India planning devastating second nuke strike
India will never use nukes first. But if attacked its nukes will be protected and second strike will be devastating.
According to media sources, Advocating robust deterrence against any threats of first use of nuclear weapons in the neighborhood, Naval chief admiral Arun Prakash said India’s second strike capability should be ‘well protected’ and ‘overwhelmingly devastating’
Nuclear deterrence lies in the mind of the adversary. To deter someone, you must be able to convince him that the consequences of using a nuclear weapon will be so horrible and devastating, that he should never contemplate it”, the Naval chief said, pointing out that India was faced with a nuclear opponent who has in the past threatened first use.
Along with a robust nuclear deterrence, Prakash, who was addressing a seminar organised to mark the 40th anniversary of Institute of Defence Studies and Anaylses(IDSA), said if India aspired to don the mantle of even a regional power it needed to set up a rapid deployment force and boost its sealift and airlift capability to have sustainable trans-national capability.
“We have to shed our diffidence and find not just the ways and means, but the will to project our power overseas,” he said.
