They will re issue it again omitting 'Andaman' may be. Given the sensitivity of the test from their as It may upset many countries.

My question is,is it mandatory to reveal all the missile conducted tests to the press. Why can't they make it confidential.

And why people free are obsessed with Nuclear weapons as if we will use it in every day war . One poop on any nation will destroy the whole planet in the end.

So stick to he topic ... Our Navy has to get whole new package for AN . Not only brahmos but shifting our old submarines to AN can provide more than enough support for our tri command . Great going indeed . Brahmos can shift the power projection in SCS .

It is a message to China .... when Modi is about to visit them.

They do incursions in Leh and India tests Missile. This is going no where. Chinese bullying tactics must stop for the benefit of both the countries. India is no push over, those tricks do not work.

BTW each regiment consist of 72 Missiles. We need more of them in IOR region.

The most important part is the operationalizing a regiment in Andaman and Nicobar. If we can add more long range radars and develop a bigger military complex including a submarine docking facility, then it adds a whole new value to the strategic importance of A&N. Would like to see more regiments there including Akash (Mk1 and Mk2) as well as some Agnis and Shauryas...

Our BMD regiment also

India's Diego Garcia is in making..

 

[PARIKRAMA]

i believe the operationalising of regiment should have been kept secret for some more time till we add a bit more lethal dose of arsenal there. By letting the world know about A&N is a missive as now the world knows that brahmos with a range of published 290 km and unpublished 550-600 km range gives a good control over the region. On top declaring a block 3 variant deployment is adding a high value capability there.

Probably as past data of K series test have suggested the unpublished test and results are a better way to do the things. May be later via India today or other journals publishing is better.

All in alla good news and since already GOI declared with a press release even if it withdraws it is clear there are new unpublished tests continuously going on.. Which is what we need.. add new capability in new places..

time is 20:10 so a new release
