Missile test launch successful in India
India announces the successful test launch of a new nuclear-capable missile which boosted India’s efforts to become a respected world-power.
The successful test launch of a new nuclear-capable missile was announced by India on Thursday.
This new missile could give the country the ability to strike major Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai for the first time.
With a range of 5,000 km (3,100 miles), the Agni-V missile still requires numerous tests to be carried out before it is added to India’s arsenal.
The successful launch was considered a major boost to India’s efforts to become a respected world power and counter China’s regional supremacy.
The test did not cause the same global condemnation as when North Korea’s rocket launch resulted in failure.
Mission director for the test, Ayinash Chandra said the missile performed as planned.

Can anyone explain why India was not condemned for this missile test? Maybe is it because India is an ally ot the USA? I think all nuclear missiles should be condemned, no matter which country is it! It's all WARFARE!
