'After 2001 Parliament attack, India deployed nuclear missiles on border'

[Hobo1]

The entity to the east and it's deep state need to realize that Pakistan retains the ability with it's conventional and WMD's to punish very heavily any misadventure. Nuff said.

A cruise missile flying at mach .7 can easily be intercepted. But what is yr response for BrahMos with BrahMos 2(speed mach 7) all ready tested.

I am not a nuclear scientist but...

The most widely accepted estimates of India's plutonium production have been made by David Albright ([Albright et al 1997], [Albright 2000]). His most recent estimate (October 2000) was that by the end of 1999 India had available between 240 and 395 kg of weapon grade plutonium for weapons production, with a median value of 310 kg. He suggests that this is sufficient for 45 - 95 weapons (median estimate 65). The production of weapon grade plutonium has actually been greater, but about 130 kg of plutonium has been consumed - principally in fueling two plutonium reactors, but also in weapons tests. His estimate for India's holdings of less-than-weapons-grade plutonium (reactor or fuel grade plutonium) are 4200 kg of unsafeguarded plutonium (800 kg of this already separated) and 4100 kg of IAEA safeguarded plutonium (25 kg of this separated). This unsafeguarded quantity could be used to manufacture roughly 1000 nuclear weapons, if India so chose (which would give it the third largest arsenal in the world, behind only the U.S. and Russia).

India's first effort to formulate a nuclear policy and the determine the means needed to implement it was an informal but authoritative study group that was set up in November 1985 to answer queries by Rajiv Gandhi regarding defense planning. It encompassed the three services (Navy Chief of Staff Adm. Tahliani, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. K. Sundarji, Deputy Cheif of Air Staff John Greene), leaders of BARC (Ramanna), the DRDO (Abdul Kalam), and the AEC (Chidambaram), and India's most prominent strategic analyst K. Subrahmanyam. The outcome of the group's deliberations was to recommend building a minimum deterrent force with a strict no first use policy. The arsenal envisioned was 70 to 100 warheads at a cost of about $5.6 billion.

In 1994 K. Subrahmanyam suggested that a force of 60 warheads carried on 20 Agnis, 20 Prithvis and the rest on aircraft would cost about Rs 10 billion over 10 years. In 1996 Sundarji suggested a cost of some Rs 27.5 billion -- Rs 6 billion for 150 warheads, Rs 3.6 billion for 45 Prithvis and Rs 18 billion for 90 Agni missiles.

You are far away from what I tried to inculcate.... Sorry

 

[MrIndianSikh]

I doubt you had your meal!! They were tested but were not in the service prior to 2001 attack.

Agni 1 was introduced in service on January 2002.

Agni 2 was flight-tested successfully on May 17, 2010. Before it was good for nothing, got failed too many times.

If you can wipe out our Punjab with Prithvi-1 (150) then my dear you are a king amongst world's fool..

Dont forget this article is talking about 2001 and mentions SRBM at that time

do you even know what year the Agni missiles entered production? we test them from the production lot the Agni 2 and Agni were tested successfully in that year we had produced several others along with them not just 1 or 2 for testing purposes

and you really suck at geography Prithvi 1 was 10 years ago we have Prtihvi 2 and 3 missiles that can even destroy your capital if launched from our Punjab or Kashmir they're range can be extended as well this was proven when we tested a modified dual liquid/solid fuel MRBM Prithvi for use against our ABM's

from Jalandhar to Lahore is 119.09km from Jalandhar to Islamabad is 347.62km which is well within the range of our Prithvi missiles

if pak was in such a comfort table situation then why was your P.M "according to reports" was knocking every door from china to america to sauds for help yelling that india is reading for war why pak choose diplomatic option by draging in america when it comes to TAKING INDIA HEAD ON either you are not capable our your army is not under civilian control and does not care to take on board pakistani people "they might be prefering terrorist over pakistani people

 

[Rafi]

Apparently Mr allusion suffers from self delusion - keep it up, it amuses us.

You didn't do anything did you, speaks volumes about the deterrence factor of our Armed Forces, and there is nothing wrong about getting your friends on your side.

assuming in the first place that your nuclear program was developed by your scientists, U think Indians are not capable to do it. In your wildest dreams are you suggesting that a Pakistani scientist is better than an Indian scientist?

One thing that is good for us is, we have plenty of Uranium so we don't have to import it from outside.

Are you saying that u mine uranium in pakistan????

Yes we mine Uranium it is present in sufficient quantities - for both our civil and weapons programmes.

you think that uranium in ur bombs is plenty or i dont find any other source of it in pak which is in plenty

ever heard abut Pakistani uranium mines?

The Wahi Pandi, Karunuk (Sehwan), and Rehman Dhora (Aamri) mines in the, Kirthar Range, Sindh and the Shanawah Deposit, Karak in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province are being opened up to meet Pakistan's rising need for uranium, which these sources are issuing at a ore grade: 0.04% Uranium mineral purity rate. The Baghalchur site has several abandoned mines and is now being used as a industrial dumping ground.

Baghalchur (Urdu: بغلچو&#1585 is small town in Dera Ghazi Khan District, Punjab, Pakistan. Baghalchur is the site of abandoned Uranium mines now being used as a nuclear dump. The resident of the area along with several Pakistani environmentalist groups are bitterly opposed to the nuclear dump being used by Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) have asked the government to invest in better techniques in the disposal of nuclear waste materials

The government has allocated Rs22 billion [US$ 255 million] for 25 new and ongoing projects of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), including detailed exploration of uranium resources in Bannu Basin and Kohat Plateau. (The News International June 4, 2011)

Pakistan's government has prepared a $600 million extensive plan for exploring and mining uranium deposits in the country to fuel future nuclear power plants (NPPs). Informed sources told Dawn that uranium deposits so far discovered in 'Siwalik rocks' in some parts of central Punjab were of low grade. However, by applying new mining technique, good quality uranium could be produced at a competitive rate with a view to progressively developing the uranium mining sector. The mineral sector is required to produce 350 tons of yellow cake (U3O8) per year by 2015 for meeting one-third requirements of the planned NPPs. The mining of uranium will be undertaken at three sites -- Bannu Basin, Suleman Range-3 and Suleman Range-4 in Dera Ghazi Khan -- to produce the required fuel for NPPs. Through these NPPs, the government wants to produce 8,800 MW of electricity by 2030. (Dawn March 1, 2007)

On June 24, 2004, the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) of the Planning Commission has approved a uranium resources exploration project, which will cost Rs614.1 million (US$ 11 million). The project is "to ensure indigenous supply of uranium against abrupt suspension of such foreign supplies in the future". (Dawn July 11, 2004)

Oo comeon don't satisfy your lust for superiority... In 2001, according to Ms. Rice India deployed nuclear capable SRBM on the boarder... India, at that time only had Prthvi-1 operational as a SRBM, rest of others were in the phase of development.

Rest of the contents in your post are irrelevant to what was the case in 2001.

Now will you please come out of the shell of jingoism and talk more sensibly ? Do you want fellows of this side to start talking about missile technologies of both the countries? If yes then I bet you'll regret. Peace

See we have plenty of natural uranium making our program very self sufficient.
