Mohan, If they can make a 200-kiloton device, there is no reason they couldn't make a megaton device. Once they have the concept, the only constraint is size and weight capacity for their delivery mechanism. That, and the inability to test underground at large yields. Everything else being equal, a 200-kiloton device would be smaller than a 1 megatonner. Have you seen anything where India is claiming to be able to deliver this large weapon by missile? Or is it supposed to be a bomb? I'd be very sceptical of their ability to put It (the big one) in a missile warhead. Certainly impossible without beaucoup more nuclear tests. The thing I find suspicious is India saying that they are willing to sign the CTBT (now!) and do no more tests. If they signed now, then they would be unable to weaponize their H bomb. If, with our 1000+ nuclear tests and very sophisticated computer models, the U.S. can't develop new nuclear weapons without doing actual tests, I'm hard pressed to see how India can do it. David
