This article would make the DDM look like Einsteins, but one has to read between the lines. What the article DOES have is a table listing a series of 13 hypersonic vehicle projects. Every time they say "X passengers" you can replace that with "X 100 kg payloads". The point is th...

Shiv saar, I am a slow thinker, so the first post took good part of my day. So let me only briefly respond to some questions. From the views you have stated it appears that you believe that deterrence is a continuously moving target and keeps changing. Therefore deterrence cannot be anything but par...

Further economically recoverable Indian Uranium ore has now increased significantly in light of the global increase in energy cost. So the econ...

Great topic to spend the valuable juice.

No (that was no to satyarthi, not shauryaT), the times have changed. Tsar-Bomba may have impressed the world in 1970, but since it can't be done atmospheric, it won't be very impressive anyway.

Once more of the truth is told to them (all of it in fact), Jigoes fizzle claims become all irrelevant. I hope it is realized that Jingoes are not precipitating this issue.

I think that there will be breakout of testing around 2015-2025 due to ageing weapons of P-5 and the fact that the generation of scientists who did earlier test would be retiring Much before 2025 the definition of nuclear testing will be frozen to what is defined in CTBT. Now do you you see the cat...

I was not entirely joking with my previous post about testing. All the pre-1998 nuclear power are holding off from overt testing. Only France and China tested in 1992 - so their last chance to validate their arsenal and data was 15 years ago. Everyone's arsenal is getting older and while the US cle...

But how come the Western experts are not questioning it? Surely it should be easy for me to write to any Western nuke expert and ask him if scalability is possible or not. You could do that too and then there would be someone serious questioning that statement. That way no Indian has to worry about...

I Computer modeling has come far enough to avoid physical tests. IIRC computer were invented and available before 1998 also. So why the need for nuclear test, or LCA test flights?

The whole idea of reducing the value of weapon size and yield to the question of deterrence is (in my view) as follows. Nuclear weapons are held in inventories primarily as a symbol of the punishment one is capable of inflicting. Any adversary has to confront the reality that he, or his forces or m...
