They didn't even intervene back in the 1960's when China was 100% Communist and alienated from the global system, and when we had both the USA and the USSR as our sworn enemies. Not to mention back then, when we were extremely weak as well.

Folly of the Indians that year(in 1962) was that the preceeding era saw Nehru over rule army and scale down the armed forces. Secondly he listened to American Air Attache during the conflict and overruled army from using air force to spread the war. Chinese air force was non-existent at the time and various post-mortems have attributed indian failure to two aspects: a. non-development of infrastructure b. non-employment of the air force which was way powerful than PLAAF of the time.

Secondly we dont need US help this time round. You are welcome for round two.

that's a candid confession of india regardless of spacial difference: low and thin-staffed
Typical indian tribute!
 
So India does not have the ability to even retaliate against America in a nuclear scenario. They could nuke you day and night, and you wouldn't be able to respond at all.

Why would Americans nuke India day and night, in the first place?

Typical example of Chinese short sightedness and inability to appreciate anything that is beyond their nose. Ever heard of the Parallax error? That is what you are having when you type the above statement!!
 
It is just talk. The ENTIRE Indian nuclear arsenal is only about 1 megaton in total.

Whereas even ONE single Chinese nuclear warhead, is already 3-4 megatons by itself.

Chinas WMDs are a threat to the world. They should be immediately denuclearised.
 
Pakistan alone has a larger and faster growing nuclear arsenal than India does.

And what does that arsenal consists of , you do know that Pakistan is going for tactical nukes.

And even worse for India, in the scenario of a nuclear war between India and Pakistan

First tell me what do even know of this scenario of nuclear war between India and Pakistan


... India will have to hold at least 50% of it's nukes back, as an additional deterrent. Otherwise the PLA could simply roll down the Himalayas into a defenceless India.

After a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, PLA will more likely evacute Tibet and regions bordering India, to escape effects of fallout.

Pakistan on the other hand can simply fire all of their nukes at India without having to worry about witholding any at all.

MAD is worrying for both the parties.

It doesn't help that the India-Pakistan border has the highest risk of nuclear war on the planet. As the Economist said, it is the "most dangerous border in the world."

Well enjoy the consequences of decisions taken by your leaders back in the past.

The NPT only officially recognizes 5 nuclear-weapons states in the whole world.

The USA, Russia, China, France and Britain. :cheesy:
 
You will need at least five of your 20kt fission bombs to even destroy a large city.

Check the detonation radius of a 20kt fission bomb, and then check the radius of any medium or large city in the world. The difference is massive.

Like I said, one single Chinese nuke is 3-4 megatons, more than the entire Indian arsenal combined.

Brother Dragon, something you are forgetting,

India has Thermonuclear bomb too.... and do you know the minimum yield of it.....we do have plenty of 25 Megaton fission bombs at least 50 of them as per Chinese Intelligence....

Do you know the detonation Radius even if the yield is more than 10 Megaton and detonation 50 meters above land...even you soft bone will evaporate

25 Megaton Air Blast: Pressure Damage

Radius of destructive circle: 6.5 miles
12 pounds per square inch


The remains of some buildings’ foundations are visible. Some of the strongest buildings — those made of reinforced, poured concrete — are still standing. Ninety-eight percent of the population within this area are dead.

Radius: 10.7 miles
5 psi


Virtually everything is destroyed between the 12 and 5 psi rings. The walls of typical multi-story buildings, including apartment buildings, are completely blown out. As you move from the center toward the 5 psi ring there are more structural skeletons of buildings standing. Single-family residences within this this area have been completely blown away — only their foundations remain. Fifty percent of the population between the 12 and 5 psi rings are dead. Forty percent are injured.

Radius: 20 miles
2 psi


Any single-family residences that are not completely destroyed are heavily damaged. The windows of office buildings have been blown away, as have some of their walls. The contents of these buildings’ upper floors, including the people who were working there, are scattered on the street. A substantial amount of debris clutters the entire area. Five percent of the population between the 5 and 2 psi rings are dead. Forty-five percent are injured.

Radius: 30.4 miles
1 psi


Residences are moderately damaged. Commercial buildings have sustained minimal damage. Twenty-five percent of the population between the 2 and 1 psi rings are injured, mainly by flying glass and debris. Many others have been injured from thermal radiation — the heat generated by the blast. The remaining seventy-five percent are unhurt.

25 megaton fission bomb? :rofl:

You clearly don't know what you are talking about. :lol:

The source I provided (NTI disarmament) shows that India's entire nuclear arsenal is less than 1 megaton. In TOTAL.
 
India was even threatening to go to war with Pakistan in 2008, despite having no proof whatsoever that the Pakistani state was complicit in the Mumbai attacks. (Mumbai was subsquently bombed several times after that).

Any source India threatened war with Pakistan in 2008 ? :cheesy:

Yaar, its because India has not singed the NPT.

If we do, they will recognize us.

As simple as that.

You keep asking me the same thing. :P

This is what your home minister said, regarding the Mumbai attacks:

"The people of India will expect us to respond. We won't have any other choice,"

- Home Minister P. Chidambaram (2008)

As simple as that.

Then why haven't you signed the NPT yet? :D
 
You keep asking me the same thing. :P

This is what your home minister said, regarding the possibility of a repeat of the Mumbai attacks:

"The people of India will expect us to respond. We won't have any other choice,"

- Home Minister P. Chidambaram (2008)

When you quote something, one should quote the whole thing.

Chidambaram felt India would be forced to respond to a repeat of Mumbai attacks: Wikileaks

"[On] the prospect of another attack on Indian territory, Chidambaram noted that "the people of India will expect us to respond. We won't have any other choice." [US] Under Secretary [Bill] Burns stressed that the U.S. is pressing Pakistan to take action against all terrorist groups," the cable, detailing talks between US and Indian officials said.

As always you skipped the bolded part.

Also how the word "respond" mean only "declaration of war"?
 
it is a natural phenomena that military strength grows in tandem with economy. all other rising or risen powers follow the same path. Do you think other S Asian countries can be at ease when an incapable country like india keeps stockpiling its weapons?
Please make your mind. In one sentence you term us incapable and in same you say us stockpiling wepons. Take deep breath, think for a while, and then type either we are incapable or we are capable.
 
Guys don't fall for the repeated baits by these chinese trolls, stick to the topic and show them the finger.
