What's new

Indian nuclear inventory as per Bullitin Atomic

agni series only has two opration missile. agni 1 and agni 2. agni 3 is technology demostrator. agni 4 was big fail. agni 5 will take dacade to develop.

k series is pipe dream. no missiles are developed. nor does india has submarin for k missile.

all you hear in indian media is indian gov propaganda and lies.

so poor india is big fail in missiles.



vedic holy cow technology.



indian missiles are very ugly looking.


pakistan also has nukes on cruise missiles but indians don't.
U expart on missile tuchnologhy. Haw many ICBMS u make daily ? U no fire one for us to see? U tell haw this warks...
 
During IDEAS 2006 Exhibition it was officially written as 350 Km.

So Pakistan government was lying about real range of missile:

That poster/information on the left (with the red weapon) is of Ra'ad-I ALCM, which always had a range of 350km.
 
@OT,

India seems to have abandoned the defensive nuclear posturing since around 2010, after what seems to be a major policy shift. Indian military command now believes in not using nukes merely for deterrence, but for fighting a comprehensive nuclear war on multiple levels, just like Pakistan.

Since then, India has rapidly evolved its nuclear weapons-related infrastructure at breakneck speed. At least half a dozen new nuclear weapons storage sites have been spotted in Indian states along Pakistani border and at major Naval bases. Thats why we now see ex- and present Indian officials suggesting abandonment of the NFU and preemptive decapitation strikes. (not so) Surprisingly, there seems to be almost no activity against China in this regard.

This sets a very dangerous precedent for the future of the subcontinent.
 
Both india and pakistan isn't nuclear power house anymore,i agreed both have nukes. But see what kim did recently,demonstrated a working thermo nuclear device.
true north korea has 150kt thermo nuclear weapons but poor india only has 40kt faild imposion nuke.

Good, good. That's called 'reciprocity'. :)

No, its not about the number or yield of nukes. Both Pakistan and India already have enough to decimate each other, but Pakistan needs more because of the larger size of India (similarly India needs less). Thats why Pakistan will always have a higher number.

The issue here is deployment and nuclear weapon usage strategies. Pakistan's strategy has always been mostly counter-force, whereby Pakistan would use smaller (~10kt) nukes to disable military targets, and larger ones for cities if needed. In effect, the conventional superiority of India was balanced by Pakistan's nuclear weapons deployment superiority. This was because of a highly robust command and control, secure storages and mobile launchers. Pakistan's SFC has on multiple occasions exercised the use of nuclear weapons under war-like simulated scenarios.

India's strategy on the other hand was minimal and defensive. If nuked, Indian would nuke Pakistani cities and game-over. However, the state of deployment and robustness was pretty abysmal. IIRC, Indian SFC has never exercised off the Wheeler Island, there used to be only 1 Pakistan-specific hardened nuclear weapons base, similarly the command and control structure is not dedicated and robust. This thing is now changing, with the increase of hardened nuclear weapons storages from 1 to 7, and of nuclear air-bases from 0 to 12 (9 Pakistan-specific). This sort of infrastructure is a concern for us, because preemptive nuclear decapitation strikes are now possible for India.
Good, good. That's called 'reciprocity'. :)
If reciprocity was stabilizing for the region, I would be really glad. India's conventional superiority was balanced by Pakistan's nuclear deployment superiority.

A region with one sane and one insane neighbor is survivable. Two insane neighbors?
You better pack your bags.
