Pakistan outruns India in nuclear weapons race: ICAN



GENEVA (Staff Report) – In the list of ten countries with with the biggest nuclear arsenals, Pakistan stands at number six, where as India stands at number seven.

Switzerland based organisation International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) published the names of ten countries listed according to the the number of nuclear arsenal they possess.

While Russia and United States topped the list with 7,500 and 7,200 nuclear weapons respectively, Pakistan came sixth with 100-120 and India came seventh with 90-110 arsenals.


ICAN is a global campaign coalition working to mobilize people in all countries to inspire, persuade and pressure their governments to initiate and support negotiations for a treaty banning nuclear weapons.

120-45kt bombs vs 110-60kt to mt class weapons, do the math!
Anyhoo this is bullshit David Albright in 1999 deposed that India had 4200kgs of unsafeguarded plutonium, enough for approx 700 bombs.

India is certainly lagging behind in building proper off road trucks for carrying its own missile and TEL complexes.

We have had some local companies build some really nice trucks, but I'd like to see them doing some off roading a bit more.

The only somewhat meaningful reviews I have seen are of a few MPVs.

Congrats to Pak as they are making bombs.

It doesn't matter if they have electricity or not but gotta make bombs.

Whereas it's getting bombed by US so much and now Afgans threatening them of "hot pursuits".

They can use their nukes on Zarb-e-azb as well since Jets/Helis/Tanks not solving the issue of home grown terrorism export factory.

Wait till Finland becomes a Sharia Zone and back to 7th century.Your impotent Vikings won't be able to do anything.

Get ready for a Islamic Europe and pack your bags for Japan/US as Asylum.

Enjoy the time you have in your hand before that. :rofl:

Pakistan should know that India has a reserve of more than 1000 kg's of weapons grade plutonium,more than enough to make additional 200 bombs.

If it chooses to divert it's resources towards bomb making then it can easily outrun not just Pakistan but many other countries too.

We probably have too many by 80, so far as Pakistan is concerned.

Here is the FAO data based population density map for the Indian Subcontinent. Enjai.

Feeling impotent!?

You can ask the Americans to protect you. :p
I do not think your weapons threatens us. I am just thinking what the hundreds of millions living in poverty think about elite spending money on failed weapons programs and nuclear arms race...I like how Israeli does it, everybody knows that they got the bomb, but they have not neglected development in other fields of life. They have country worth protecting.

Because we can and its a regional necessity.
West now has the Pakistan, The Frankenstein monster with tactical nukes and Jihad spreading all over Europe.

India nudged nuclear treaties to get what it wants from the west..shows the security and the vision of Indian nuclear programs.

Finnish-Israeli arms trade flouts EU regulations
Contrary to the heavily-hyped image according to which the policy output of Finland is even-handed and neutral in the Israel/Palestine conflict, Finland is actually a major arms trading partner with Israel. Recent reports by the Committee of 100 in Finland, Amnesty International, as well as an article in Finland’s biggest newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, all revealed Finland’s deeply troubling attitude towards the actions of the State of Israel.
..
..

During its attack last winter on the occupied Gaza Strip, which had already plunged into a humanitarian catastrophe due to Israel’s illegal blockade, the Israeli army inflicted widespread death, injury and devastation. The respected and independent Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reported that 926 Palestinian civilians died in Israel’s attack and 5,303 were injured. Amongst them, 427 children under the age of 16 were killed and 1,890 children were injured. Furthermore, 110 women, 123 old people, 14 doctors and 4 journalists were killed. According to the UN, Israel destroyed 160 schools, 1,500 factories and workshops and 80 percent of the agricultural crops (Margaret Coker “Gaza’s Isolation Slows Rebuilding Efforts,” The Wall Street Journal, 5 February 2009). The BBC reported that 4,000 buildings were destroyed and 20,000 damaged. At least 50,000 Palestinians were left homeless and 400,000 without running water.

Knowing that the military technology used by the Israeli army is among the most advanced in the world there can be no doubt that the obliteration of the Gaza’s civil society was fully intentional.

In the light of the above-mentioned statistics alone, Finland’s military trade and research cooperation with Israel clearly violates European Union regulations on arms trade, which Finland has pledged to observe.
:D
Ofcourse..Finland has double standards on shame when it comes to survival. Finland should protect Israel cuz a lot of Finlands survival depend on Israel.

Just a suggestion - Ignore the Finnish troll @jouni on all threads except his own. Payback should be on his thread about Finland, derail the heck out of it and troll that idiotic insecure country he was bred and born in - Finlandistan.

That is how you deal with full time, paid obnoxious trolls like @jouni. Dilute their own agenda while not allowing them to disrupt your own conversations.

Our country is not "worth" to protect, eh? People are starving and we spending billions on defence , eh? Do your research properly dumbfuck. We are surrounded by a hideous enemies one is a aggressive millitary and economic superpower and second is nuclear suicide bomber and we don't have winter to save us either so we have to depend upon weapons and man power. Speaking of Israel... i'll say it again do some research beside winter war.

"The authors — Robert S Norris and Hans M Kristensen — have said pervasively that the US, Britain and France have been forthcoming with their number, but not the others.

For them, the authors have had to “rely more on information from Western intelligence organisations, expert studies, news media reports, and commercial satellite imagery”.

Their numbers, therefore, often come estimates, in a range."

Does Pakistan have a bigger nuclear arsenal than India?

  • Yashwant Raj, Hindustan Times, Washington

  • Updated: Mar 11, 2015 13:21 IST
A non-profit organisation that has tracked nuclear arsenals around the world for decades has in its newest report reiterated Pakistan’s lead over India in warhead estimates.



Pakistan has 120 to India’s 110, said the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, founded 70 years ago by the makers of American atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project.

The US has the largest arsenal with 4,804 nuclear warheads, Russia is a close second with 4,480, followed by the other three nuclear weapon states UK, France and China.

Pakistan, India and Israel, in that order, were the next three — but they are not nuclear weapon states. North Korea had a zero against its name, though it has the capability.
The report is in the form of a multimedia graphic, using numbers elicited from an in-house publication Nuclear Notebook written by members of the Federation of American Scientists.

The authors — Robert S Norris and Hans M Kristensen — have said pervasively that the US, Britain and France have been forthcoming with their number, but not the others.

For them, the authors have had to “rely more on information from Western intelligence organisations, expert studies, news media reports, and commercial satellite imagery”.

Their numbers, therefore, often come estimates, in a range.

In a 2014 Notebook report, they said Pakistan had “a rapidly expanding nuclear arsenal of 100 to 120 warheads and an increasing portfolio of delivery systems”.

India, they said in a 2012 report, has made 80-100 nuclear warheads though it is estimated to have produced enough weapons-grade plutonium for 100–130.

In all, these authors have previously said about 16,300 nuclear weapons existed till mid-2014, located at some 98 sites in 14 countries, including India and Pakistan.

Pakistan keeps them “dispersed” and “not at a central location”, secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in 2009. Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf has spoken of deep tunnels.

India, on the other hand, “is thought to keep its nuclear warheads and bombs in central storage locations rather than on bases with operational forces”, Notebook authors have said.
