India is already mining Uranium in increased pace. There is no need for any secret space station. Also, India has its own set of reactors that are capable of running on Indian uranium. India can produce the required amount of warheads from these reactors. Each GW plant requires 160ton of natural...

Doctrines are nothing more than lip service. There is no need to tell anyone the number of nuclear warheads to anyone. India might just as well have 20000 warheads and still keep quiet

Andaman has nothing to do with China. The closest path to China from it is 3500km. Also, sending a BM over MYanmar or Thailand may not be a reasonable idea. Nukes are mostly used for civilian targets as military targets are more robust and won't get harmed by nukes unless they are direct hit...

Actually, BMD, deterrence and MAD come under same topic. BMD is for deterrence and preventing MAD. About nukes being launched at random landmass,the whole point of nukes is to destroy civilian centres. The BMD cover is likely to be in every big centre. Unless the idea is to bomb some village in...

China wanted security for their oil imports. Destroying India is out of question. India technically owns IOR by virtue of its size and peninsula structure Give me a source to say that NSA said that Chinese intention was to destroy India

There is no law in warfare. If Indian leadership are good people, then they will act preemptively. If it is filled with foreign agents like congress, they will do as bad as possible BPI is extremely difficult. Mid course intercept is another thing and can be done. USA has no need for boost...

Are you sure that it is not simulated tests? In simulation, the incoming warhead is only an imagination in the electronic minds of the system. You simply disconnect the radar and instead feed in the simulation which will then be used to fired the missile. Since you know the exact coordinates at...

You are expecting a launch of AAD missile vertically from Su30? The missile has to be launched vertically as it moves up initially. The incoming ballistic missile may be too high in the air and one has to wait for it to re-enter and then shoot AAD at the re-entry point. So, Su30 makes little...

What is slow and steady? How will you make slow and steady gains? Slow and steady works when things go by natural forces. When artificial forces are involved, it must be blitzkrieg. Pakistan can't be made bankrupt as the oil money from GCC goes to Pakistan's upkeep. Pakistan itself may not have...

We are capable of defeating and destroying Pakistan completely today as well as tomorrow. We seek the best path for the next 100-200 years rather than immediate solution. Acquiring imported items will only help in minimum deterrence, not actual capability. So, Pakistan is not going to get...

Today's launch has been a milestone in Indian BMD launch. The launcher has been canisterised with 6 missile per launcher. Each missile weighs 1.2ons. So, total weight of launcher is likely in the range of 15-20 tons. Here is today's launch from canister: Credits: Saurav Jha

It is that Pakistan is backed by oil suppliers. So, we have to balance between the benefits of oil supply by tolerating little bit of Pakistani nuisance versus the benefits of getting peace by destroying Pakistan and getting oil supply cut off. Since oil is limited, it is better to wait for oil...

Another important thing to note - Canisterisation of AAD. Earlier it was this:

Only those interceptors which are capable of shooting down warhead mid air and not in terminal phases can be placed near borders. Only USA has that till now - GMD and that is because of multiple radars on the pacific islands to detect the incoming missile. India has no such radar across Pakistan

AEGIS is not reliant on ships but on islands. India has no island. Ships are temporary but Islands are permanent, large and can be used as a decent and strong airbase. The islands should be located in a series of points which are linear as well as in the same line as the suspected enemy state...

Even if anyone detects a launch, in say, Quetta of Pakistan, India will not be able to send any missile to there before 5-10 minutes as missiles are not lasers. They take time to travel

The range of Ballistic missile increases with speed. High speed interception is difficult. Interception of Prithvi missile is at about 5Mach. I the speed is higher, interception will be difficult

This is the video of recent BMD test. The thermal imaging video shows the date (in this case- Dec2017).

This is a video of testing in 2013, not recent one. You can see that in the thermal video screen where it is written - Nov2017

I have posted a video of 2kT atom bomb several times in this forum. The video shows that it is not really devastating. So, a 100kT nuke can definitely be intercepted with 2kT nuke. The shockwave will throw the incoming missile off course and make it hit some wrong target
