Probably reverse engineered by the Chinese from the Tomahawk. Parts of Tomahawks fired at Osama by Clinton were salvaged by Pakis and were sent to China (IIRC). As per their claims, this missile is already nuke capable. The Pakis are saying that they are going to make this as an SLCM (Submarine launched Cruise Missile). They don't have the expertise for making miniature nuke warheads that can be mated with the missile, but as usual it will be provided by China, the mother of all prolifertors. Pakis are buying Agostas from France and it is speculated that nuke mated SLCM missiles will be fitted in those submarines.

It is clear what the Pakis are aiming at - a nuke fitted SLCM in a submarine that can roam undetected.

But don't worry. Let's invade Eye-ran. Eye-ranian moolahs got to go. They are supporting terrorism. They are oppressing democracy loving eye-ranians. And worse, I hear that the moolahs there eat dogs for breakfast.

Um, can you avoid referring to Pakistanis as Pakis, or I'll report this to the Moderation staff as racist trolling, and it's a referral I am not likely to lose. Cheers.

Does India have cruise missiles and SSNs? If not the US should just sell them some to even up the odds.

Yay, another country brings us one step closer to the inevitable nuclear holocaust. Hooray for humans...

DC,

We already have a supersonic cruise missile (BrahMos), but it is NOT nuke capable. Our deterrance is based on ballistic missiles and that is already a credible deterrance. There was no need for more weaponisation unnecessarily. However, now that Pakis have taken the lead, India will be forced to go for the same. Atleast to deter the Chinese, who have upped the ante by this move.

Tactical Grace,

I believe, "Paki" is a racial slur only in the UK. And I never understood why Paki is a racist word. Pakistanis don't constitute a race. Then how can "Paki" be a racist word ?

Cheers.

Says UK law, where the servers are based. :p

It is not the done thing anyway, not when UK citizens make up a significant portion of site users. Most people don't find the SS lightning flashes offensive, but they are now banned in flags. I would err on the side of caution when it comes to offending people on ethnic lines. This is the Internet, your geographical location does not matter.
