What are the chances of it being true?? I badly want it to be true

Not enough to deter the numero uno swine of the world.

Need around 2k warheads with 10-15 MIRV capable SLBMs & ground based delivery system with atleast 10k range (SLBMs should be prioritised though).

Will be a great step, if nuclear arsenal gets expanded.

 

[AGNI 6 ICBM]

SFC-Indian navy

6 -> S5 class SSBN

Each S5 class SSBN 14-16 SLBM's

So 84-96 (K5/K6) SLBM's

let's say each (K5/K6) Has 4-6 MIRV's

So 84×(4-6) OR 96x(4-6) MIRV's


336-504 OR 384-576 MIRV's only for sea based SFC

expect similar numbers for land based (Road/Rail) SFC


🕉 MIRV's specifications mostly:

Type 1
Weight ~300 KG
Yield ~250 KT

Type 2
Weight ~500 KG
Yield ~450 KT

Generally, the top tier missile testing by DRDO is very much shrouded in secrecy for long time. I had an conversation with an NAL scientist known through our relative during 2018 after the first SFDR launch. While the official media news is the Missile failed but he simply told the test was indeed successful and DRDO simply withhold the information.

Also, we came across dozens of Prithvi missile testing for decades now. Prithvi is such an old missile and it is pretty much we can speculate that DRDO is testing some new missiles but just simply not providing any tidbits to common people.

Same situation is going with SSBN and SSN a lot of manufacturing infra is upgraded in HSL but we rarely heard about them compared to MSL, GRSE, CSL ship building capabilities. The subs activity also very much in secrecy and we are getting tidbits in a very delayed fashion.

Yah, there was such uncertainty after DRDO's first test of the HSTDV in June/ 2019 . There were reports that the test failed, but later there were indications that it was a success. To this day, it is foggy.
