And there is also no hard and fast rule in any book in case of confirmed BM launch India may launch it simultaneously. As rule one says, when deterrent falls, India's deterrent would fall immediately when adversary launches a BM. Can you disagree with that? It is upto to the adversary that don't...

Bro how much times does it take for a missile to reach its destination, hardly 15 mins and if there is an alert then in those 15 minutes in the terminal stage it will be met with BMD and if that is missed then India will surely press the button. Whether after absorbing or before the total time...

You are correct, but my point is different. My point is, two countries have deployed the weapons and since most of the new missiles having range 500km to 1000km can be N tipped. India may press the button as a benefit of doubt on false alert. And same with the Chinese. So false alert may...

As per the document, Fall of deterrence happens When the adversary deploys the N tip then India's deterrence is fallen. And India deploys the N tip too. When adversary presses the button then Indian deterrence is fallen and wouldn't wait till it comes overhead, and India would press the button...

The new document also doesn't explain what is the thresh hold either, whether India would take a hit and then retaliate or just deploying the N tip till launch would be considered as strike. There is no formal definition to it. It's for various reasons under speculation. Even Menon had once...

What I wrote was, in the documents India says, ''India will not be first one to initiate a nuclear strike.'' @Chinmoy Initiation of nuclear strike means making a decision to press the button. But no where says that India will wait until it gets hit. So If Pakistan launches a BM and India tracks...

So this means a 250km range cruise missile capable of carrying a N tip can fool India in believing it to be conventional weapon and getting the hit. Pakistan may do it, China too. I believe now days the threat perception would be , even launching a nuclear capable CM could be confused with a...

What if a cruise missile is N tipped :drool:

In case China launches a missile at it's detected as BM. India will immediately deploy the BMD and carry out the retaliation. It's China and others to understand that launching any missile towards India can lead to nuclear war. And that's how escalations are prevented and that's what real...

1. NFU does not mean that India will wait to receive the hit, It only means INDIA WILL NOT PRESS THE BUTTON FIRST. If the systems track an incoming ballistic trajectory from a nuclear state, then India may or may not launch a nuclear strike depending on the political decision and benefit of...
