Well Pakistan started Nuclear Programe and extended through the hard work of its own and brilliant engineers to maintainthe equilibrium of power in the region and possible attack of its neighbours and far neighbours. Pakistan at present working on Uranium, Plutonium, its various isotopes, thermobomb, deuterium and tritium, cesium-137, strontium-90, and some synthetic elements, etc.
The U.S.-based Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) estimated that Pakistan had built 24-48 HEU-based nuclear warheads with HEU reserves for 30-52 additional warheads. But this counting is far behind actual facts since Pakistan's Nuclear program is secret, secured and fully protected that even friend of Pakistan could approach. The NRDC's and the Carnegie Corporation of New York's estimates of approximately 50 weapons are from 2002-03 estimations. In 2000, U.S. Military intelligence estimated that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal may be as large as 100 warheads. The actual size is hard for experts to gauge owing to the extreme secrecy which surrounds the program in Pakistan.
According to a US congressional report, Pakistan has addressed issues of survivability in a possible nuclear conflict through Second Strike capability. Pakistan has been dealing with efforts to develop new weapons and at the same time, have a strategy for surviving a nuclear war. Pakistan has built hard and deeply buried storage and launch facilities to retain a second strike capability in a nuclear war.
It was confirmed that Pakistan has built Soviet-style road-mobile missiles, state-of-the-art air defenses around strategic sites, and other concealment measures. In 1998, Pakistan had 'at least six secret locations' and since then it is believed Pakistan may have many more such secret sites. Time and again, US agencieis and secret agencies of the world confirmed that Pakistan nuclear program is secure and fully secret.
Yes.
Pakistan is one of the 8 nations in the world that is confirmed to have nuclear weapons. It conducted its first nuclear tests in 1998, a response to nuclear tests conducted by its arch rival: India. Furthermore, Pakistan is also believed to have the fastest growing nuclear weapons arsenal in the world. It is believed that its stockpiles already outnumber India's and it is rumored that they may exceed those of France and the UK in the future.
In addition to possessing powerful Plutonium weapons, Pakistan also possesses advanced delivery systems, though these are mostly dedicated to short range targets (since Pakistan is mostly worried about India). Pakistan manufactures its own ballistic missiles and cruise missiles that can be fired from land, sea or air. It also manufactures its own Fighter Jet, the JF-17, which can be used to deliver nuclear bombs. This complements its already large fleet of advanced versions of F-16 and Mirage III/V fighters. In addition, it also manufactures its own submarine (Augosta 90B).
At the present, Pakistan is not believed to possess long range delivery systems such as ICBMs. However, Pakistan is notorious for producing weapons in secret and it is believed that the country does have the capability to build ICBMs.
In addition, Pakistan has responded to India's induction of a nuclear submarine by vowing to build a nuclear submarine of its own. If Pakistan does build a nuclear submarine, this would mean that it will attain a long range delivery platform capable of striking targets anywhere in the world.
With the aid of nuclear missiles.
because he wanted to enter the atomic energetic power session and have a atomic power for pakistan. pakistan has many enemy like that India ,ameriica .when Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan make the atomic bomb then pakistan will make the super power in the atomic engry.
more than your mum
Pakistan on 7th rank as a atomic power in world.
Pure aggression/threat. There is far more risk to the human race from atomic weapons/ballistic missiles than potential benefit.
It seems that Pakistan is a 1 1/2% threat,But Iran is a 46% threat
pakistan yes the best look at their missiles supreme man or
Supporters of each country would claim their own were. Let us hope it is never put to the test
yes
Dr.Abdul Qadeer Khan
