Prithvi missiles to be replaced by more-capable Prahar: DRDO

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Yes good question ?

i beleive it depends upon what degree of miniaturization of nuclear warhead india has achieved .Pakistan is rumoured to have tactical nukes .lets see can india do that for Prahar .

If india do that for prahaar ,it going to be an important asset for India's CSD

CHEERS

not rumoured boy... we tested them few years back remember "Nasr" or Victory missiles... as for miniature nukes.... does india even have any...

India should build miniature nukes for prahar to counter tactical nuke threat from pakistan. How difficult it is to built a miniaturized nuke ?

It's not that difficult DRDO already had been working on such a program for more than a decade. INS ARIHANT is some what related with miniturising small nukes in missiles.

India must have small tactical nukes. India has a highly developed nuclear program with our capabilities ranging from thermonuclear weapons to plasma physics to nuclear submarines to fast breeder reactors etc. We are working on nuclear propulsion for space rockets.

I think we already have that as we're developing MIRV tech for A-5 which will be ready and might be tested within 1 year.so,without tactical nuke,whats the usage of MIRV???and its quite understandable as we've a long history of nuclear research and India showed its capability to develop miniaturized nuke during Pokhran II..so,it is quite logical if I say yes,we've them.

a good article on it...

You are foolish. India is not in defensive position which required tactical nukes & India has advance nuclear technology then they miniaturized the nukes easily but India want reason to pound his megaton nukes

do I need to say more ?

North's missiles tied to Musharraf blunder | The Japan Times

Thank you for trolling...now worry about the fusion material theft from ur nuclear plants please..

Did you guys test mini warheads? can you post some reading material, would like to know more about this

Sir are you really tht foolish to claim tht the tactical nukes were used in pokhran ? As for MIRV... are you sure MIRVs use tactical or miniature nukes with very small nuclear yields? if so than i guess the idea of MIRV is flawed... tactical or miniature nukes have very small nuclear yield... for example NASR is to be used against advancing enemy divisons ... and not "cities or towns"... as for Pakistani MIRV who knows...... or should i say rumours... although an SLV is a reality..

Sir Nasr is TNW capable missile with a range of 60 Kms...

I know about the short range battlefield missile, I was wondering if Pakistan unofficially tested any miniaturized warhead, any speculation that states any such thing...
p.s dont call me sir, we have slugged it out quite a few times in the past....

Well many international sources are reporting them as miniature or tactical nukes... unofficial... not tht i know off... but a 60Km nuclear capable missile would certainly use a miniature .. unless PA wants to nuke themselves?

So there the tactical warhead is still conjecture at this point of time....

Not really... why would they develop a missile if they didnt have one present... and why would they keep conducting tests and improvements time and again...

You idiot! Tactical nuke would give an additional option to armed forces whether go full scale nuke war or use a tactical nuke to counter tactical nuke. It wouldn't harm DRDO If they build low number of tactical Nukes just in case we need them in certain situations.

Having a missile and having tactical miniaturized nuke warheads are two different things.
