To prevent our deterrent to be taken out in a first strike by the enemy, all our nukes are in component form and separate from the missiles that will deliver them. So the core of the nuke is separated from the trigger and if the decision to go nuclear is taken, then first the bomb has to be...

Its the ambiguity that adds to the deterrence value. Nobody is sure so be safe

Paki doctrine clearly says they will go nuke during a war if they lose considerable portion of their land or it's territorial integrity is at risk. Sundarjis doctrine calls for both.

I don't think so. India has only now post Op Parakram devised ways to fight a war with a nuclear backdrop. I don't think it was possible earlier. Cold star and Sundarjis are at opposite ends. Cold Start allows is to fight despite the low threshold of Pak Doctrine. Sundarjis call for breaking Pak...

:rofl: :rofl:

Possible. The low yield tests in 98 was to collect data. India also tested those with reactor grade plutonium and uranium to see if our abundant reactor grade fissile material can be weaponised.

Why? We don't need then. We have tested and confirmed our design. They are yet to test themselves. At best the US would have and that is a CT.

NPT got killed the day nuclear deal was worked out. It gave us rights to segregate our civilian and military reactors. Why does that say?

FTA works both ways. Their struggling economy needs us more. I just attended an exhibition in Bangalore today. One whole pavilion taken by Germans. They make a killing in India. They know India is and will be a great market. India is ready to sign FMCT. The west should settle for that...

There is no pressure to sign CTBT or NPT. NPT is as good as dead. Even the US is yet to ratify CTBT. The treaty in vogue these days is FMCT which India is perfectly comfortable to sign.

You can't do anything to those willing to kill their own men except pray. China is so scared of its people that it keeps bloating figures and building ghost cities and building an breaking and rebuilding to keep the economy going. Sorry I don't think the Chinese will accept anymore losses to...

I answered that in my earlier post. Is loss of 200,000 people acceptable to the Chinese?

The difference is the doctrine and understanding each others doctrines both nuclear as well as general war. Indian war doctrine as envisaged by Gen Sundarji called for massive thrusts and cutting Pakis into half and the nuclear doctrine was second strike no first use. Pakistan understood our...

Wrong context to my question. I am talking about something else.

PM me. Thanks.. Are you talking about deterrence during Kargil or right now as in current line of thinking? Western nations give the US the credit for Kargil than india, but then thats them.

Even a 200kt test would have hurt te population there that's why it was scaled down to 45kt. The only place we can test is Any uninhibited island on AnN or Lakshadweep but that is not an option as it will screw the environment.

Idiot, please accept the fact that India was deterred by Pakis threat of nuke to not cross the LoC.

China deterred the mighty soviet union with 12 bombs of 1 gen design. Something that pakis have and deter India with.

Saar you have completely "misrepresented" what power projection means. Carriers are definitely needed in war. MT test is a waste of money and precious fissile material.

Carriers are needed, MT warheads are not
