India surpassed Japan when it successfully tested a nuclear bomb. Japan has no nuclear weapons of it own. But India can't and will never be able to surpass Russia. Russia will maintain its 2nd military power world wide. Don't be fooled by the war in Ukraine. Russia is not fighting with all its capabilities or else the very civilization even beyond Ukraine will be at stake.
