You sound like a movie character.What happens if we are faced with a massive annihilation by 120 nukes v/s say an attack by 20-30 nukes??
If we are faced with an inevitable nuclear conflict, do we take all their hits before counter attacking and in the process get destroyed, or do we strike first, and reduce the number of nukes attacking us by 70-80%?
General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless *distinguishable*, postwar environments: one where you got twenty million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty million people killed.
President Merkin Muffley: You're talking about mass murder, General, not war!
General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.
Keeping the nuclear doctrine clear is a deterrent in itself, countries armed with nuclear weapons as per data available do not go to war. use of proxies is what is resorted to . Americans & Russians have never gone to war against each other despite grave provocation.THE game will be played through the nuclear triad,by India

Sea &
Air
Marrying the nuclear warhead to the missile on orders of the controlling authority will be the crunch issue,
I am sure these scenarios have been war gamed. What we need is prior info of their arming the nukes. ( to be continued)
