Another astute reader (I think I spoke with all 3 readers today), pointed out that the DRDO’s VK Saraswat suggested in the below video (which I originally blogged “here”:http://www.totalwonkerr.net/2199/agni-v-test) at about 2:53 that the Agni V test may aid India’s development of anti-satellite weapons.
Now, I don’t know whether and to what extent his comment reflects Indian policy, but there it is.
