Pakistan Knew About May 11th Nuclear Threat and Was Watching Pokhran Via Internet

[JAISWAL]

btw there was another thread which discussed whether the 1998 indian nuke tests were a flop bcos of the low yield . Besides the possibility of tactical nukes and / or being radiation devices , there is another dimension . I think india wanted to force pakland to declare that they held nukes and by testing , lured them to retaliate thus triggering sanctions and it's my guess that india knew the sanctions would set pak back relatively much more !

there was quite possibility that, this had happen but, till its not open you naver know actual reason.
