Pretty good assessment. I concur that the TN fizzle doesn't mean that the deterrent is compromised. It only means they need more of them.
One concern is the 50kt being boosted to 200kt. The first part will have to be quite heavy to get that much out of it. Hence the pursuit of the TN.
BTW, where does Karnad say all this?
Agree that the KS and other follow-on comments have clarified a lot of the issues and its more credible than the TN capability stuff before the revelations.
