March 27, 2019 19:36

Defence Research and Development Organisation chief G Satheesh Reddy speaks on successful anti-satellite missile test.

Calling it 'a great achievement for India', Reddy said technology used for test has been completely developed indigenously.

"We have matured to develop technology which could achieve accuracy in terms of centimeters. Anti-satellite missile test has reflected our capability and will act as good deterrence," Reddy said.

He said that clearance for the project was given over two years ago.

"The project was implemented in fastest way possible. It shows DRDO's capability in doing such programmes," he said. -- PTI
