MIRV technology offers three key advantages for India's nuclear strategy. Firstly, it provides greater assurance that India's nuclear warhead would penetrate any Chinese missile defense system due to the difficulty in stopping multiple warheads and decoys. Secondly, MIRV allows for the survivability of a smaller number of missiles even if a portion is destroyed, as each missile carries multiple warheads, ensuring a significant retaliation capability. Additionally, MIRV enables India to prioritize accuracy over firepower by using multiple independently-targetable warheads, compensating for any lack of accuracy in testing thermonuclear bombs. Moreover, by utilizing MIRV technology, India can deliver the same impact with a larger number of less powerful fission bombs, saving costs compared to using long-range missiles, which are more expensive. This is crucial for India, which has a lower defense budget compared to China.
