No India has one heck of a lot more people than that.
It’s not India’s markmanship we should question, but the candor of Poky-stan’s version of events. Who knows what kind of licking they took in this exchange.
With isis now getting beaten in Syria and Afghanistan and iraq, and the norks a long way off uber threat, why would Pakistan get aggressive now?
The tension along that border, even in supposed “times of peace” was palpable.

Threatening nuclear aggression has generally been very lucrative.

Not sure if their new S400 can intercept ballistic missiles http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/russian-s-400-triumf-air-defence-system-indian-air-force/1/1041713.html
The Persian Gulf completely dried up during the Ice Age.
—
The Persian Gulf did not exist before the end of the Ice Age, after which global warming caused by a one mile wide comet strike melted the 2 mile thick glaciers causing sea level to rise 400 feet.
For a country with over one billion people, 189 million is a rounding error.
Yep, you were likely guilty of speed reading, as it says right there 14.7 percent - have made similar mistakes myself, no biggy.
S-400 can, according to some, but only if there are enough batteries in the right place and the crews really know their stuff.
India would be a good solution to Pakistan...save us all a lot of the trouble down the road.
“Ive never understood why killing a Major is more noteworthy than a Private. Especially since Ive known some majors.”
My boss’s dad killed the major in his unit for ordering them to attack the Soviets. Then shot him and turned tail towards the Americans to surrender. He is still alive and loves the VA (served in Korea)
OK...... you have the more believable thought
Didn’t answer my question
Excert from the Carnegie Endowment Website:
“The total number of warheads that India needs for credible minimum deterrence in a no-first-use scenario has not been articulated by the government. The requirements as estimated by Indian analysts vary widely, from a few dozen warheads at the lower end of the scale to over 400 warheads at the upper end. In terms of required yield, views range from 10- or 12-kiloton bombs to megaton monsters.”

Like I said... India’s need for nuclear warheads to deter both China & Pakistan means they have more than enough to obliterate Pakistan targets alone many times over.
It’s enough to ruin their day. Thank you.
Weren’t the Pakis our allies and the Indians were the Russians? Something changed when we moved our tech service support to India.
