#1 I must think differently than the rest of the world, they see no problem redying a missile for a week or more?
But I think If it takes more than a minute to ready and fire a missile, then it's worthless.

#3 The Agni-2 itself can be launched in under 15 minutes.

They delayed the test because of the Indian elections. There was the possibility of a complaint to the electoral commission that this was an attempt by the governing party to burnish its credentials before the voters. The commission has stopped the distribution of housing for slum dwellers etc until after the elections. Two of the Slumdog Millionaire kids got caught up in all this.

#4 I wasn't speaking only of the Agni-II.

How about a few weeks ago when NORK took a full week or more to "Fuel" their missile?
