our circle is actually bigger because it includes the United states itself. And i guess i am not being politically correct here. The united states has the capability to hold the entire world at risk. while it may be finding it difficult to defeat elusive enemies in some insurgencies, it continues to...

once we break into the brave new world of better and more reliable weapons. the west will be presented with a fait accompli , because we would *already have the capability* . A few NPAs may bitch but my expectation is, we will subsequently be presented with an even more honourable deal and even more...

To me, the deterrence issues are: 1) Does India possess nuclear weapons? i.e., things that CAN cause instant, massive destruction? 2) Does India have systems deployed to deliver these a) with rapid response, b) survivability to pre-emptive surprise attack c) reliably and d) accurately enough to hit...

Why is this relevant? Both issues are true and the situation will be exacerbated by sanctions. Whether or not food imports is the answer is immaterial: fact is GoI WILL import food if basic food stuffs start increasing, and that requires forex, which IS affected by sanctions. it is relevant because...

I believe that the current environment is pretty darn okay for testing. Ten years down the line it will probably be even easier to test. however , what about the new weapons that people like me keep harping on? If they can be developed with a LIF or otherwise , great. But if they can't , then we nee...

Heck the US can even penalize, an...

We are already half crippled by the oil shock as you’ve posted in the Economy thread. Can you imagine what a sanctions regime on top of that would entail? And less discount the fact that this UPA government is bad, corrupt etc. As Doc Shiv has said, let’s take all that as a given And exactly wh...

Gentlemen, the impulse for the Indo-U.S nuclear deal is business , security/NPA lobby is the constraint on which a utility maximization problem is being done. Big business is pushing the deal and they have tried to keep an age old U.S lobby somewhat mollified. However when push comes to shove they w...

The A2(AT) as per Arun has a range of more than 4000 km for 1500 kg. Its safe to assume with 1000 kg payload it can do 5000 kg. Now distance from mumbai to Beijing 4875 km and to shanghai 5046 Km. What makes you thing the Agni-2 (AT) has to be in tawang to target these cities? A2 essentially covers...

I am more concerned about the A2-At's deployment than its capability. the Chinese continue to have a superior BM capability than us and they might try to shut us out in the event of a conflict. the A2-At is rail mobile and for it to truly serve as a conventional weapon (flying = response time) , it ...

Pu-240 on the other hand is extremely fissile and if more than 5% will cause pre-detonation in gun type bums and contamination with 240 will cause the pit to be hot. More importantly, all the neutron flux will make the bum itself radio active and the neutron hitting the metal components will disloc...

1. A single loss of satellite to ASAT? Why would an adversary launch a *single* ASAT weapon and take *only one* satellite down? If I am that adversary, I will launch multiple ASAT and strive to take *all* your satellite down and as weill strive to take *all* our strike capability out. Ergo, that is...

there is a tendency among some people to imagine U.S intervention at India's behest when there was none. it is basically borne out of a feeling that the U.S has warmed up to us and that it is seeing us as a bulwark against the Chinese. In any event , even if it is, we shouldn't be seeing ourselves i...

My question is, what if India were able to stockpile 500 warheads, and not worry about testing in the near to medium term future. In what way would this affect deterrence or any other geopolitical goal? Why would yields or scalability matter at all? For a goal of 8 citiies - 500 warheads - even of ...
