Re: Why We Need Pokhran-3

4. The only way to deter Pak from the Hamas strategy is to own MegaTon weapons, and confirm to Pak that we will kill every last Pakistani if they hit us with even a single KT weapon.

Re: Why We Need Pokhran-3

You've just said it - we're BUYING - they're not giving weapons for free - they NEED OUR MONEY. India's latest defense trade import with the US is around 20 billion USD/year, and France's is 10 billion USD/year. About 31 billion/year USD in non-defense imports come from the US, and less than 10 bil...
