Large warheads are not needed when the ultimate goal is mirv's.

We may also be testing on supercomputers?

Israel would be a better testing partner

The best move India made was placing the Fast Breeder reactors on the military side.

Even better test and delay signing anything until we feel like it. The US nuclear deal is in limbo we have not been given NSG membership or Uranium from a western source. We lose little to nothing.

This is hard to answer Yusuf. I think they value their cities/economy more than people. 2 good examples relocating 10 million people during dam construction on Yangtze and Mao killing 30 million of his own people. If a nuclear with China exchange were to escalate what is plan B for India?? The...

What is the credibility against Chinese Megaton nukes or their neutron or hydrogen bombs?? 600 IRBM's are pointed at India from Tibet. You have a false sense of security if you think we have reached credibility. For a population of 1.2 billion people our deterrence is minimal at best.

"Should India have tested a Megaton warhead during Pokran" Of the five warheads tested during Pokran should one of them have been a megaton warhead? Give your opinions and why?

This is the second time in a week an official has declared the no first use policy. Any good news on horizon?? AGNI MIRV test??

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article1543900.ece External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna on Wednesday asserted that there would be no revision of India's no-first-use nuclear doctrine and said minimum credible deterrence would be maintained in view of threats and challenges. In his...

Bull almost all of the testing by nations will be done almost exclusively by supercomputers,same for India.

I agree with Bull a neutron bomb would be a better weapon to use, it would have the devastation of a nuke without the fallout; something we have not even discussed in this use of nukes by 2 countries so close to each other. In the nuke deal we got to choose where our reactors are on in the...

Indian scientist claim our BMD to be 97% effective. cruise missiles with nuclear warheads would require miniturization technology that pakistan does not have.

that is what we have been discussing ;should we accept the possibility of having one nuke drop by keeping this policy? I personally feel it's unacceptable, but many have expressed the reasons for having it well, and in a practical sense in our current situation it fits nicely and any changes can...

any use of nukes by Pakistan will guarantee their destruction.

I don't agree NSG during Kargil both had nuclear weapons and none were used though the threat remained.

the latest threat to use nukes came from the delusion that we will stop the water flow from Indus water treaty to pakistan, this is a non military scenario where pakistan is willing to use nukes.

very true but any disagreement brings up this threat from the pakistani side, then play the victim and run to the international arena and try to make india look like the aggressor in the disagreement.

views very well expressed by all the participants.

interesting point Sabir just reviewing the no first use poliy has a psychological impact.
