Hasn't India also progressed to Ulam-Teller hydrogen bombs whereas Pakistan's are fission designs? And if this is the case, are Pakistan's bombs gun-style uranium bombs or plutonium implosion bombs? And are India's (possible) hydrogen bombs fully weaponised? Actually, I've just looked at http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/india/nuke/index.html and that suggests that one of the Indian tests might've been a Ulam-Teller device whose second phase failed to ignite and http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/nuke/index.html gives low estimated yields for the Pakistani devices. Neither page has been updated for a few years though. Rich GCU So Many Questions _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
