While praising the record launch as “India’s triumph”, today’s report also said “with respect to the research and development of both military and commercial rocket launch services, India lags behind China, the US and Russia”.
“India cannot match them yet unless it has enough rockets types to fulfil all satellites launches,” it quoted Zhang as saying.
