I don't really see the point of deploying a suitcase nuke (even if a remote possibility of pakistanis competent enough to develop it exists).
A nuke is a nuke and the people on the other side have no particular guideline on matching the "yield" of the nuke used. Any nuclear armament will...
The question is, what's the point of developing "tennis-ball" nukes ?
Anyway, hilarious piece of article. Regardless of my reservations about its veracity. Saw the word "muslim" and "bomb" together ......and i was like....'meh'.
Actually, we tried. But once the sanctions hit, all the scientists and engineers working with the US were told to pack their bags and head back home. They weren't even allowed to gather their own research material.
They had to start working from scratch all over again.
The technology and the computing power we have today eliminates the need to spend 50 years re-inventing the wheel. The technology is available and the ISRO is used to perennially working under shoe string budget constraints.
Don't sweat over it too much. Times have changed.
You can't make it "bigger". Akhand Bharat is a concept that will cease to exist if it grows to include Chinese or Russian territories. It would simply be "union of asia".
Petty tactics to gain goodwill. If the king really wanted to help someone, he would have done it discreetly. An affair between him, the recipient and god.
This is just petty.
