Arunji,
1. What makes KS say that we need not be concerned abt TSP buildup and that our deterrence is robust and credible ? Saying that Pu produced is enough for >100 wpns is not a consolation unless "more" means "much much more"...
2. Also, the reports indicate TSP has deployed 100+ weapons and may soon overtake UK in number of weapons...are we going to have as large an arsenal ? isne there a worry that we may become infereior to TSP in this matter ?
3. Or, is it just that US has a better idea abt TSP's prog. than it has abt ours (more US wallahs crawling all over TSP)...
4. (related to 1) BK gave a different picture in his book..saying that what we have now is adequate for 200 odd weapons...is BK more correct than these amru estimates ?
5. Also, KS says not just numbers but quality matters as well...is he hinting at problems with the TN warhead having been resolved in a convincing fashion ?
6. If DRDO is going in for MIRVs, dosent it mean that we too, will embark on a buildup in the coming years if we are not already doing so ? No sense in having MIRvs if we have only 100 warheads or so...what do you say ?
