Pakistan test fires new missiles

I saw the coverage on NDTV 24x7 about Pakistan test firing new missiles. The military has been working on modifying the missile to allow launches from mobile platforms.

Pakistan and India have a history of bitter relations. The two neighbours have fought three wars after gaining independence from Britain in 1947.

Pakistan on Friday successfully test-fired an upgraded version of a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

The army’s Strategic Missile Group launched the Ghauri missile, which has a range of 810 miles, from an undisclosed location, it said.

The relations between the two countries have improved markedly since 2004, when they began a peace process aimed at resolving outstanding disputes, including competing claims to the divided Himalayan region of Kashmir.

I prefer watching NDTV 24x7 as it is India’s most respected news channel and the news coverage is ‘to the point’ unlike other news channel where every news is a breaking news.

The experience only improves as I have subscribed to DirecTv. There’s no need to buy any costly equipments, I received installation of a 4-room DirecTV system alongwith the subscription.
