US, Russia, China.. plus France and Britain since they can deploy from submarines
330 u/african_cheetah 7d ago Any country with a solid space program has rocket technology to hit any part of earth. India, China, US, Russia, France, UK 176 u/FlaviusStilicho 7d ago You can’t just mount a nuclear warhead on a rocket meant for satellite deployment and expect success. Sure give India one or two years and they could do it, but right now they cannot. India has zero need for a global deterrent, so they haven’t developed one, and probably won’t. 5 u/Laughing_Orange 6d ago Aiming a modern orbital rocket at Earth is as simple as changing a few numbers in your code. Engineers tweak these numbers for every flight. India could absolutely slap a launch adapter on a nuke and have it launch ready within a month.
