Not really .. u dnt drop nuclear bombs on grasslands and forest or unpopulated mountains . Places ll be cities and high value targets like 3 gorge dams and other dams which can engulf multiple cities with high manufacturing powers .
Some nuclear bombs will get destroyed on ground in an actual war. Some will be shot down. There is a reason why USA keeps around 6000 nukes. All nukes will never find their target.

However a force of 1500 nukes is very expensive. Expense is maintaining firing platforms as well as providing security.

I think we ll use agni 5 for most target whose terminal velocity is 24mac .. I am not sure but i think thats even above pay grade of s400 which is deployed in beiging . Unless s400 can engage at exo atmospheric level which prithivi can do .

Not pics from that specific tweet, i mean you put TATA WhAp or Kestrel in google image search or news, you get pretty much the same vehicle with a BMP2 turret on top.
DRDO WhAp and Kestrel look to be the same thing

We have enough fissile material to make close to around 2500 to 3000 warheads on a short notice.
