I respect my army; but instead of experimenting on new missiles every quarter, channel these funds to uplift social infrastructure in the country.

While such tests are necessary for testing purposes we need to increase the range of said missiles. Can we invest in 1 or 2 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICMB). These are essential for strategic defense and need to be invested in immediately as part of our national defense policy.
