Until now, only US, China and Russia had destroyed a satellite in orbit. India has now joined that club.

Claiming a capability and demonstrating it are two different things.

Election stunt or not, this is a historic event.

It's best if DRDO and their amazing engineers' achievement is not belittled by bringing politics. Whether its an election stunt is irrelevant to this discussion.

The relevant part is that if this was already done in 2012 then it's hardly news, and replaying old news as if it was new is an old election stunt.
