What is the use of these statement? Any aeraial attack on pakistan need an surprise element. This statement is not gonna help the surprise element
The statement demonstrates the following
1.Intent to do an act
2.Espousing the intent in a public forum
3.Declaring military capability n capacity to see through the act
4.Converting the intent to a policy
This statement is a huge shift in policy...has high import in scheme of geostrategic game...this statement will not be taken light due to wat it implies....it tells we know exactly where paki nuclear materials/delivery systems are stored , in wat readiness...it tells dat we have war gamed this scenario with built in contingency...
Now Pakistan s left with only economically crippling n time intensive option of recreating a new set of secure facilities for its nukes n it's delivery platforms.
