I'd be happy to read :). <br /><br />if TNW can be used against corps battle groups on land, if I were Pak, it would make more sense to use them against an enemy Carrier Battle Group where I am clearly at a major disadvantage, numerical and qualitative. Also, civilian casualties will be far less which lessens political pressure for such use. <br /><br />***********<br /><br />In the unlikely event that this has not been given thought by our northern and western neighbors, you may choose to not publish this comment. <br /><br />Jean Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523465808756925391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-9373114772107545402014-10-01T07:50:54.862-07:002014-10-01T07:50:54.862-07:00This is anon from the first note

This was with out doubt a 9 - 10 ! <br /><br />@Anonymous 30 September 2014 08:47<br /><br />Until very recently P'TAN was declared to use Strategic Nuclear Weapons on its own territory in case of an existential threat.<br /><br />Now with the Hatf IX Tactical Nuclear weapons (lower destructive yields designed for eliminating large military formations)with a range of 60 KM and a new doctrine to boot, it is probable that PAK may use TNW as soon as an opposing military formation has penetrated its boundary completely. <br /><br />However, in the naval scenario 3 questions come to mind. <br /><br />1. Is the Hatf IX capable of detonating at Sea Surface ? <br /><br />2. Being that Pak territorial waters extend up to 12 NM from the coast, what is rule regarding use of nuclear weapons at sea fleets located in international waters. Since its nobody's territory ? <br /><br />3. Will such an attack on an any Fleet located in International waters justify (legally or policy wise) full scale nuclear retaliation ? if yes, at what level ?Jean Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523465808756925391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-39403925948101950962014-09-30T11:44:33.178-07:002014-09-30T11:44:33.178-07:00After they add the letter N to their Nukes!!!After they add the letter N to their Nukes!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-33215646484507477002014-09-30T02:13:49.276-07:002014-09-30T02:13:49.276-07:00Buddy nukes are there never to be used!

Like any villain in any Hollywood or Bollywood film, when he is dying he will try to take everyone else with him too!<br /><br />Nukes are there for that. <br /><br />Either we only hurt him just about enough that he might learn about his mistakes or the other option would be to totally KILL HIM before he can press the trigger for the nukes.<br /><br />These are two different strategies. I like the first one where either side is made aware about the mutual destruction which prevents both sides from acting stupid. <br /><br />BTW Indian side is not stupid! I am obviously talking about Pakistan!<br /><br />China will never even think of using Nukes against us cos she has way too much to lose!<br /><br />If it ever will be, it will be the Jehadi Pakistan!Varun Sharmahttp://varunsfilms.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-65294123011089183172014-09-29T23:06:14.107-07:002014-09-29T23:06:14.107-07:00At the very beginning :)At the very beginning :)Cane-anhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367967273174803244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-25287825259982298642014-09-29T22:44:42.202-07:002014-09-29T22:44:42.202-07:00Minor nit...no aircraft carrier in the picture wit...Minor nit...no aircraft carrier in the picture with the article...whats the ship in the middle?amolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850810134873977120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-5934513574166417312014-09-29T20:17:36.768-07:002014-09-29T20:17:36.768-07:00At what point in the scenario will p'tan use ...At what point in the scenario will p'tan use ukes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
