موقف الاتحاد السوفيتي من البرنامج النووي الهندي (1966-1968)‎

الملخص EN

Since the end of world war, the nuclear weapons started internationally, There were more than fifty nuclear weapons explosions between June 16th 1949 and January 31th, 1953.

All this motivated the Indian government to develop its nuclear program which was initially launched to serve only peaceful aims.

But the tension between India and china after 1962 war between the two countries in addition to the fact that China carried out its first nuclear explosion in 1964, pushed the Indian government to pay more attention to its nuclear program, especially when the political parties and the parliament put pressure on the government.

All this came together to sign a treaty of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons..

USSR and the United States wanted to show their good intentions about nuclear disarmament, without taking in consideration the countries that already declared their possession to a nuclear weapon.

Neither USSR nor the United States gave any guarantees in case of possible attack.

In this regard, we will try to unearth the facts behind developing the Indian nuclear program since the independence till the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and the soviet policy towards it.
