remember, in terms of industrialization and weapon quality, there is a 40 years gap between india and China.
you even could not build a MBT on your own.
You r correct but its so ridiculous that in mordern times China and India are seen as the powers of the future, some like Obama are even calling it "Nuclear Power".
Why am i telling you This ?
India Lags Behind China - True.
But China Lags behind US , Its also true.
We got independence in 1947 and started from nowhere and if u really want to compare.. then compare India,Pakistan and Bangladesh.
India, with china on one side is projected to be a global power and they are said 2 be the relievers of the Global economy in these times of recession ; on contrary Pakistan and Bangladesh are no where when talking abt economy.
Pakistani,BD members im not offending any one saying India is Gr8, but we 3 started from One point, but see the difference, the GAP that exists between the countries.
Besides, Your claim is false that we are 40 Years behind.
India Tested its weapon in 1974 , pakistan did so in 1998 , is pakistan 20 Years behind ?
NO. Both have equated, even with India having a Thermonuclear Bomb. Paktsani members are right that their current arsenal is quite sufficient against india.
India Got Sukois, pak Got JF17+F16s , IAF has edge but Still PAF can make IAF sweat with its fleet.
we got Sukoi's in 1997 pak get its F16 in 2010 (latest ), are they 12 years behind , NOT really they have what is sufficient for them.
Now, when talking about Nukes - India and China are equal.
Yes you have more subs, longer range Missiles but They can destroy an incoming Agni.
The conclusion is right from where we started - Nukes are for safety of citizens, but what if the cistizens it protects, exist no more just bcoz of it ?
