Agni V Missile

STFU and obey my command

From the last bit of revelation from DRDO, its 250kt. We are not as advanced as the US. 200-250 kt is my guess.
Over the next year, i think we will learn more.

Also i have over the years read about indian arsenal.. i have come to the conclusion that we are at 200-250 warhead number.

Its not friends..but French.

Which means...UK got trolled.

That is not a confirmed,

I have heard both versions. Assemble on Extreme High Alert and Assemble after first strike.

The second option, doesnt make sense, since after the first strike of a China- Pakistan combo, there wont be much time left for India to assemble and strike back. Again, from what I know, Assemble takes about half a day to a full day. It just doesnt make sense. Minutes matter here.

Can you give me a link to 400 Kgs - 250Ktn weapon ?

We would require nearly 1000 warheads of 250Kt to ward off , Pakistan and China.

no its trying to infer that the 400kgs they talk about has a yied of 250kt..

the 250kt figure was quoted by an official some time back. putting 2x2.

I thought you saw me lifting my pinky to towards the food!

I dont think so. 250 should be more than enough.

Not necessarily, he might have been talking about a completely different weapon system all together than the Indian MIRV warhead of 400 Kgs

But, my gut agrees with you.

You have to factor in, first strike, duds, shelf life, accuracy etc Nuke war is about redundancy and reserves. There was a reason why Soviet Union and USA built more than 5000 nukes each, because they knew only 30% of it will actually work as planned.

India will not lose anything in first strike.. china and pakis = countervalue arsenal not counterforce

The guy is in the know of things..i think he is bang on the money. 400kgs for a fairly advanced warhead with a 250kt yield.

I dont understand your point of view here, China and Pakistan are first strike nations. Their obvious targets would be our national capital, C&C and Nuke installations, It would be idiotic to think, they wouldnt have intelligence on atleast some of our India's nuke arsenal positions.

First strike as in first use policy.. but the target will be Delhi, Mumbai, etc..not missile sites..we are have mobile missiles..no silos.
