No move to cap long-range missiles
New Delhi: The Government on Monday made it clear that there was no move to cap the range and reach of the countrys surface-to-surface missiles.
There are no instructions from the Government to defence scientists on missile development programme, a Defence Ministry spokesman said here, reacting to reports that India had decided to cap the range of long-range missiles to only 5,000 km distance.
The missile programme is going on as per security requirements of the country, he said.
The Government clarification comes as Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) missile scientist are awaiting government clearance on development and testing of longer range missiles of AGNI-III versions. PTI
