India to introduce ICBM to strategic forces - UPI.com
UPI reports: "India is planning to induct its latest intercontinental ballistic
missile into strategic forces, according to multiple press reports.
Agni-V, the fifth missile in a series, is a long-range projectile that
could bring into range targets across China, Defenseworld.net reported
Monday.
The ballistic missile was tested in June for the sixth time, is nuclear
capable and has a striking distance of 3,100 miles, according to India
TV News. [...] India is one of a handful of countries that have retained
long-range missiles, a list that includes the United States, China,
Russia, France and North Korea."
Comment: Your move China. Whatever happens with North Korean disarmament, the fact remains that the world is set on a course of nuclear proliferation and not much is being done to stop that trend. We currently have a system where bad actors get nukes and those countries that play by the rules don't. We need to turn that upside down.
