India First To Build a Supersonic Cruise Missile
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt: "India successfully tested Sunday a 'maneuverable' version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile which it has jointly developed with Russia, news reports said. The vertical-launch version of the 290-kilometer range BrahMos was tested from a warship in the Bay of Bengal off India's eastern coast, the PTI news agency reported. 'The vertical-launch version of missile was launched at 11:30 (0600 GMT) hours today from Indian Navy ship INS Ranvir and it manoeuvred successfully hitting the target ship. It was a perfect hit and a perfect mission,' BrahMos aerospace chief A Sivathanu Pillai was quoted as saying. 'After today's test, India has become the first and only country in the world to have a manoeuvrable supersonic cruise missile in its inventory,' Pillai said."
Not ones that go faster then the speed of sound. It ain't all that hard, it is in the bloody title.
But don't worry. The US still leads in idiots I see.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
India, the Barney Fife of nations.
Not very. The payload is actual Indians, which are considered to be biological and chemical warfare due to the noxiousness of their stink.
An attack on a sub would not cause harm to the sub crew, but it would be an ecological disaster. All marine life within a 5-mile radius of ground zero would die and float to the surface, causing a stink almost as bad as that of downtown Bangalore.
The missile will carry a primary warhead consisting of excess jinglys picked up from the nearest poopy streets. Upon detonation the hapless target is rendered uninhabitable for 500 years due to the pervasive stench of regurgitated curry and unwashed armpits.
Hehehe, the Ruskies stuck one into them Indians.
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
hate to see what happens when he calls tech support and gets some guy in India oh wait never mind. Indian cruise missle=guarenteed to fall apart half way to the target. lolz
isnt it 'brahmins' ?

My comment is moderated redundant?
Maybe it is just me showing my age.
Back in the day, in order to be redundant, you needed to repeat, or re-iterate, in some way, something that some other person had already said.
Since no previous comment had been made on this topic, I am at a total loss trying to understand how my comment can be 'redundant'.
Sigh... I will never get used to modern times where you can be redundant before you speak.
