India prepares to face nuclear attacks, plans underground bunkers in major cities for protection against WMDs: Report

India is reportedly planning to create underground control rooms in major Indian cities that could secure data and communication against an attack using Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) such as nuclear, chemical and biological.
According to a report in ‘Sputnik’, Delhi Police has identified two locations in India’s national capital for the first phase of the initiative.
Quoting its sources in Delhi Police, the report says that senior officials and concerned departments are in the process of preparing the initial plan for setting up an underground data control room, which will be submitted for government approval soon.
“A recently held security review meeting discussed the necessity of secure data communication networks center. The idea is at an initial stage. We are preparing a detailed report then we would be able to share details only at a later stage,” a senior Delhi Police official was quoted as saying by ‘Sputnik’.
The report adds that the underground facility would be based on India’s indigenously developed ‘Reinforced Hardened Shelter’.
This system was developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) last year for protection of Indian Armed Forces from nuclear, chemical and biological attacks.
The underground facility would be capable of withstanding any radiation or thermal attack for up to seven days.

From Pakistani Journal Dawn:
ISLAMABAD: A new study indicates that India has sufficient material and the technical capacity to produce between 356 and 492 nuclear bombs.

Somebody tell these mororns that India has enough material even to make 1,000 nuclear warheads.

Now, case is different that we prefer it for civil energy and don't pull all efforts down to warfare unlike Pakistan who lags even after that.:rolleyes:

We are two decades ahead of Pakis in terms of nuclear tech, we have largest reseves of nuclear material and nuclears weapons can be produce in short period of time. We just publicised this. Those in same business are aware of the same.

Ahead in missile defense as well which they cannot afford, it's the next stage in deterrence after acquiring nukes.

They cant match up in terms of military or financial or manpower or depth. We too have already made them change their nuclear doctrine from minimum credible to all spectrum deteriance. Which means they want nukes on all possible delivery system including terrorist driving pickup with nukes or having nukes on their backpack.

These weapons dont have any economic value or usage and they only take out portion of GDP on non productive use. Making them bankrupt and their army and ISI getting totalitarian power at the expense of civilian.

If played smartly we can divide them. Always remembers Soviet Union got about 25000 nukes that didnt save it from disintegration. So nukes dont save or guarantee non division of country.

Coming back to topic at hand, last two sub kiloton tests we tactical nukes, one of them used unprocessed nuclear material. That means we can make thousands of tactical nukes.

Basically, at current stage, the missile defense tech is still far from mature, including American system.
And the trend is: it is lot easier and cheaper to keep missile tech ahead of BMD.

I'm glad that India has a nuclear triad.
- A nuclear powered aircraft carrier (Shtorm) with nuclear weapons launch capabilities and anti-aircraft weapons.
- Decked out with Eurofighter Typhoon or HAL FGFA with the ability to carry nuclear bombs
- And nuclear submarines, accompanied by anti-sub ships

I've always been supportive of using aircraft carriers as "portable bases", replacing traditional forts with fewer moveable ships. While the northern border of India keeps the army busy, the rest of India would be better off with the entire military merged into the navy.

This is why I call for greater integration between the external security forces of India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal (and maybe Bangladesh and Maldives too). It's virtually impossible for these countries to afford a military that's useful for anything other than internal security.

Speaking his mind on India's no first use policy on nuclear weapons, Parrikar said, “People say India has not first used nuclear concept. I should say that I'm a responsible nuclear power and I will not use it irresponsibly.”

“If written down strategy exists or you take a stand on a nuclear aspect, I think you're actually giving away your strength in

He's saying what is realistic. I didn't see the video but what is preventing China from joining a two front war between India and Pakistan. India has no hope of winning such a war without using nukes. China should be deterred from coming to the rescue of their sweeter than honey friend.
