ShauryaT - not quite. It means that if Arun is correct then S-2 had a 20KT yield and S-1 had a 27kt yield instead of its planned 45kT. It still means the FBF primary for S-1 worked. What happened after that is still unclear. The gap between the way DRDO seems to have read things for S1 and S2 and t...

The hole in my analysis of fission bomb being 25kt is that why did Sanathanam only say BARC agreed with their analysis of Fission yield? He should have then fired the nuke, by adding that the "agreed yield" of fission bomb was 25kt and BARC "begged" that in public domain it shoul...

As soon as Maharashtra elections are over, MMS will find some glib way to surrender to the wishes of Uncle SAM

He said per HT:- Santhanam triggered the debate in August by saying the hydrogen bomb test’s explosive yield had been only 25 kilotonnes, and not the official 40-50 kilotonnes. But he believes that India’s nuclear deterrent is not credible with warheads limited to 15 kilotonnes — the yield of a suc...

I think that Sanathanam may be saying that only "pure fission" bombs of 15kt are weaponised while FBF of 25kt and Tn of 25-350kt are in limbo Malhotra-ji this whole thread is about what someone thinks someone else said. Just check the links to see exactly what Santhanam is supposed to hav...

Raj Malhotra

Raj sahab, same can be said of most western countries in case of small arms. they use belgian and austrian designs produced under license. I'm not saying we shouldn't but not everything has to be designed here. we should actually make things under license or even ask the pvt players to do so. clear...

I posted some time on this thread that Indian govt will deny any mischief by China. This is exactly what is happening even now and NSA is going a step ahead and telling media to help the GoI in denying everything. In fact, if you listen carefully to his interview, he is indirectly saying that our po...

Raj Malhotra

Re Arun_S If you remember a discussion few months back on BRF in which some BRites pointed out that it is normal to aim at 25kt yield with fission bomb and 8kg plutonium core also gels with that yield for the fission bomb. Hence I think Sanathanams article is more damaging. I think he is saying that...

I find it very difficult to believe BARC started working on TN only in 1996. I think it would make better sense to assume that BARC has been working on TN since 1980 when Indira Gandhi came to power. The reference to 200kt FBF may have been used to give a ballpark figure to DRDO missile scientists t...

Now lets start rebuilding the fancy scenarios in which IAF will bomb the base depots, roads, bridges and railway network of China. Lets face it, IAF & Navy will not be used.

I think there is very simple reason why KS came clean. He & his other equivalent support group/scientists realised that everybody in the world community KNEW that bomb was a fizzle except Indian public.

The only real solution to this is to proof test a reworked design. I hope our scientists now don't back down and say that LIF will also do, or that given adequate computing power we can be 99.9999999999999% sure onlee.

My fear is whether TN even reached 20kt and boosted fission worked on it or it fizzled below that yield also? I answered that in my post many weeks ago. If you saying 17kt for boosted primary plus few kt of fusion and (few kt?) of secondary fission then say 17+3+10? = 30kt??? My understanding of nu...

Other day I was on paan chewing bing at nearby nukkad with friendly Afghans. In the run up to Borei, many designs were hydrodynamically tested by Rubin.

Now getting back to Arihant. Some of links given above indicate that the dimensions of Arihant are 110-112mx15mx11-13m. Now compare this with Nerpa here . On that basis Arihant should be around 15,000 tons. But then info on this site may be incorrect. I am more inclined to believe the info given at ...
