    India's military nuclear capability

    Come on man. You are the uncoordinated fellow who posts the images from your work/whatever, of the travel bills accounting for Joseph and you call me out on reliability of information. Is it not obvious that you will progressively require lesser and lesser weight in the explosive lense as you...

    India's military nuclear capability

    Off course Orange Herald was a dead end design. You could not go any further. But you can go smaller in size and numerous in count. That way certainly exits and gives a better coverage on the ground-zero. And let me say again the insider information I have is the same as you do and the rest of...

    India's military nuclear capability

    I am ignoring the parts of your reply that do not make sense to me right now. You can ask for doubt/clarifications/inputs etc again should you feel the need to. I am addressing the parts that are actually related and can be answered with the information in the public domain. See the MR-41 was...

    India's military nuclear capability

    You can put words in the mouth of our researchers but have trouble in us doing that to you? Boosting will have to be played off against the savings in lens weight and space and it should work well till 50-200 KT. Fusion itself is about release of enough fast neutrons and nothing to do with...

    India's military nuclear capability

    Isn't if obvious that people hide things by not acknowledging the facts & instead hiding from them. People do not expressly deny the uncomfortable facts - that's basic instinct. Be that as it may, how the hell can Swan by TN-71. Isn't it obvious that Swan cannot be TN-71 !!?? Don't I speak...

    India's military nuclear capability

    So you finally admit to existence of MR-41 which was a 60s technology. Now the Yield to Weight Ratio for MR-41 works out to 0.71. There is no practical way to exceed the limit of about 8kt per kg of U-235. So the MR-41 even at the most efficient would have consumed at least 62.5 kg of WgPu. I...

    India's military nuclear capability

    No, I think I am helping you reach a conclusion. We don't need thermonukes to deter China. Boosted fission which you already concede works flawlessly is more than enough for all the 'China needs' that we may have ever. Also that piece of research was by somebody who besides being knowledgeable...

    India's military nuclear capability

    Following is a widely known comment by an Indian Minister of State for Defence: The newspaper link, given by the author is wrong/dead, but you can rest assured this actually was said. And my expectation is 100 kg for the 20-25 kt warheads and 250 kg for the 150-200 kt warheads. Please note...

    India's military nuclear capability

    There is no need for 'strong simulation program' to ensure deterrence. Agni-3 and upwards are designed for 3x200kt or 10x25kt. While a true megatoner is not there but the area destruction will be the same.

    India's military nuclear capability

    Do you remember the Red Mercury? I think some countries with no indigenous capabilities actually tried that route. There is a reason why all the NWS have huge establishments (BARC is 10000 scientists+engineers+designers) and yet it takes years. Chinese operations are several times bigger than...

    India's military nuclear capability

    And how do you know that the blueprints are not designs for a self-immolation bomb. You really believe deep in your heart that something useful can be found for free merely because hawa pani free mein mil gaya. Nuke designs bhi muft ka mal hi hote honge.
