The ๐ฎ๐ณ #Army#Chief's recent threat to erase ๐ต๐ฐ from history is nothing short of "delusional fantasy." Such arrogant rhetoric exposes a dangerous disconnect from ground realities:

@zahirhkazmi@IshtiaqCISSS The 1964 assessment looks less like alarmism and more like an early appreciation of long-term strategic dynamics. Today, India has developed long-range missile and sea-based nuclear capabilities that give it capability to hold targets far beyond region at risk, including the US.
๐ฃ In December 1964, a senior U.S. Defense Department official wrote a secret memo titled The Indian Nuclear Problem.
One key assessment was stark:
โOne consequence of an Indian program is that one more national state, India, could some day be able to attack the United States with nuclear weapons.โ

With no genuine security dilemma, these boats help Bharat pursue the prestige and status it pines for.
However, these revise the regional and extra regional balance. With Russian boats, Bharat seeks a role in Indo-Pacific Quad! Oxymoronic, ainโt it?
Is thatโs why U.S. Secretary of War repeatedly used โPacificโ instead of โIndoโ in his keynote at Shangri La Dialogue of @IISS_org ? Not sure which side is Indian on.
@SIPRIorg under estimates the ready arsenal count at 12 on the SSBNs โ they take the lowest estimate.
See simple maths ๐
INS Arighaat (4 tubes): up to 4 ร K-4 or 12 ร K-15.
INS Aridhaman (8 tubes): up to 8 ร K-4 or 24 ร K-15.
This is already far beyond the old โrecessed, de-matedโ story.
This reconfirms the thesis on the posture see following thread ๐งต

Pakistanโs restraint in May 2025 conflict was a deliberate and considered choice. Any future military adventurism by India against Pakistan will be met with a decisive and comprehensive response rooted in Quid Pro Quo Plus. The cost India would bear for such aggression would be far higher than any political or military objective it could hope to achieve. 1/n

@ExecDirCISSS SIPRI 2026 findings indicate that ๐ฎ๐ณ continues to enhance its nuclear weapons & now deploying ICBMs. These developments raise serious concerns for regional and global security and warrant closer international scrutiny & checks.
@ExecDirCISSS India increased its nuclear arsenal from 180 warheads in 2025 to 190 in 2026, while also moving from zero deployed warheads to 12 deployed warheads within a single year. This is not a gradual evolution but a significant and rapid shift in nuclear posture.
@ExecDirCISSS The latest SIPRI data should alarm the international community, particularly the West, as India's expanding nuclear arsenal and advances in long-range delivery systems pose serious risks to international peace and security.
๐ฎ๐ณis now the worldโs fastest-growing nuclear power. In just one year (2025โ26), it added 10 warheads. More alarmingly, it appears to be shifting from its undeployed, de-mated weapons pledge to a deployed posture, placing regional & international stability at risk as well as increasing fears of accidental or unauthorised launch, especially after the BrahMos incident in๐ต๐ฐ.
@ExecDirCISSS From 0 to 12 in one year with 190 warheads; SIPRI 2026 report reveals๐ฎ๐ณ's 12 deployed nuclear warheads. With Agni 5&6 ICBMs, SSBNs & K series SLBMs,๐ฎ๐ณ's nuclear arsenal reach includes ๐บ๐ธ & ๐ช๐บ.India's nuclear threat is now global & ready. A threat to ๐ peace & strategic stability
๐ฎ๐ณ went from 0 deployed nuclear warheads in 2025 to 12 deployed in 2026, along with increasing its nuclear arsenal from 180 in 2025 to 190 in 2026. That's a one-year shift, not a gradual trend. With Agni-5/6 ICBMs and K-series SLBMs now in play, this is not just about South Asia anymore โ it is also a threat to global security. Silence in the face of such reckless policies only emboldens proliferation risks. It's time for serious scrutiny, not selective outrage. @SIPRIorg
