India announces nuclear missiles with 6000km range. This puts Europe, S.E Asia and China under threat of Indian gunboat diplomacy. Fucking hell, I think its time we start developing our own nuclear weapons.

for wat sia waste money.

Yes, India is developing a 6000km ballistic missile that can be fitted with a nuke warhead (along with plenty of other sophisticated weaponry).

but.....SHE AIN'T THREATENING ANY NATION!!!! understand?

When you are a growing economic power you must have a strong defensive and offensive force otherwise you are gona get "bullied". Besides, India is surrounded by neighbors who are not very fond of her.

Singapore developing nukes??? Sorry, Singapore doesn't have the need, or the necessary threat perception or the physical size to justify possession of nukes.

singapore so small meh..india just need a small nuke,and WAM! were done for..perhaps singapore needed one anti ballistic nuclear missile..just in case..

do you all notice on the paper yesterday pakistani tested successfully their nclear capable cruise missile.
To day india said their agni missile have range of 6000km.
they are trying to out shine each others

india also expand their navy powers,
they are building their first indigenous aircraft carrier and buy a 2nd hand
carrier and new frigates from the russia.
they also order subs from the france

they dun want racist remarks abt them from the europeans wad....

anyway, just to help out a bit.... http://www.todayonline.com/articles/227297.asp

india won't nuke us one lah....at least we treat our singaporean indians better that matland.

most probably they will nuke matland.

Actually, we should be worried if the ties between India and Malaysia or Indonesia plummet.

We would be at ground zero if India fires that missile at either of them, since we are so nearby. They might miss their target and drop it on us too!

true . Furthermore, india is really pissed of because of Malaysia. War is a possibility.

i wonder that 6000 mile ICBM can fund how many poor indian in india?

better spend the money for yoga classes..
or karma sutra..
make peace , not war..

Don't joke lar. Want to nuke Singapore also not so easy.

First, You nuke Singapore, Johore will kena the fall out also.

Second, You nuke Singapore, you also nuke the American ships and carriers often berthing here. USA doesn't like their troops getting nuked.

lets worry about China first before we look towards India. India is just a mere regional power and their foe will mostly likely be pakistan.

On the other end, China has a highly developed nuclear programme. Their ICBMs can reach most countries in the western hemisphere. If Singapore being Pro America, in any event need to choose sides in a war, hope we stay neutral with China. We have to fear Mainland China most with its wide array of nuclear weapons.

May i know why is India pissed off with Malaysia?

India has a no first use policy. So any nation that is not a nuclear weapon state is safe from an Indian nuclear attack. And nuclear weapons are against nuclear nations.

Major cities of the country, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and other “high value targets” will get the anti-ballistic missile defence shield, once the ballistic defence system (BMD) is fully operational within the next three to four years, missile and strategic system chief of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Dr V.K. Saraswat said here today.

Encouraged by the two successful tests of the BMD system with the indigenously developed “interceptor missile” hitting a “target missile” last week in Orissa, Saraswat said his scientists needed to conduct some more flight trials to fully validate the objectives.

This process, he said, would be over in the next three years or so following which he was hopeful of providing the protective shield to high value targets and metropolitan cities. This, he said, could happen over the next three to four years.

The successful testing of the BMD has put India into the elite club of countries having the capabilities of such a system. The DRDO missile chief said India could now also shoot down missile fired from ranges varying from 400-3,000 km.

He, however, clarified that the BMD system was a defensive system and given India’s nuclear doctrine specifying “no first use” of nuclear weapons, the BMD was needed more as a deterrent.

Although he did not name Pakistan and China, but said the countries in the neighbourhood had missiles of ranges from 400-3,000 km in their arsenal and the Indian BMD was capable of eliminating them endo-atmospheric (within the earth’s atmosphere) as well as exo-atmospheric (outside atmosphere).

While the interceptor now named “Praduyama” can liquidate the target at altitudes of 50km and beyond in “exo’ mode, the BMD can also hit the target at heights of less than 20 km in “endo” mode as was done earlier this month from Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-Sea in Orissa. The DRDO scientists would now focus on conducting simultaneous tests of “endo’ and ‘exo” by launching multiple interceptors on an incoming target, Saraswat said.

As regards the high points of the two tests of the BMD, he said the country now had the capabilities of shooting down a cruise missile traveling at very low heights. Incidentally, the cruise missile is a sub-sonic system while the ballistic missiles travel 2,000 metres in one second and the BMD system can it shoot down in 23 seconds after detecting it with the help of a network of sophisticated radars, Saraswat said.

The BMD system, at present can cover an area of 200 sq km and is comparable of such systems like the Patriot missile system from the US and the Arrow missile system from Israel. “Thus, for Delhi and the NCR (National Capital Region), we would require two batteries,” he said adding the interceptor can also perform many other roles.

These roles included taking on an incoming hostile aircraft at distance of more than 100 km and bolstering the air defence cover of the country with the help of a reliable network of radars, he said.

Incidentally, the US is interested in offering the Patriot missile system to India.

India develops nukes that threaten Europe and Asia

2.US,Russia,PRC ,N Korea have done more and long long time?

Why on earth would India want to attack Singapore?? India sees its relationship with Spore to be extremely cordial and improving all the time, just look at the number of Indian firms operating in your country, over 2700 and growing.

In regards to Malaysia, well thats just tragic, just shows how tollerant Islam really is, hope India forgets about selling them cruise missiles and stops its military-to-military exchange.

for a country that has tons of poor n homeless n they spend their national funds on this?

duhz. they will probably kill themselves trying to launch it

No one is doubting that India has many poor people, but no one can say India has no right to protect herself. For all those who think India is spending too much money on defence expenditure, its defence budget is only 2.5% of its $1.09 trillion economy.

And sly coments about killing themselves trying to lauch it...pathetic

actually the poverty problem in india were not big, infact its bordering huge humanitarian disaster. In delhi alone, every morning the city outhority cleaned delhi roads from dead poor people who either died in starvation, desease or cold.

dont make start when there is a natural disaster....it is sad.
