The plutonium is the first stage of the bomb. If you add a secondary stage with uranium casing and deuterium fuel, you can make thermonuclear bomb of any size by increasing size of secondary stage.I'm still wondering. 6-7k bombs of which size? 500kT blast yield or 50kT?
Since the items used in secondary stage - natural uranium and hydrogen isotopes (deuterium) are abundant, we consider only the plutonium to calculate number of bombs. Unless one is using a single staged bomb, the plutonium requirement for a bomb is fixed and the explosive power is determined by 2nd stage variation.
Testing is important. Regardless of who thinks what, it is important to validate. If anyone thinks any other way, it is his problem. Missile testing is not a political posturing if the missile under development is not already a validated Technology. Development trials are not political postures but necessity.I'm saying again. The period of direct belligerence is what induces you to posture. Indo Western relationship for whatever reasons is still not that hot. Testing a global range ICBM sends unnecessary hostile message.
It should be tested when tensions elevate
In war, it is the civilian population who will fight. The standing army is only for contingency in peacetime. During big scale war, civilian population will be recruited enmasse as we saw in WW2 or Vietnam war.I guess total firepower matters here and not population. Obviously people aren't going to fight by swords, wait common people aren't going to fight. These are militaries
