Barrak Hussain Obama presiding in UNSC and crafted this draft Draft of U.N. Security Council Resolution on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Nuclear Disarmament. the target of this UNSC draft is only India. In particular the following two articles 15, 17 are highly damaging to Indian interests and plugs/...

I just hope the govt withstands the pressure of the "Need to test" lobby. Oh yeah. CTBT or not, India's weapon capability , just like everyone else's is frozen at current levels. But dayumm.. One chance Vajpayee gave to the BARC dudes, and they blew it. That is the line I have been parrot...

According to you, are any FBF weapons based on the S-1 primary weaponized and deployed ?

Since I am not affiliated to government in anyway and have no access to secrets, I can only say highly probable.

How many MIRV can the Agni-5 carry with 25kT yeald/weight , onleee 3 ? Correct, 3 MIRV with Indian payload designed for Agni-II. It was confirmed to me by a senior DRDO scientist (on record, no OSA WOSHA secret) who was also at Pok-II few years ago, and that is the reason it is depicted as such on ...

Santhanam's article clears some things up, but creates some more confusions.. BARC claimed the fission weapons yield was 15KT, Santhanam says it was 25KT, why the discrepancy here? :-? Perhaps the FBF primary of the S1 experiment has been deployed as the weapon and not the 15KT weapon in TajMahal s...

The 25 kT he is talking is the S1 weapon as it is was tested.

How many projects did the ex-DRDO scientist deliver on his own time commitment for those killed weapons import? I do not recall even ONE. IOW failed in his own terms of measurement matrices.

India has an explicit agreement with IAEA and NSG and US which says that certain facilities are under safeguards. Period. IOW, this is what NWS do. Lesson: India is NWS.

Obama has made no move to abrogate the nuclear deal and reimpose the NSG full scope rules. He tried and seems to have failed - at the G8. I can see him splitting the entire topic and getting what he can. Then he will repeat the process and go as far as he can. He will never threaten India (or Pak/I...

OK. Harpoon is turbojet powered missile with a solid fuel booster for surface and underwater launch. Lengthening the turbo jet portion to add extra fuel would also add weight which the solid booster has to accomodate and all this requies launch validation.

Reality is more dynamic, probabilistic and involved.

BTW IIRC most weapons are designed with safeing method that relies on Boosting gas as a critical safeing element. In those FBF weapons the first few generations of fission be near core center.

The highlighted part is incorrect. In boosted fission there is no staging/sequence the way you put it. The fission never stops from beginning to end, while fusion is a brief flash in the beginning of fission Sorry sir. Your statement is correct but that does not make what I have written wrong.

Re Shiv Actually the nuclear physics package or the TN device itself is very small, something like 50kg for modern 100kt device. As a thumb rule (based on a link above) 50% of the payload should be nuclear payload while 50% of the nuclear device should be the "physics package". In case of...

I would guess that Indian weapons are heavier and may (I am guessing) give yields of 60-80 kiloton at weights of 500 kg.

It cant be masked as 30 kT period !! Yes but Seismologists may be tempted to admit that there are error margins is all seismological estimates.
