INDIA: AGNI-5 NUCLEAR CAPABLE MISSILE CAN STRIKE TARGETS BEYOND ITS RANGE
DRDO acknowledged Agni-5 can strike targets beyond its range…beyond 20% …beyond 7,000 kms" (Economic Times, 17 Dec)
…its a pattern of presenting fait accompli after series of lies: 1) Signed Chemical Weapons Convention as a possessor State after denying it had chemical weapons; 2) stole/ diverted fissile material from CIRUS to test nuclear weapon in 1974….
…3) Denied pre-emptive Cold Start Doctrine’s existence (allies also pushed the untruth) for 13 years before acknowledging its existence in 2015…the list long and Twitter space less 😊

This actually makes quite a bit of sense. The point of the #UAS restriction was originally to prevent the transfer of target drones that could be repurposed as cruise missiles.
Taiwan, for example, acquired a US-built target drone in the 1980s that it seems to have believed would make a good cruise missile. ImageImage
The drones we use today are much more like remote-controlled aircraft than missiles, as @mchorowitz has pointed out.
