    India's military nuclear capability

    I don't know, please ask your India friends here. They are suggesting that.

    Because after reading your words, I think we perfectly match. Have a good day.

    India's military nuclear capability

    Certainly you can go smaller, but the problem is you have a much better option: thermonuclear bomb which will give you a far better coverage with far less cost. Let me say it again, I don't have inside information, I drew my conclusion based on public information. So far, your inside...

    India's military nuclear capability

    http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/indias-military-nuclear-capability.69442/page-4 After this glorious bomb was tested, Dr. Bryan Taylor said:” I thought that Orange Herald was a stupid device. It wasn’t elegant, it was a DEAD END DESGIN and COULDN’T BE TAKEN ANY FURTHER.” And they...

    India's military nuclear capability

    Which part are you talking about? This is only valid comparing to pure fission bomb. No, the purpose of these fast neutrons is to induce more fissile material to be involved in fission reaction before they are blow away. Again, the paper you provided says that 45% of fissile material will...

    India's military nuclear capability

    So, you just put the words in my mouth. Sorry, I was rushing to leave the office, didn’t think it through. Well, I think you are oversimplifying the issues need to be considered in the designing. 1. Boosted fission weapon is kind of upgrade of atomic bomb, of which the main yield still...

    India's military nuclear capability

    Please point out where I denied the existence of MR-41 in my words. I assume “Swan” is TN 75 warhead. I think only picking out the yield to weight ratio is misleading. Have a look of TN61 (second French H-bomb warhead entered in service 1977)- 1 MT/700kg, the yield to weight ratio is 1.42...

    India's military nuclear capability

    What kind of warhead will satisfy India’s demand to deter China is not what we discuss here. The question here is: does India have these warhead in service already? The paper you provide says: NO. I don’t know how this is relevant to our discussion. No, I am telling you, boost fission bomb...

    India's military nuclear capability

    So, you agree with my estimation of your India warhead. But according to the paperwork provided by you, these warheads, at the best, are still in the developing stage, waiting for the future tests. Certainly, France can, as proved by TN 75 warhead (230kg for 100-150kt). However, the whole...

    India's military nuclear capability

    Well, according to public information, the payload of Agni-3 is 1.5t. Generally, the MIRV bus weighs as much as the combined weight of all the warheads it carries. So, the bus of so called “MIRV” of Agni-3 should be around 750kg, leaves another 750kg for warheads. Then the 3x200kt or 10x25kt you...

    No, some of US/Russia's tactic H-bomb can be under 10kt.

    India's military nuclear capability

    Yes, you don’t need to test the same design again which was proved already. However, the main purpose of simulation is providing assistance in new design. Simulation is kind of summary of the existing knowledge about nuclear explosion, which is only gained through a series of real tests. By...

    India's military nuclear capability

    First time to hear such kind of category, very wired. I guess, it is your own interpretation or understanding. Did only 4 tests doesn't prove anything. Without a full scale nuclear test, how can you prove the accuracy of your simulation.

    India's military nuclear capability

    Different thing, can't say which is easier. In the case of nuclear weapon, everybody knows that India can make the weapon. But what kind of nuke? So far, the rest of the world doesn't think India has not prove her H-bomb design yet. No, they did once with South Africa.

    India's military nuclear capability

    Using the minimized explosion for simulation is an ordinary method for P5 to check existing weapon and design new weapon because all of them have collected enough data for their mathematics model and their models were all clarified in the full scale nuclear test. In the case of India, the...

    Let’s see: Physics honours degree from Presidency College; 1953 joined Atomic Energy Establishment; 1961-1963, studying nuclear physics at Arbonne National laboratory in Lamont From 1973, analysing of the cooperation between China and Pakistan From 1986 in DRDO, related to simulation...

    India's military nuclear capability

    I didn't say US uses radio nuclide to test yields in the case of Chinese test. What I said is US sent U2 to collect radio nuclide to analysis the material in Chinese nuclear bomb tested. It is not my theory, it was reported in Chinese military newspaper and Taiwanese paperwork. Thanks. I...

    India's military nuclear capability

    That is funny. It is you claiming that no one knows what material Chinese used. I pointed out that you are wrong: the world especially Americans know and U2s were sent to get the sample. You need to clear up your mind, my friend. Again, we are not discussing those Sub-Kiloton tests here...
