We need something akin to SBRIS constellation of US Space Force. That will give us missile launch warnings. After that we could also try to build a boost-phase interceptor for talking out Pakistani nukes. Right now (AFAIK) our early warning is non-existent and only the LRTR 3 will be able to...

Both links are giving me "page not found" 🙁

Just imagine us passing them the message over the hotline that our Deadman's Hand is active and unless our guy in The Bunker presses the keys to delay the countdown again, the nukes will fly. Xi would $hit his pants.

:rofl: SuSu is highly unlikely. Most likely it will be a Cabinet Minister from Defence/Finance/Home Affairs ministries. But again, its not predefined. That is a problem.

Not that I know of. Maybe the Cabinet members and ruling party can decide, but its not codified like it is for the Americans.

After that its the NCA Bunker or Aircraft and countdown option that would act as an ARS. Oh, did you mean a submarine could act as a NCA Bunker?

How? The launch signal will be given by the Prime Minister. He could be in a bunker or flying in a Command Post Aircraft like the E-4. He can't be in a submarine.

Never knew this existed. Its a good idea, but not enough for everything. ERCS launchers could get taken out by enemy nukes. This is a much better option. Since NCA funding is from PMO, Defence Budget shouldn't be the issue here. We should have a fleet of Airborne Command Posts as well as...

I remember @porky_kicker once mentioning something about India's own Deadman's Hand type system in service or being developed for the Nuke submarines. Our nuclear posture has already changed from the earlier days when we used to store warheads de-mated from the missiles. Now we have officially...

Its a good idea to have a system where the leadership can activate a countdown. The countdown will be actively reset before it reaches ZERO by the leadership till either the final decision to launch is made or till the leadership gets decimated. If it reaches ZERO, the countdown should send the...
