http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/mar/29/brahmos-missile-successfully-test-fired-again.htm "The missile was successfully launched at 11.15 am and in the next two-and-a-half minutes, it hit the bull's eye in the Pokhran firing range in Rajasthan," an official said. 290 KM in 150 seconds tr...

The report is correct. If we don't deploy and try to develop best in the world system, it just makes it impossible. DRDO has got the right approach in breaking down the various stages. An early deployment would also clear out various operational issues, provide a better understanding of requirements...

Based on the cancellation of further missiles and closing down of production line at Bharat Dynamics http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Mar72009/scroll20090307122568.asp?section=frontpagenews That's what surprised me.. I don't look at a situation where we need the Prithvi in a nuclear role. Yes, It...

Bharat

My 2 cents worth.... Brahmos is a tactical battlefield weapon; so it can be used as a tactical missile for terrorist camps, static radars, buildings (hosting enemy intel centers) in a city etc. It has a range of 290 Kms with 600 lb warhead. It cannot be nuclear tipped unless we have that weight warh...

Bharat

How can two or three more tests be sufficient? Shouldn't we test fire an actual Agni missile on a 1,500 Km range and intercept it? Maybe that's on the cards, but I have not read about. It appears that DRDO undertook this test. Shouldn't an operational test be conducted by the army/air force who are ...

Great Job!!! What are the chances of an IN ship getting into a bad tangle with these guys? What impact can a RPG have on the ship's exterior; or if it sneaks through on the ship upper structure?

The bans are useless. Dawood has been declared a terrorist for 5 years now. What's happened? nothing.. zilch.. nada.Does not the US know the truth about Hafiz Saeed and Azhar..What about the IC814 hijackers?

Bharat

There has never been a case of multiple terror situations within kms in an urban environment. The entire Indian security apparatus was caught unawares, and I would not say that our response was the best we could do at the time. Once it's over, we should do a synopsis of the attacks and develop plans...

Bharat

For Special Forces.. there are possibly two level of active deployments. 1. Attack/sabotage which requires insertion of troops .. Well, if its a Kargil type war, then the decision lies with the local commander ( Tiger Hill). If its a one off operation which involves a snatch job of high profile targ...

Surya, when you mean mufti .. you mean covert ops. Those guys do not remain on stand by teams for hostage recovery. They are intel guys who are trained differently. HRT does only hostage recovery.. .They do not do cross border attacks or sabotage attacks. Also when you shave your head regularly.. th...

I understand the problem of having the local country supporting us for a rescue mission. But have we developed policy on we would handle it. Has the NSG evolved since the last rescue mission?

Bharat

I have not seen this thread (maybe in trash can) which deals specifically with HRT. I tried to raise this topic in an earlier thread but got no response. We need to develop a credible HRT team which can land in any part of India with air time + 1 hr. Plus we need to have teams ready to perform on sh...

The other aspect of AQK is that in future a Pakistani scientist would think a hundred times before doing something illegal in another nation or proliferating to Fundoos etc etc. on Govt. orders.

Now only the hardline scientists would work with the super fundoos...

Bharat

My two cents worth of analysis ..... The pressure from the US must have been enormous. For Musharraf to sack a national hero is a big big dangerous step. As far as lot of Pakistanis are concerned the issue that Khan made money and is superduper rich is not that important. The fact is Pak has a nucle...

Bharat

It seems to me that the US allowing the perception that pakistan is a nuclear weapons state to persist is purely so that it can continue to work on "denuclearizing the region". If pakistan is publicly known to be nuke nude, then the non prolif jihadis in the US SD have no excuse for de-nu...

John Umrao and Vijay J Read what C Rajamohan has written carefully. Lot of it is true . There will be ramifications for us too. Be sure for that. Already someone like Krepon has stated that "India and Pak" have unsecured nuclear facilities. We will have to bring about laws (if we don't hav...

The reports on Beg, Gul and Xerox is a testing of the waters by the Mush Govt. They want to see the public reaction and take action. Primarily because Beg and Gul represent the era where militancy started to climb. They hold vast influence over the fundoos and bridge the gap between Army and Terrori...

If Pakistan has been denuked then the non proliferation Gurus would expect India to be presurrised next. But right now Iran, NK, and Libya are the nations on the radar.

The area commander should have the right to vacate intruders.
But as far as IAF is concerned the approval should be from the MOD.
The reason for that is IAF will be an increase in the level of warfare and this would lead to an egg in the face when local commander and IAF commander jump the gun.

"In this case, more Pakistani soldiers may have been involved," said an army officer. The Indian Army initially mounted artillery attacks from three sides on the structures built by the Pakistanis. Pakistani troops responded with equally fierce artillery fire, leading to the death of at...

Raj , you are dead on. I don't think IAF would be allowed to go to anti nuclear operations.It would be tough to do it successfully and miscalculation chances are high. IAF would go for air bases, ammo and fuel dumps.IAF would also go for camps , madrassas , terrorists HQ. IA would go for forward cam...

"Pakistan’s uranium bombs are designed to be dropped by plane or carried by Ghauri missiles, while smaller plutonium warheads can be attached to Chinese-made M-11 missiles." What is the difference in weight ? You require 6 kg of Plutonium instead of 35 kg of Uranium.That is not a major dif...

Hey, this thread has gone from discussing aspects of exercise to a punishing attack on non nuclear strategic assets to a direct attack removing Pakistan's nuke weapons.

Medhi, What I am saying is that Pakistan would not accept the fact that Prithvi is a conventional warhead... Also I am talking of a war situation where 6-7 Prithivs are in air at the same time. Also we can state that the AGNI SR has relieved the Prithvi of it's nuclear role and now it will be used p...

Bharat

The AGNI SR test can be based on the following : 1.Prithvi is not a stable platform as the fuel must be on board just hrs prior to flight. It is too close to the border for comfort and can be spied upon easily by Pak. 2.Logical conclusion of Agni is 3500+ km missile that is too hit China and that ra...

Bharat

I have seen the TV clips. It seems to be a single stage missile. The normal second stage of the AGNI is missing. It is the first stage+warhead. The 700 kms is purely Pak centric. Some analysts on TV said , I think Raj Chengappa that the Prithvi was too close to border for Indian comfort and the Agni...
