"Pinpoint accuracy"

Latest comment: 6 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The use of the phrase "pinpoint accuracy" in the the third paragraph is a clear violation of Wikipedia:FLOWERY in my opinion given that accuracy is not quantitatively described with circular error probable. The term is ostensibly attributed to this article, but has been in various outlets since at least 2015, with sources (to my knowledge) ultimately pointing to statements made by those involved in the testing or development of the missile itself (the first link does not provide any attribution, while the second links to someone from BrahMos Aerospace, for instance).

I think we should delete this phrase entirely (end at "800 km range") or modify it along the lines of "reportedly pinpoint accuracy", sourcing concerns notwithstanding
