Russia’s strategic Nuclear Forces commander has said that Russia needs at least 1500 Nuclear war heads in order to ensure global power balance. That would mean that the new round of Nuclear Talks between US and Russia may not be all that valuable, because there could be only few hundred war heads reduction.
The US government is still hopeful of a higher reduction by Russia, which might lead to similar number of nuclear war heads reduction by US.

CIA Director Leon Panetta has warned that releasing certain documents on the interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects would gravely damage US security. Mr Panetta made the submission in court papers presented to a US federal judge on Monday. The CIA chief argued that releasing CIA information describing the tough interrogation methods used would reveal too much to America’s enemies. Civil liberties activists have brought a lawsuit seeking the details. Legal action has already led to the unveiling of memos issued by the former Bush administration which authorised harsh interrogation methods such as simulated drowning - known as water-boarding.

A document providing confidential details of US civilian nuclear sites was accidentally posted on the internet, the government has admitted. The 266-page document gives you the precise location of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons. The Government Printing Office website took down the posting on Tuesday after experts expressed concern. US officials insisted the information detailed was not a security threat. The document, which lists itself as “sensitive but unclassified”, contains maps and information on hundreds of US civilian nuclear sites. No military installations are included but the document does cover the nuclear weapons laboratories at Los Alamos, Livermore and Sandia.

The Indian Space scientists are proving their growing power year after year to the world. Last year they put over eight satellites in one pay load vehicle, with three foreign satellites getting launched as per schedule. So far, only a handful of countries have the kind of technology required for this kind of a massive single shot launch.  This is also expected to help Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to make lots of money in commercial launches in future.

Few months back, India again was in the limelight, for sending its rocket to Moon and it started getting wonderful images from the high tech camera on a regular basis. The ISRO has said that manned mission to Moon is likely in another two years time. US and Russia could better listen.

And now, India has put it’s own SPY satellite into orbit successfully. The launch happened today morning at 6.45 am Indian time.  ISRO has clarified that the satellite with help India to monitor key movements, including terror camps, in doubting neighboring countries, on a continuous basis.

Yes, the satellite will provide feedback to the security establishment on a 24 X 7 basis. This is indeed a massive power equation enhancement for India, because it will help in utilizing the military resources optimally. The fight against terrorism could be more successful for India with the help of this wonderful SPY satellite. The Satellite is capable of performing in all weather conditions.

The dreaded Taleban was expected to be decimated, once the US army took control of Afghanistan seven years back. But the Pakistani military establishment had a totally different plan. It was funding and training top Taleban militants silently inside it’s territory bordering Afghanistan.

Being an ally of US in anti-terror operations, the US believed in Pakistan and never suspected it.

With massive support from the Pakistani armed forces, the Taleban grew in size and stature over the last few years, and now they have officially taken over 30% of the Pakistani territory.

Experts in Pakistan say that over 50% of Pakistan is now under Taleban control, and within the next few months, there could be a military coup in Pakistan.
