Russia Leasing Out Nuclear Bombers...

India last night signed a L1.9bn deal with Russia to lease four long-range nuclear bombers and two nuclear-capable submarines, in a move which campaigners say will dramatically escalate the arms race on the subcontinent.

Hmm... I wonder if I can manage to lease a Mi-24 from them as well. It`s a strange world we live in!!!

Perhaps we should be looking at Indina and Pakistan as dodgy "Axis of Evil" countries.

The worst thing that could happen is a nuclear exchange between those two. Guess what will happen then? The wussified West, having been pussy-whipped into having their compassion forcibly misplaced for decades, gets inundated by refugees.. hundreds of millions of them. And of course we couldn't refuse them.. that would be inhumane..

If this were to happen.. look boys and girls and liberal bozos, it's us or them. If you choose them you are a traitor. Traitors get shot. Capisce?

you can't buy something that is not for sale.
so WTF does Russia/USA/UK/France or any other military power selling this stuff?
If they want to sell this kind of things they should held responsible (economically and morally) for any damage that weapons could do in the future.

It's illegal to buy sex products if you're under 21 but they can sell nuclear weapons to a high-risk area. This is just nonsense.

Hell you can hang a nuke under a F-16 or MiG-29 that Pakastain or India have and it still a nuclear bomber....

In terms of thermonuclear warheads the W-80 used in cruise missiles only weighs 290 pounds, is 31.4" long & 11.8" wide at its largest diameter. By comparison the Little Boy fission bomb used at Hiroshima was 120" long, 28" in diameter and weighed 8900 pounds.

The fission explosive used as the W-80's trigger only takes up the first 10" of the front of the warhead. The rest of the warhead consists of those parts used to generate a fusion reaction using the gamma radiation resulting from the triggers detonation.

The W-80 warhead is available in 5-150 kiloton versions. For comparison Little Boy had a 15 kiloton yeild.

Basically something very powerful can be made very small.



Given how small such a large yeild weapon can be you can use any aircraft, even a piper cub or a 2 passenger glider, as a "nuclear bomber". The only real "design issue" is if you want the plane back or not

And the narcisistic "know better" radicals, like any other mortal, meet the bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sixtine Chapel in the end. And while here they can bullshit and try, or do complex people, there the same "universal" law applies to them no matter how hard they hit themselves on the chest.

And has anyone told you that you're being utterly paranoid ?
I mean, it's not that after a nuclear war the refugees, the few left (we're talking about nuclear war here, no ?) will get on jet planes and flood the US, most of them will do it on foot and by boat and there's a whole lot of land and sea they have to cover to get to tarnish your beloved country.

Get real !

I wonder if any Pakinstani's and Indians are worried about there leaders having all this Nuclear crap.
I'll quote one Pakinstani. "People are starving living in poor housing and yet they can find money to buy the bomb"

Funny, they say that about America too.

Well I'm talking about someone who goes to Pakistan every summer for several months. They see it's improving but she would rather the Government spent the money on the population rather than arguing over Kashmir.
No doubt some Indians have got same feeling about their Government.

KvH paranoid? First time i hear about it

And before we start pointing fingers again, other countries are no better. The US will sell anything to anyone (ask Saddam), and the Germans have a good history of selling "medical devices" to Iraqis as well.
