Pretty much proves MIRVs is cake walk for India.

Actually we're going to see some interesting developments maybe next year, its better to not discuss such topics here.

MIRV is focused on getting the war heads back to earth, while performing evasive maneuvers.

that is the difference.

Well, as far as the rocket goes it is pretty much similar. What gets war heads back to earth is RV. The technologies including restatable motor, bus design is very similar to multiple satellite launching.

Past usual assortment of butthurt trolls gathering (and going to gather) here....what will be key is ramping up actual production of the 200kt warheads (compared to developing the MIRV bus and any re-entry shielding specifics) as being the real "chokepoint" in the CMD strategy...given each system will dispense like 6 of them. Having a 100 or so (and who knows how many of those are actually 200kt ones) gets taken up pretty fast imo (and present more overall concentration intensity of the asset for 1st strike scenario)....I think India should aim around 300 - 500 long term as the total...so there is ample hedging and survivability for all delivery (triad) platforms.

Noted for due consideration about a decade back.
