Re: Why We Need Pokhran-3

IMHO the two things India lacks are a credible megaton device (design) and or actual warhead and an openly announced sub or land (silo) launched MIRV missile with a range in excess of 12,000 km. Yes, both have been bandied about and alluded to, but if it is to become a regional or bigger power, what...

Re: India-Qatar Fallout: News & Discussion

Why not arrest 8 qataris in India on espionage charges, conduct a secret sham trial, and do a prisoner exchange. We all know the Qatar trial is a farce. Why not pay back with the same hand?

Re: Why We Need Pokhran-3

I agree with the Mt devices. But where would you test them? I thought I remembered in 1998 that they deliberately dialed down the yield not to inflict collateral damage or a radiation leak on the nomadic population that lived near Pokhran.

Hello fellow Konkani. And yes we are all Indians. ^^^^ I have to defend myself here. :) Rao actually originates from the Kargil area.
