Agni V gets Chinese media talking about Indian military strength

[indian_foxhound]

The display of India’s military strength,
specially the intercontinental ballistic missile
Agni-V, has been highlighted by Chinese
official media in Beijing on Saturday. The highlight of the 100-minute Republic Day
parade was the display of nuclear-capable
Agni-V, capable of striking targets some
6,000 km away, State-run Xinhua news
agency said in its report. Agni V’s test in April last year evoked interest
in China as it, for the first time, brought in its
range far off Chinese cities. China too has its ICBMs that could reach nooks
and corners of India. The test put India in the elitist club of
countries with intercontinental missiles which
included the United States, Russia, Britain,
France and China, the Xinhua report said. It said that along with the missile, the
domestically designed Arjun main battle tank,
supersonic cruise missile Brahmos, Pinaka
multi- barrel rocket launcher, a CBRN
(chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear)
warfare reconnaissance vehicle, a bridge- laying tank and a mobile integrated network
terminal system were also paraded during the
event. The Dhruv advanced light helicopter of the
Indian Army, the “eye in the sky” atop an
Embraer 145 airborne early warning and
control aircraft of the Indian Air Force were
also shown besides Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter,
the report said. China-India bilateral ties, including the defence
relations were on upswing in recent years. While the Chinese Defence Minister Liang
Guanglie made a rare visit to India last year,
the militaries of the two countries this year
decided to resume military exercises. For the first time two countries have decided
to scale up their defence engagement to all
the three forces-Army, Navy and Air Force.
