I wonder if this might be a good counterbalance to Pakistan, resulting in higher chance for "peace" in that region. (Though I really hate nukes.)

- asto 15y agoWe've had the capability to nuke Pakistan into oblivion for a long time now! This development does not affect them at all. Also, the AGNI V is just a missile - the warhead need not be nuclear.
- maslam 15y ago"We've had the capability to nuke Pakistan into oblivion for a long time now!" Is that something to be proud of?
- fusiongyro 15y agoI would think it beats the capability of being nuked into oblivion by Pakistan. Ask 10 Indians and see which option they'd prefer.
- rskn 15y agoYes.
- asto 15y agoConsidering that most of the technology on a missile is general use (the rockets, fuel, electronics) and not only for weapons, yes I am indeed proud that my country has the capability to R&D and create such equipment without outside help. As for the military might, Pakistan's past actions speak for themselves. Indians sleep better knowing that Pakistan has a lot to lose should they try anything.
- kamaal 15y agoWe are proud of the technology achievements. Don't forget that we are the only nation which hasn't invaded any other nation in a millennium. If any thing we have nukes only as deterrents. We have never started a war alone and never will, because we don't want to kill innocent civilians. But God forbid if we are attacked then we are human beings and we need to defend ourselves.
- ashayh 15y agoNot completely accurate. The hundreds of princely nations invaded and fought among each other on a daily basis. But I agree, nukes are required.
- caf 15y agoThe reality is that if someone detects an ICBM launch, they have to assume that it is nuclear and respond accordingly.
