weird, is this propaganda? I'm pretty sure India was making Russian cruise missiles for a while.
From what I've read, it appears to resemble our first generation Tomahawks more than anything else, though it doesn't appear to have a sophisticated adaptive guidance system and its "radar invisibility" is accomplished by TFR.
probably Israel.
Israel won't sell to any muslim country.
i think some typo corrected .. :-S
It can hit Delhi and Mumbai if launched from the Paki border bases. Delhi is like some 300 odd km.
Israel sells to Turkey all the time.
Don't mind the neo-Nazi clowns. It was probably China.
"Interesting. So Delhi is 180 miles? (Is that New Delhi or another city by the name of Delhi?)"
Yes Delhi and New Delhi are adjacent.
"Israel sells to Turkey all the time."
Turkey was unIslamized after WW1. God bless them Allies! Pak instead is a jehadi country that created the talib, that proliferated nukes to other countries, and a country whose foreign policy is "terrorism in India".
What's next, the test firing of the 49 theives?
