That means world have accepted our nuclear power status, without blocking our capacity to make bombs.
Personally i doubt we need more than 100 weapons, why spend all money on weapons we may never use. That's why I feel we are going slow on warhead numbers...
Pakistan on other hand knows India can leap frog with breader reactors.. so Going all out from now itself..
Yes the world has accepted India as a nuclear weapons state , how do you know or anyone knows how many warheads we have . Does anyone outside of our strategic sector know our military fissile material the clear answer is no. The 100 warhead nonsense that is been peddled is for the common man to be happy that India has only 100 warheads and Pakistan has more LoL .
See we make enough fissile material to make as high as 100+ warheads EACH YEAR without compromising our electricity needs but that doesn't mean we convert all the fissile material into warheads maybe only 10 % or 20 % who knows or it may be so that we are converting all of them into warheads also possible.
Ok what i am going to say is not hyperbole or fanboy stuff we can make as much as 300 warheads PER YEAR but our reactors will not generate much electricity and our refueling machines will have problem and provided we have enough reprocessing capacity.
Why we need to make more warheads because our warheads are very small compared to China's . We can make 200kt to 250 kt warheads max but chinese can make upto 5 MT so 10 warheads of India is equal to one large yield warhead of China . US and Russia have even bigger warheads. Don't equate our warheads with China's or US's or Russia's or Britain's or France's they have much better warheads , get out of this non violence mediocrity that infects us Indians.
The only good thing is that Pakistan is lower yield warhead than India's .
