| Organization of Islamic Conference slams India over fence |
| 2005-09-26 |
| Strongly supporting the Indo-Pak peace dialogue, the organization of Islamic Conference has said the process should lead to solving of the "core dispute" of Jammu and Kashmir and raised the issue of UN resolutions in this regard. It, however expressed "serious concern" over the building of the fence along the line of control by India which, it alleged, is in contravention of international and bilateral agreements. The ministers called upon the international community, particularly the United Nations and United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to "take note of the Indian actions and ensure respect and implementation of all international and bilateral agreements on LOC." |

| #6 Weaponry on the Mysore: "Sixteen 3M-24E (Kh-35 Uran or NATO: SS-N-25 Switchblade) AShMs, housed in four quadruple KT-184 launchers, angled at 30º, two on either side of the bridge superstructure. Equivalent to the Harpoon Block 1C AShM, these missiles have active radar homing (ARH) out to a range of 130 km at 0.9 Mach, with a 145 kg warhead. All 16 missiles can be ripple-fired in 2-3 second intervals. The Delhi Class will be retrofitted with the GLONASS-steered, land-attack 3M24E1 Uranium AShM at a later date. The 3M24E1 AShM - export variant of the 3M24M1 - has more fuel, which extends range to 250 km. Five 533mm PTA 533 quintuple torpedo tube launchers are fitted amidships. The launchers are of modular construction and can fire different types of heavyweight torpedoes such as wire guided or wake homing types. The Delhi Class destroyers are armed with the SET-65E; anti-submarine, active & passive homing torpedo to 8.1n miles; 15 km at 40 knots with a 205 kg warhead and the Type 53-65; passive wake homing torpedo to 10.3n miles; 19 km at 45 knots with a 305 kg warhead." |

| #3 How fitting that the OIC should have a problem with fences built to stop terrorist infiltration (in both Israel and India) but not the terrorist attacks themselves. |
