'India readying weapon to destroy enemy satellites

Thiruvananthapuram: Indian defence scientistsare readying a weapons system to neutralise enemy satellites operatingin low-earth orbit, a top defence scientist said here on Sunday.
"India is putting together building blocks of technology that could be used to neutralise enemy satellites," Defence Research and Development Organisation Director General V K Saraswat told reporters on the sidelines of the 97th Indian Science Congress.
However, he added that the defence scientists have not planned any tests but have started planning such technology which could be used to leapfrog to build a weapon in case the country needed it. Saraswat, who is also the Scientific Adviser to Defence Minister, said the scientists were planning to build the weapon which would have the capacity to hit and destroy satellites in low-earth orbit and polar orbit.
