‘I Saved My Country From Nuclear Blackmail’

Even without an agreement the Soviets would have supported India, it was implied. The Soviets needed a reason to fight the Chinese, any threat against India would have been the perfect excuse.

Let say, what you said is true.

The Soviets and the Americans knew exactly how many and where the Chinese nukes were hidden. The Soviets had them painted right from the start.

As for the Soviets, i'm unaware. But for the Americans i'm not sure.

Here is intelligence report as 1969 on Chinese nuclear weapons

Communist China's advanced weapons program

I don't see any accurate or confident estimates in there.

Do you honestly think the Soviets wouldn't share this information with the Indians.

Purpose being?


By going nuclear, do you really think India protected herself from a nuclear strike against US? You are forgetting one thing, the Americans had nukes that numbered in the triple digits. India acquiring nukes would not have made any difference in a full on shooting war against US.

One had to start somewhere, I find no reason for Indira Gandhi asking for an 8000km range ballistic missile then.

If the target was merely China, 2000-3000 Km missile ranges would have been sufficient.
 
OTOH India doesnt need nukes to win a war.Our cold start doctrine was enough for you guys to get scared and a special meeting was arranged by the Corp Commanders in GHQ.

The Cold Start Doctrine was abandoned before even it was implemented on the field. IA top brass realized that a doctrine such as this cannot be successfully executed by the likes of IA which is a third world Army. Cold Start from its inception was designed to mimic Desert Storm.

I think you are in a big disadvantage in a war anyways.You have such big plain land in Punjab and south of it where the IA Armoured corp can send waves and waves of tanks in and it would be very hard for you to stop them.

You do realize Armoured Warfare in Punjab would be plain suicide for IA. Punjab is full of canals, it serves as a natural barrier for advancing IA tanks and will be a real pain the a** for logistical/supply trucks. Battle would be much more fluid in the Thar Desert, this is why the cream of PA's Armoured Divisions are deployed over there :). Please show me how will the IA be able to send waves and waves of IA tanks, because looking at the number of modern tanks both sides can field, the numbers are not that off. Also considering that PA is quite well dug in defensive positions, IA will have to take a lot of attrition before it will be engaged by PA tanks. Anyways, your more than welcome to change my view with facts and logic instead of a fanboy wish list.

I believe nukes are essential for you country's survival.

They indeed are. Gives us an insurance policy that in case we go down, we will make sure that we take you down along with us.
 
Dr khan was honest enough, when he said this about Pakistan: " India doesn’t need more than five weapons to hurt us badly, and we wouldn’t need more than 10 to return the favor. That is why there has been no war between us for the past 40 years."

So, what is more to say!?

Firstly,What is Cold Start?(acc to you?)

I wanna say this in the most politest manner possible that had you even an iota worth of knowledge what cold start exactly means then you would know it is already taking shape.I will give you an example..6 years ago every Corp in the IA used to go in excercise once every 3-4 years but it is changed now.You will see every major corp going for excercise every year.Excercises are taking place every now and then...and they are trying to perfect what cold start is.

In the age of UAVs,SAT imagery and advanced attack copters connected by data links to uavs and tank formation..you are telling me that PA is well dug out?
 
Trying to project yourself again reread your comments and see how backward thinking and apologistic you are, this has nothing to do with another thread, read your childish comments on this thread, the discussion in other threads continues there.
You indians seem to be very scared of china, and try to vent it on Pakistan, do not make that mistake, or some natural disaster will hit you so badly that you will never recover.

We are not as scared of China as you are of India..Like i said before we dont pull out the nuclear card on being threatened for a war by the Chinese.

Just because i dont agree with your comments makes me backward and apologistic then i am really happy to be so.

Regarding natural disaster..well anything can happen anywhere...If you were mature then you wont have posted such a useless comment.
 
The world knows what nuclear deterrence is Mr.Khan. The question is why did you sell your nuclear secrets to unstable nations for paltry sums? were you not happy with the honors and love given by your people? why do you have to act like a cheap sh*t, there by singlehandedly making the world a much more dangerous place?

woh, woh woh, totally retarded comment, cant match this level, nobody can
 
Firstly,What is Cold Start?(acc to you?)

A modern mechanized warfare launched simultaneously by 'Integrated Battle Groups', advancing on planned axis of movements to attack and capture preplanned destinations. Use of IBG's along with air assets to overwhelm and destroy the enemy. Basically, the CDS is a new name for the Air-Land Battle Strategy NATO invented in the early 80's and executed it to perfection during Desert Storm. A very ambitious goal i might say for the likes of India, but you have to keep in mind NATO is a first world army with a first world officers core. IA simply does not has the number and quality of officers that are required to execute this doctrine, while the lower cadre of IA unlike NATO's is not capable enough to execute orders due to their constraints (literacy, training, exposure etc).

I wanna say this in the most politest manner possible that had you even an iota worth of knowledge what cold start exactly means then you would know it is already taking shape.I will give you an example..6 years ago every Corp in the IA used to go in excercise once every 3-4 years but it is changed now.You will see every major corp going for excercise every year.Excercises are taking place every now and then...and they are trying to perfect what cold start is.

I know exactly what CDS is, i have studied it quite thoroughly. I have had discussions in detail in the past with other senior Indian members whose knowledge far exceed yours.

IA performing Corps size exercises itself defeats the entire premise of CDS, you are just contradicting yourself. The purpose of CDS is to perform brigade level operations, and not at Corps level. Also the exercises that i have witnessed and read thoroughly about, there is no indication that CDS has been implemented on the field yet. IA is still exercising at Corps Level and is planning attrition warfare simulations and not deep battle of annihilations, that itself indicates that there are no exercises planned for brigade or division levels.

In the age of UAVs,SAT imagery and advanced attack copters connected by data links to uavs and tank formation..you are telling me that PA is well dug out?

And how exactly are these assets going to take out PA's defences? Please give me a detailed scenario in this regard.

You are talking as if PA itself is not data linked to all her other situational awareness assets. The basic flaw behind your argument is that everything IA will put it into the battlefield will automatically crush whatever PA will throw at them. Thats a very faulty premise, and i know for a fact this premise is not something that a professional Army like IA subscribes to. Pakistan's situational awareness is almost as good as India, infact when it comes to live reccon its even better than that of India's. US supplied DB110 reccon pods are the most advanced in the world and can look deep into India to get a real time live picture. The access India has to SAT imagery is not live time, and PA/PAF are fielding an army of UAV's.
 
So you recognise that you are contradicting yourself by saying " we wanted a tool which would dramatically reduce our vulnerability to nuclear blackmail so we developed nukes". Pakistan did the exact same thing, so why criticise in first place.
I think one should not have discussions with Indians on this forum, they are showing much too often how backward they minds are underdeveloped!

i am not contradicting as i have not criticized pak's decision of developing nukes

my post was to explain why India developed nukes
 
It seems pakistan has had no difficulty in getting delivery system ..three four years !! Thats pretty quick .. But apart from a.q.khan i havent heard many name of pakistani scientists ..
 
:lol: Complete BS initially followed by replies to comments from two threads.(i didnt know you were a kid)Dont mix stuff here...reply to that comment in Muslim military might thread and regarding being followed..i dont give a damn about it to be honest.




If they were so important for our existence then we wont have a "no first use policy" and the first reaction of Indians on war would be "lets nuke them"

Have you ever seen any Indian say we will nuke China when the Chinese members threaten us of war....and this is the difference between us.

because we have confidence that we can defend ourselves even if we don't use nukes
 
It seems pakistan has had no difficulty in getting delivery system ..three four years !! Thats pretty quick .. But apart from a.q.khan i havent heard many name of pakistani scientists ..

Dr. Munir Ahmad and Dr. Samar Mubarak Mand

They are the real chief architects behind Pakistan's nuclear program, Dr. AQ Khan's part was only related to the acquisition of centrifuges.
 
Another khan "master of u turn". just a few days ago his statement was: i had admit all blames to save my life,else Musharaf had hanged me"
please read the profile of dr abdul qadeer khan at wikepedia. Pakistan nuclear program had run paralleled at two venues .
1. Dr. qadeer lab at kahuta( AQ Lab)
2. Pakistan atomic Energy commission ( PAEC)
Mr any one can edit Wikipedia first of all yes he admitted because of Musharraf because the blames which were put on him can't done without government support
 
I dont know about Pakistan but in India there is a significant amount of tanks around the borders and launching an assault will not take more than a few hours.(i am talking of Punjab border)

really? can you tell me the battalions that in punjab close to the border in peace time? only hours away from an attack? because clearly in peace time they cannot be deployed there.
