Isn't it funny how the British subs are equipped with American ICBMs?
Nope.
when you question brits and yankees on this... their answer is:
We both have a mutual agreement just before the UN came into existance.Same goes with Manhattan nuclear project where nuke designs were shared by both countries.
UK buys reactors from US
UK leases Trident missiles from US
UK buys Tomahawk nuclear cruise missiles from US
UK design nuclear warheads with US
Both US and UK over ride the MTCR and NPT using their own treaties and got away with an waiver.
If India-Russia can prove that there exists a similar treaty between India-USSR(Russia current heir of USSR),then India was obligated to get all ICBM and warhead tech from Russia(with some cost after all
)
This fake agreement will put a dent on many countries foreign policies including west and china.(But India really dont care about the ICBM and TN tech which it has(atleast on paper ,say
))
Why India rests on safe side? It was that friendship treaty signed by India and USSR during those Indira days and was recently modyfied and renewed with much secured phrasings. though this wasnt published in media,Russia reserves the right to attack any agressor that attacks India.With such an ally,why would india need to waste money on its own nukes and ICBMs? Like NATO countries being dependant on US
If US,UK nuclear and missiles exchange is not a proliferation, then INDO-Russian is certainly not (lol......these leases and buyings were bound by agreements of mutual interests)
