This goes to the larger point of: just what is India's nuclear arsenal for? Minimum countervalue deterrence against a nuclear state? You do not need MIRV technology for that. MIRV technology is useful for counterforce strikes and, when placed in SLBMs, dealing with assholes at the Pentagon...

If you don't have good terminal guidance for MIRV warheads, your CEP increases dramatically; remember that doubling your CEP means you have to quadruple your radiation yield and increase 8x your blast yield for the same effect. What's more, a MIRV bus can only carry warheads of a set size or...

Where's your source for the 2500 km number? Coverage: 1,500–2,000 kilometres (930–1,200 mi) around Indian landmass Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I addressed the possible unavailability of GLONASS, GPS, and Beidou in my earlier post. There are two issues with IRNSS: 1) It's not ready yet, and it won't be until multiple satellites are in the air - a GPS receiver needs at least three points of reference to properly triangulate its...

MIRV requires more than just a launch vehicle that can hold multiple warheads/satellites. It requires warheads which are capable of independent target tracking with a combination of inertial/stellar/GPS sensors. Such targeting technology/infrastructure is likely the obstacle facing India...

Your nuclear submarine doesn't even have an operational nuclear reactor, and your fighter engine never even got off the ground... what's your point?

Given DRDO's track record with the Arjun, a likely timeframe for MIRV IOC is probably 2030...
