Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony Friday asked the country's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to exhibit its capacity to develop 5,000-km range ballistic missiles at the earliest.
"DRDO must demonstrate the capability to develop missiles of the range of 5,000 km at the earliest. This is a challenge for the DRDO and I hope they will successfully meet this challenge at the earliest," the minister said at a gathering of defense scientists in the national capital.
He also urged the DRDO to build a credible missile defense system for the country.
"The interceptor missile defense program has taken India into the elite club of nations that possess the capability to demonstrate this technology. DRDO should now concentrate on developing a credible ballistic missile defense for the country," the minister said.
