BTW, India already boasts of having missiles that can reach anywhere in Pakistan. Why does it need new warheads?
Same reason why US needs warheads.
"BTW, India already boasts of having missiles that can reach anywhere in Pakistan. Why does it need new warheads?"
The way the things are going, 10 years from now..in all probability Indians would test missiles capable of reaching any point on the earth.You don't hear them boasting but..in fact the capability exists already...They have launched 1000 kg satellites many times...
It would take 2/3 years to make a workable missile with a 20000 Km range. It is just a matter of political will and commissioning a project. No one can stop them if they start the project..
So everyone needs to reconcile and accept the ground facts. They have their own interests and they would pursue them..The deciding factor is that India is not really hostile to US interests....and amenable to US interests...The key for US is to have a bigger relationship with India so that Indians would need to go selling round pieces of valuable hardware...They have shown remarkable restraint as it stand now...US needs to encourage the same behavior...
