Once again, the threat of nuclear war hangs over the Indian sub-continent as India and Pakistan teeter on the brink of another war following a series of military escalations that might worsen if Pakistan decides to respond today to its rival’s “surgical strikes” on Feb 26, 2019. Islamabad’s expansion of its nuclear arsenal, development of new types of nuclear weapons, and adoption of a doctrine called “full-spectrum deterrence” have led some observers really know that its weapons are for not-first use and only to reflect concern about an increased risk of nonstrategic balance in favor of India since the civil-nuclear deal with the US. Why afraid of Pakistan and Iran have nuclear weapons when the US and other nuclear weapon holders still doing war and looting the people and doing war crimes killing millions?
Status of Nuclear in Pakistan
Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal probably consists of approximately 110-130 nuclear warheads, although it could have more. Islamabad is producing fissile material, adding to related production facilities, and deploying additional nuclear weapons and new types of delivery vehicles. Pakistan has both aircraft and land-based missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Short-range ballistic missiles and attack aircraft are the two methods favored for launching these deadly weapons.
