of course you can, but you have to shoulder the consequences as well. that 's why US have to ask permittion from Russia,UK,China... etc before mounting converntional warheads on BMs. guess what, she got nothing but "No"s, no one wants to cross that red line and trigger a nuclear war accidentally.
Wow. and where you get your information from? what ever you have heard about this subject please kindly leave it behind and listen to some credible information.
Perior to 2008 French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle use to carry live nuclear warheads! its a freaking "AIR CRAFT CARRIER"! i am not going to emphasize on that every nuclear power country carries nukes on their platforms but all i have to say when the situation arise for any country they are going to make it dam sure that their nuclear weapons are deployed!
in case of pak-indo... i too agree that in peace time both of their side wont carry around nuclear weapons under normal circumstances but like i have said before it wont take much time in tense situation to do so..
what classification is irrelevant. as long as they are nuclear powered, they are fast and have the energy to power up all the equipments on board as long as they wished.
You do not know of what you are talking about. nuclear powered submarines do not necessarily means they are the best subs in the world! you can have a nuclear powered sub from 60s and get toasted by average 21st century diesel sub. you have to be spesific about which sub you are talking about. you can not win arguments about nuclear powered subs based on technicality of superior US nuclear submarine and say indian or chinese nuclear subs are one of the best in the world.
another thing. like black tiger has said above..
submarines prefer to remain quiet, because their strength lies in stealth once that is compromised then they can be easily destroyed,
in your case running indian/chinese nuclear powered subs on top speed will result in increase of its acoustic signature and detection of the sub.
low/high frequency active sonar or even midium frequency ones whose feed back data are perfect to be used in underwater image processing.
and?
well, i suppose we are talking about an one on one scenario. a system confrontation would be quite different of course, and i'm sure you will figure out a best system to match the enemies.
to be precise Type-214 vs Arihant....
prove me wrong plz. "officially 'greater than 5 miles' " is the wiki data.
"WIKIPEDIA" and thats were everything gets wrong
