Arms-india-missile New Delhi
Vajpayee was addressing the nation from the ramparts of the 17th Century Mughal Red Fort monument on India's Independence Day.

Shrugging off international pressure, particularly from the United States, not to conduct a missile test, India test-fired Agni-II, an upgraded version of Agni, in April this year. The new version has a planned range of around 2,200 km (1,375 miles) and could reach deep into China or Pakistan.

Arch-foe Pakistan, which matched India's nuclear tests in May 1998, also countered New Delhi's missile test this year within days with its Ghauri-II missile.

The two neighbours, who have fought three wars since their independence from Britain in 1947, were on the verge of a fourth war earlier this year when India launched a military offensive against guerrilla infiltrators in disputed Kashmir. The crisis ended after Pakistan agreed to seek their withdrawal.
