Arun, are you saying Russia is going to transfer TN warhead (the one that would work) to India? [/quote]
No way ! to transfer warheads from other country, because it is given then that country will control India, because for all you know it be a Trojan dud. (recalls me of fella called R Chidumbrum who thought he had a super duper next gen TN design (so good that it did not even require lab validation or airing of scientific counter arguments in his team) a design that was even superior to Yankee and Bear, just that when the day of reckoning arrived in 98 it went fizzle). I am convinced that Indian TN design is fixed. It just remains untested thus unknown. India just need access to high energy lab (or a field test). Not just Vodka but some fine french wine may already be flavoring the cauldron.
