As far as my understanding goes, big nukes are just fancy but not that potent weapons tactically. 10 50kt bombs will be much more devastating than single 1Mt bomb. India should definitely try to build bigger bombs but also try to have a bigger arsenal as that matters more for credible defence...

That perfectly explains why Chinese are shit scared of Indian nukes!!

Read this for a good summary: http://yugaparivartan.com/2016/01/15/are-nukes-over-rated-in-indo-pak-war/ In the backdrop of Pathankot attack, it becomes important to think about Pakistan’s nuclear program because Pak’s nuclear bluff stops India from taking any concrete actions against it. Nukes...

I think the whole point on this thread is to look at it from a realistic perspective in Indo-Pak war. Nukes are bad and can kill many people, there is no surprise about it. But it is not apocalyptic like in US-USSR scenario and seen in that context. Btw, all these damages will be significantly...

Yeah..yeah. whatever! Look 50 cent stop defending the indefensible. There are many ways to kill people, you do not have to go and publicly murder someone. Denying food grains to people is a very legitimate way to kill people. It is not as if China could not have got enough food to feed its...

So 10 millions is ok? Shameless barbarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong In contrast, critics consider him a dictator comparable to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin who severely damaged traditional Chinese culture, as well as a perpetrator of systematic human rights abuses who was...

It is funny to hear lessons about civility and peace from barbarians, whose founding fathers killed some 40-50 million in peace time!!

Actually nukes are not harmless. India should send some to Beijing when it sends love to Rawalpindi. Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

Yes. Mr 2 cents! China is super prepared for everything!

20 years would be too small a time period if it is due to radiation. But because most of the radiation is spread over a larger area and hence does not affect any place too much.

That was a personal rather than a scientific account. You should look at the graph in third post to check the time of decay. Pressure is important but I think that will only impact the area of direct impact where the explosion will result into the crater. But that would be an immediate impact...

Satellites are much more costly to launch than firing 100 ballistic missiles. So we would stick with latter!

We actually do not need much Russian support at this point in time. We are no longer weak like in '71 that we needed USSR's backing. China cannot do much against India either. They have much to lose in all out war against us. Also, thanks Himalayas!

They could do nothing against Russia, which is a export heavy natural resource funded economy. India would be hardly affected by economic sanctions. Also, I think the war itself will be over in two weeks before these countries can agree on what to do. It should be like Crimea annexation- fast...

Covertly- very difficult. You can kill some engineer or some scientists. It is never possible to take out the whole program. Overtly- politically difficult because GoI does not have the will to do it. But the point is given long term benefits, it is probably the best time to go for...

Question is how much will these countries help Pak? We have seen US helplessness in Syria and Ukraine. If India is determined, these countries can do nothing. Also not to forget, India is not a very open economy. It is a domestic demand driven country and there would not be huge fallbacks if...

Imagine how many objectives we can achieve at this point. 1) De-nuclearize Pak 2) Wrestle back PoK - Get direct access to Afghanistan and help the national govt. there if they need it - Destroy Chinese plans to go to Gwadar through PoK I do not think India will get such a good chance again in...

Looking forward into future, two things are going to happen: 1) Pak's arsenal will grow 2) Pak's delivery mechanism will become better 1) does not matter as long as they do not have delivery system. To counter 2) we will develop better missile defence system. But the threat will not be...

In war situation a few mistakes might happen and a few Nasr might also land up in India. What I wanted to show through this thread is that the world will not come to an end if few such bombs are dropped on India. This nuclear bluff needs to be called out as it will change our military doctrine...

Where would they send Nasr? To Amritsar and let half the radioactive material fall in Pak!! It is high time to slap Pakis tight and call out this nuclear bluff. Probably ABV did a big mistake in Kargil in not crossing the border and pounding the Pakis from behind and cut their supply chains in...
