Hat trick
India has once again tested its indigenous missile defence system; once again successfully intercepting an incoming ballistic missile. India is working toward a "viable defence system" by 2010.
The interception took place at an altitude of 80 km over the Bay of Bengal. The Dhanush missile was destroyed in its path in both a direct-hit and detonation of the warhead of the interceptor, which is an advanced Prithvi missile.
Dhanush was simulating the trajectory of ballistic missiles with a range of 1,500 km, similar to Pakistan’s Ghauri.

Remember: "Scientific consensus" once sneered at and dismissed ballistic missile defence as an impossible Star Wars fantasy. Not that the Empire were experts on the subject either, but something to keep in mind the next time some neo-pagan half-wit tells you global warming climate change is settled science.
