Chinese Missiles
In an alarming revelation, it was revealed in Pentagon's annual report on Chinese military buildup that China has deployed very advanced and survivable solid-fuel nuclear capable CSS-5 MRBM missiles on Indian border. It reveals that a high degree of mistrust continues to strain the bilateral ties between both the countries. According to the report, China has replaced liquid-fuelled, nuclear-capable CSS-2 IRBMs with more advanced and survivable solid-fuelled CSS-5 MRBM systems on the Indian borders. However, Indian Air Force Chief Norman Anil Kumar Browne showed no panic over the Pentagon report. Dismissing the finding, he said New Delhi has its own plans to counter such situations. "These (threats) are all known, it is nothing that we are worried about. We have our own plans and we are moving ahead with our own plans. These are the realities we have to deal with," Browne told the reporters, quotes IANS.
