India readies for full-fledged test of indigenous ICBM

[jaunty]

Counter Measure via ICBM?- we are next door neighbors- why would you even think like that-

No I did not think that (clear from my first post) but your original post sure did sound like it. After all why would you suddenly need an excuse when it is not related to the Indian test.

just give us an excuse- we are holding up Tipu since ages-

Secondly- like i said in my previous post- Our ICBMs are the logical step forward after acquiring MRBMs-

It depends on your threat perception and strategic goals. It is not necessary that you must develop an ICBM as a step forward.

This is for China not Pakistan where Agni 2 and Agni 1 is sufficient not to mention prithvi

Shaheen - 2 Babayyy !!!
Pakistan test-fires nuclear-capable missile that could hit deep within India - World News

Your BillaLOL is much bigger threat to HUMANITY than Shaheen

 

[JonAsad]

@JonAsad India is going to launch the Gslv Mk3 soon with an unmanned probe in it. Can you please tell me what could be pakistan's best response to that???

After a few years India is launch another Mk3 with a real human in it. What will Pakistan do then??

I am curious man

why should Pakistan respond to that- you guys are delusional to think that every thing Pakistan does is somehow a response to india- yo can send Gslv Mk7 to last planet Pluto for all we care-

This is for China not Pakistan where Agni 2 and Agni 1 is sufficient not to mention prithvi

yup i know- and never said anything otherwise-

Your BillaLOL is much bigger threat to HUMANITY than Shaheen

BilllaLol is a great equalizer to sudden rise of hindu fanatics popping up after Modi came into office- -

This accusation of "sudden rise of hindu fanatics" always used to be made, way before Modi came into office. The term "internet hindu" also predates Modi's swearing-in by a long way.

What has actually risen after Modi's taking office, is the sudden rise of this accusation of "sudden rise of hindu fanatics".

There is a difference between excuse and motivation- realize that-

It depends on your threat perception and strategic goals. It is not necessary that you must develop an ICBM as a step forward.

Here finally you said it yourself what i was trying to tell you- does that come under motivation?- NO-

i didnt knew Swami before Modi- he maybe some hindutva leader in BJP- it didn't bothered us-
and when BJP is the ruling party that makes the difference- and i dont think i need to post his all the "recent statements" about Pakistan or Hindutva or Muslims-
Internet hindu has nothing to do with Modi- just like Love Jihad has nothing to do with Modi- cant find a relation- apparently you did- which made no sense at all-

If you did not know Subrahmanian Swamy, that just means that you were not too well informed. He was th fellow who exposed the largest corruption scandal in Indian history, the 2G spectrum scam. He was also the person who initiated the court case that eventually saw a sitting CM thrown in jail. He has been a very strident and controversial character for a long long time, in fact for decades. Just because you never heard of him doesn't make him a new entrant in the right wing brigade.

Your assertion that hindu fanatics have started popping up after Modi's win is in fact a reflection of your own skills of observation - as you yourselves say, you did not pay attention to them before, but now you do, so to you it seems like they are popping out more now.

When my grandma finally agreed to use a hearing aid after years of poor hearing, suddenly she noticed that our neighbours were too noisy - she insisted that a new bunch must have moved in next door. But what really happened was that...

OK, let's try this. Why don't you tell me how an Indian ICBM test which, you agree that, is NOT for you gives you an excuse to develop yours? Given that it is NOT a counter measure and it is NOT an issue of motivation.

Here finally you said it yourself what i was trying to tell you- does that come under motivation?- NO-

Since it is not about India-Pakistan, your ICBM should not be a result of threat perception from India and hence your original statement lacks logic, unless of course you manage to explain the "excuse" part.

Exactly my point- Swamy involvement with internal politics is alright whatever he did like i said it didn't bothered us- Good for you-
but when he starts to suddenly threaten a neighbor while his party has won majority of seats- thats changes everything- the exactly i said before to you-

Your assertion that hindu fanatics have started popping up after Modi's win is in fact a reflection of your own skills of observation - as you yourselves say, you did not pay attention to them before, but now you do, so to you it seems like they are popping out more now.

of course swamy exposing corruption or help putting a fellow politician in jail had nothing to do with Pakistan- you basically are repeating what i am saying while asserting something totally different- what was Imran Khan to you or Bilawal Bhutto to you before they made famous statements on Kashmir?- did it bothered you if they come to power or not?- i am sure it does now- can you grab what i am saying now?-

When my grandma finally agreed to use a hearing aid after years of poor hearing, suddenly she noticed that our neighbours were too noisy - she insisted that a new bunch must have moved in next door. But what really happened was that...

cute story and all- but check out mine-
when my neighbor used to shout and scream at his wife- i had no business to get involved in it- but now he shouts and screams on a loudspeaker at his wife and at Me for some reason and this causes disturbance- now it is my business-

you think i am crazy that i will keep explaining to you the same thing again and again- there is only that much i can do to make my point clear-
i suggest you do something else maybe that will clear your mind and will let the logic sink in- Later-

SHAHEEN 3 should be tested now or Babar 3.

You never explained why that was an excuse or what kind of excuse.

Ive heard Pakistan has been holding off on showing off its icbm. I wonder if it'll do that now.

All well and good, India is going to develop ICBM soon, the results of this particular test notwithstanding.

South Asia being nuclearized and missilized, in my view contrary to popular opinion is the best thing for stability in the region. With warhead tipped missiles, available abundantly to India, Pakistan, China it ensures that there can't be any real war between these countries, apart from some possible skirmishes like Kargil. With the keywords being nuclear deterrence of MAD.

Stability being an essential component of growth and development, I think the region is headed for unprecedented growth in the next few decades, for all, provided Pakistan can get it's act together vis a vis their internal extremist elements and provide good investment opportunities for the international community, like China has already done and India is about to do so.

As long as the you launch at me, I launch at you doctrine is in play, missiles being the most reliable way to deliver warheads, the current status quo would be preserved. The next sea change in the power equation in south Asia would be the development of missile defence.

Although still in it's infancy, in a few years or decades, development of a partial territorial missile defence to protect high value targets is a given reality. Only India seems to be developing a missile defence in south Asia with tangible results currently, which would give it a definite edge in power equations between the other two players, when implemented successfully.

I expect Pakistan to buy any such equipment when available from China, based on their past missile purchases (no offence meant to Pakistan btw), which leaves China to develop missile defence in competition with India. Apparently China is not doing so, so is it waiting for India to develop ICBMs first, or it simply doesn't have the technological expertise to do so?

I suspect the answer to this question will determine power equations in south Asia in the second quarter of the century.

I think India should develop ICBM, as Chinese I dont really care since your Agni 5 is already cover the entire China, an ICBM wont make any difference, since US and the western Europe were jumping of Joy when India claimed Agni 5 as China's killer, now it's their turn to taste their own medecine...when ever Indian design an ICBM can reach US...i will open Champagne for all.
