India Missile Test Sparks Western Media Controversy
India recently conducted a successful test of its Agni-5 intermediate-range ballistic missile, capable of reaching any part of China with a nuclear warhead. This launch validates key operational and technical parameters. This missile test comes amidst strained relations with China and is part of India’s efforts to strengthen its defense capabilities, particularly against both China and Pakistan, which also possesses nuclear weapons. Furthermore, India is navigating complex geopolitical dynamics, including trade disputes with the U.S. and efforts to mend ties with China while also participating in regional security initiatives.
