#4 I know Isreal will be having to do some modifications to their subs. I think this was the real reason they had high profile contacts with India not to long ago. Sub launched nuke tiped missles would defang Iran. The message to Iran, you can't win. Same message that we and the Russians sent each other MAD.

#5 Wow, the Indians just keep on coming. Nothing too fancy, but filling in the gaps where "CAPABILITY: none" existed before.

#6 Sock---just a thought, but would Israeli sub launched nukes really defang Iran? If these MM guys believe their sh*t like we think they do, wouldn't they ignore this deterrant, unlike rational people?

#7 I think they would. No matter what they did there would be a reply. I don't think they would ignore the deterent.

#8 ...Someone refresh my memory, and I may be remembering this wrong - but didn't the Shah have his own 'Cheyenne Mountain' type hideout that up to now has been out of reach of Israel?...
If the mullahs were using that place, they might be rethinking it now.

#9 Somehow, I really can't blame and feel like I must kinda encourage India to keep developing this stuff. With a barely "not-going-over-the-fucking-brink-to-theocracy" government and a almost nuclear capible Iran, it seems like a logical thing for a democracy to do.

#10 I'm not sure about the Shan's command & control facilities, but he did start implementing software & computer networks similar to ours. I worked in the Pentagon on ours as a young programmer & was offered a sweet deal to go to Teheran and work on theirs. My new husband dug in his heels, I decided to stay LOL and 18 months into what would have been a 24 month contract the Shah fell. So I don't know how far they got on the technology side.
