Now all they need is the Nuclear material.....and they are good to go. Naturally Pakistan isn't to happy about this. Nor China. What say ye?
India on Saturday successfully used a mobile launcher to test-fire a nuclear-capable ballistic missile that could strike targets in Pakistan and China. The Agni-V is India’s first intercontinental ballistic missile. It has a range of around 5,000 kilometers. The ability to fire it using a mobile launcher increases the number of potential targets India would be able to reach.
India is slowly becoming one of the world’s biggest military powers. Its defense budget—more than $30 billion last year—is on course to become the fourth-largest in the world behind the U.S., China and Russia in the next five years, according to IHS Jane’s, a defense publisher. It is already the biggest arms importer in the world. Soon after taking office, Mr. Modi’s government eased restrictions on foreign direct investment in defense companies to encourage more international companies to manufacture in India.....snip~
