This is going to be a bigger and bigger problem in the future 😢

The animation of the 2019 Indian ASAT test is misleading as the ASAT interceptor was flown such that it struck its' target as it was descending towards Earth to minimise that amount of debris going to higher orbits.

India in general is not a threat to anyone but always be careful of enemies and their capabilities

Why did you even say that? 😂Has nothing to do with the video... Just get the motto of video into ur head. All r one... No need to promote or hate country 🙄😒

@Real_SiRi i mean thats the obvious next conclusion right, a country testing a new weapons technological is made to look bad
