Biological Weapons: News & Discussion

Post by rsingh »

All 5 permanent members of UN SC are known to have stockpiles of Biological weapons. Subject is taboo. It is not discussed in mass media and I do not recall reading about this topic. Here I am going to post relevant information.
Which country have stockpile of Biological weapons? How big is stockpile? What is their doctrine regarding use of such weapons? What are thresholds?
If some country decides to use It? Declared or not declared. How it will look Like? What are measures taken to counter biological weapons?

India ratified the biological weapons convention we also destroyed our chemical weapons in 2009. UPA era love. SoKO and albania are only other countries. rest all is speculation. I dont think we will see much evidence of it. that said, both bio and chemical warfare are well within our reach given our massive production capacity.
