Vinayak and Disha, it's entirely possible that even after India tests a round of 300 kiloton bombs, the US will still deny in public the yield given bu Indian scientists and the yield measured by the Americans themself.

Well, then detonate three or four 300 kiloton nuke boms, in such a manner that Americans, Europeans and Chinese can measure the yield and quickly demonstrate MIRV technology. This is again based on the premise that they will measure it accurately or report back accurate figures. That is not the way...

If the thrust is going in all different directions (spirals and dog wags), wouldn't the missile also wobble all over the place eventually losing control? I do not see any control fins on the vehicle, so I'm struggling to...

My point exactly: we have had to interpolate/extrapolate from brief stone carvings and stories (which could be part myth) to deduce social structures.
