Episode Notes:

Ankit sits down with Matt Korda, the associate director for the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, to discuss India’s nuclear forces. The two focus on the retirement of the Dhanush ship-launched ballistic missile system, which Matt recently wrote a report about. In particular, they discuss the specifics of the system, why ship-launched ballistic missiles present risks, why India built this system in the first place, and what this retirement can tell us about India’s nuclear posture.
