India building top secret nuclear city
We all know that India is a nuclear power with enough firepower to deal with any kind of threat.It is estimated that India already possesses between 90 and 110 nuclear weapons as compared to Pakistan's estimated stockpile of up to one hundred and twenty. But it is not enough if you compare it with China's stockpile of up to two hundred sixty warheads. So it is obvious that in order to match China's firepower. India has no other option than to expand its nuclear capabilities. In the year 2012 when the locals in the rural and remote area of Shalako here in the Indian state of Karnataka witness large scale excavation in their peaceful neighborhood. They were forced to inquire about what was going on and to their surprise they found no government official ready to give any information. What added to the mystery was that the whole construction area was then covered with a 15 foot wall encircling an area of nearly 20 square miles. Having a footprint comparable in size to the New York State Capitol. The sheer size of the project and utter secrecy with which the construction was going on attracted many journalists attention both Indian and international and thanks to their independent research. It was later found out that between the year 2009 and 2010 the Karnataka government had secretly leased the 8173 acre land to the defense research and development organization the Bhabha high atomic research center, the Indian Space Research Organization and the Indian Institute of Science, a research center that has frequently worked with the DRDO and India's nuclear industry. The progress on the project has been very slow.
It is believed that the project was conceived in the year 2007 but land for the project was made available three years later in 2009 and the final construction began another three years later in the year 2012. The reason for the delay as stated by the then Indian government was due to protest by local farmers and a few non-profit organizations. But experts claim that these excuses are baseless and that the government lacks the motive and the enthusiasm to complete such ambitious project. But then India got a new government in the year 2014 a government which decided to boost the project space by putting it on fast track. The new government has ambitiously decided to complete the whole project in phases by the end of 2019 delivering to the promise DRDO's aeronautical test range was completed and inaugurated on May 28 2017 the test range will be used to conduct the trials of unmanned aerial vehicles. Air to ground weapons parachutes and aerostats. The facility is also capable of conducting test flights of ballistic missiles. But another more controversial ambition according to retired Indian government officials and independent experts in London and Washington is the subcontinents largest uranium enrichment facility a military run complex of nuclear centrifuges. Atomic research laboratories and weapons. This will surely give India an extra stockpile of enriched uranium fuel that could be used in new hydrogen bombs also known as thermonuclear weapons substantially increasing the explosive force of those in its existing nuclear arsenal.
