Re: Shaheen 2 - proliferation unlimited?
The Israelis are not going to like this one bit. Considering the sanguine reaction from New Delhi, I wonder if it was their chankian way of saying "you fired another ? Umm, so what else is new ? Its not us who are p1ssed. Keep your eyes open looking for low flying F-15s with a Star of David on ...

Re: Shaheen 2 - proliferation unlimited?
Originally posted by Sridhar: Actually, Suraj, it appears as if Israel is just out of range if you see map you have posted above. Interesting. But Quetta is by no means the westernmost point of Pakistan. That's why I mentioned 'western Baluchistan' - if they fired from close to Zahedan in Iran or G...

I was looking at exactly that now: mapOriginally posted by Sridhar:
Look at the circle from Quetta, not Karachi.
Well within range of Israel from western Baluchistan.

Re: Shaheen 2 - proliferation unlimited?
Not of direct relevance to Shaheen 2 but helpful to analyze range claims: great circle mapper
1500 km from Karachi
2000 km from Karachi
1500 km from Karachi
2000 km from Karachi

Re: Top 100,000 Websites: Bharat Rakshak!!!
One possible suggestion for this website: Some kind of BR news section like Sulekha's newshopper, with Indian military news updated daily along with any links to other sites. The military/strategic news folders could be leveraged for the purpose. Sure, it means greater management overhead, but that ...

Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 20 Feb 2004
Rangudu makes a couple of excellent suggestions. Its not about preventing proliferation; its about retaining monopoly over a potent instrument of deterrence. "Nuclear monopolists" sounds a hell of a lot more practical than "non-proliferation supporters" - the term monopoly has im...

Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 04 Feb 2004
The most frequently dished out reasons for handling Mush with kid gloves are: a) 'Co-operation' in A'stan b) Apres moi, la deluge. In other words, the feared Islamist takeover that is so scary to US. Now, co-operation in Afghanistan has been sporadic at best, mostly upon significant arm-twisting. I'...

Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 04 Feb 2004
I still see your argument as a case of drastically exaggerating the potential of punitive action from the Saudis and Chinese if the US had been more strident in their response to Pakistani proliferation. Why would they ? To speak in terms of your description of the mindset of war and peace, the mind...

Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 04 Feb 2004
I don't have much faith in the "we'll go easy about the nukes if you hand us Osama in fall 2004" argument. That's too simple. Too straightforward. The story doesn't end there. This isn't about just the nukes or about Osama. It doesn't answer the question of *why* the Pakis were allowed to ...

Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 04 Feb 2004
I fear an effort to tie any attempt by Iraq to get nuke tech with Paki proliferation will not help. You could have a picture of AXK/Mush and Saddam kissing each other in front of a nuke at one of Saddam's palaces and the SD will still tap dance around that. At worst, they'll blame Saddam and provide...

Re: Agni-I/SR: Strategic Implications (Thread 2)
I read someplace (FAS ?) that the Prithvi is coated with radar-absorbent material. Is this true ? And if so does it in anyway affect the radar-signature vis-a-vis Agni ?

Re: Agni-I/SR: Strategic Implications (Thread 1)
How are the Pakis going to fire a missile with all those USN ships in the Arabian Sea ? What if a stray Ghauri hit the Kitty Hawk ?
