Re: Operation Balakot: News & Discussion
I do not think the Akhnoor dagger poses any threat to India anymore- this is not the 70’s or 80’s when the only lifeline to J and K passed within arty shot of this dagger. Nowadays it is a convenient bulls eye area for Dhanush and Pinaka. Which is why I would be very surprised if India did salami s...

Re: Indian ASAT test
Just wondering aloud if the IN will be involved in any future ASAT ops as it opens up a whole range of possibilities to counteract PRC's C3I & space infra over the open ocean. Any of the new DDG's or upcoming SSBN's can accommodate BMD's in their silos? I see the next step as a user-trial which ...

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion - June'14
Thx Kanson. If its a 2 m diameter for a proposed sub launched version, then it means a different design for VLT's & hence a new class of SSBN, after S4 & S5.
Same would apply for land silos too.

Questions arise about the underwater version of A6, will it have the same dimensions as the K4/K5? If not, then it means a new class of SSBN (similar to how the USN developed the Polaris, Poseidon class leading to the Trident class subs due to first-strike and counterforce compulsions).
