      My opinion you are wrong, in India the enemy is Pakistan and its ally, China. And from the United States since the beginning of the two thousandth they have a complete idyll.

        As for Pakistan and China - absolutely true. But the USA ... Well, yes, friends. But as they say, hope in Krishna, and tie the donkey. Hindus are extremely distrustful comrades. Yes, and hit better than the Chinese.

  5000 km is the case if the warhead will be one ton mass ... and if the nuclear warhead is 500 kg, then it will easily reach the United States. The same story is with our Iskanders. The maximum mass of warheads allows it to hit 500 km, and if it is less than two, and even with nuclear warheads, it’s 50 kilotons, where will it fly? ...

    1. She already has YABCh, weight "PN" = 1100kg, "Payload" is already reduced by 400kg (compared to Agni-3), and a step is added
    
    2. India doesn’t have 500kT; Shakti I- 2-stage YaBZ = 45kT ... maybe (if difficulties are overcome) up to 200kT
    all the more so are they MIRVs
    
    3. Until it can. BIP is designed for 1000sec of flight time
    4. And so the problems were above the head, with the same nose fairing: 5000 degrees Celsius when entering the atmosphere, and the functioning of the BDT is not higher than +50

Well done! Glad for their success. We need to be stronger friends. I think that they would be loyal allies. Yes, and their environment makes you look for an ally adequate, i.e. permanent.

    I don’t know history well, therefore I write that India can be a strategic ally. And we are not a threat to each other.
    Hence, I am pleased with the success of the Indians.

  There is no missile defense system that would not target Russia!
  And therefore, any opposition from the Allies, or from neutrality, is only a plus to our defense!

And the distance on the map to the United States is not destiny to see?
Non-aggression guarantee? Yes, India and the United States cooperate in the military sphere, the Americans sell to India. What kind of attack are we talking about?

ISKANDERS are more likely to fly for 1000 km, calibers under 15 did not fly AT 2500.
