    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    They have a false sense of security in nuclear weapons. The more the merrier it seems for them. As you have rightly pointed out, a super power with 50,000 nukes broke down. It's funny that they keep referring their arsenal as a "deterrent" but they keep brandishing their nukes. Once the...

    Hence the attempt in the other thread to come out with clear aims and objectives so that we can actually start a war for a change and achivleve those objectives.

    What will be be the objective of India in the next all out war? Also keep in mind what Paki doctrine is as far as nuclear weapons use and you'll get your answer.

    Doesn't matter to us. You know what, a nuke attack on us does not necessarily have to be replied with the same against Pakistan.

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    Pakis are so so stupid. They deterred India when they probably had 10 bombs during Kargil and they are going on and on with their nukes. I think they are now more scared of the west than India an feel the day is not far when they actually become enemies of the US and hence need more and more of...

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    Proliferation was winked at by the US when the afghan war was on. Once it got over, US sanctioned pak including blocking F-16 sales. So no, US didn't approve pak going openly nuclear.

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    You can't sell nukes and get away unless the US blinks. US is in full know of everything about pak nukes. Any buyer of pak nukes is going to be middle eastern country which means potential use against israel. No way the US will wink at that. But before that, how will they slip the nukes away...

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    You don't need 100 nukes to blackmail the world. just one is enough. China deterred the soviets with 12 bombs. So the number of nukes is not going to increase deterrence value. Pak still relies more on fighters to deliver its nukes, missiles are there and all based on old chinese and NoKo...

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    Its all fear mongerimg. Britain has 250 nukes. Pakistan is not getting there any time soon. They may be ramping up production of fissile material but how much? Yes they are now getting into Pu bombs and trying to produce a lot of Pu, but still how do they oe we know they have a working Pu bomb...

    they may sell in the future. never know. but i dont think they have sold complete nukes already. these figures are also not accurate. they keep coming up from time to time. just a few months back it was 90 and before that it was 60. I dont think pakistan is producing so much fissile material to...

    realm of speculation. i dont think pak has as yet sold any nukes to saudis. it can be done in the future but it has not happened. US is watching. Saudis probably dont need the nukes as they are under Us protection.

    Minimum deterrence. We don't need any overkill. Mega ton bombs were for old inaccurate missiles. Chinese bombs are 300-500 kt range, all the deployed ones,

    With MIRVs we don't need mega ton payloads. Accurate targeting on specific locations will cripple any city. This has been discussed many times here.

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    It was the earlier Afghan war that helped pak get nukes and its the second war now there that helped pak get more in the form of Pu bombs. It is also one of the reasons why Pak kept the US engaged in Astan by keeping the pot boiling and two timing the US. As long as they are "strategic allies"...

    Pakistan expanding Nuclear arsenal

    DD, one thing is for certain. since it takes lesser fissile material to make Pu bomb and they are more compact. pak has invested heavily in Pu generation. but Pu based bombs are different from Uranium. you cannot go about it without testing. all of Pak tests in 98 were uranium bombs. It can only...
