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 😊

4) Increased BrahMos range after becoming member of #MTCR

5) Now Agni-5 acknowledged as ICBM after years of denial about its actual range

6) They claimed one of 1998 test was a fizzle 💭
