Arunji,
Continuing the discussion about TN from the other (wrong) thread:
Indeed what u say about audiences is correct. Regarding high energy facilities,
1) are our scientists getting access to Russian/French facilities or
2) are they helping us build such facilities ?
Even if it is 1), the design team would probably have been able to confirm the fix. Full user confidence / enemy deterrence requires field testing, which our own high energy facilities cannot do either. In any case, deploying the fixed TN makes sense, with testing done in the next few years once more Agni III/V are available for deployment.[/quote]
I spent sometime to explain that issue and options in this article:

If India does not build on its soil the high energy laser facility, together with two competent and independent teams it does not alter the deterrence fiasco of R Chidumbrum's fizzle. Russi or french facility means nothing.
