It’s mentioned that India’s nuclear program has the capability of producing 500 bombs in the next 10 years.
Was the US already aware of India’s nuclear capability?
- muststopmyths 8y agoThey say the civilian nuclear power program would produce materials that could be used to make up to 500 bombs. That's a known risk of "civilian" programs, which is why Israel bombed Iraq's reactor and has threatened to do the same to Iran. In any case, the bomb project was also probably riddled with CIA and KGB agents (at least that used to be the rumor back in the day).
