Pakistan has more nukes than India, shows new infographic

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

WASHINGTON: Pakistan had about 120 atomic weapons, 10 more than India, in its nuclear arsenal last year, according to a new interactive infographic unveiled by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Designed by the Bulletin, founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project, the infographic tracks the number and history of nuclear weapons in the nine nuclear weapon states.

The Nuclear Notebook Interactive Infographic provides a visual representation of the Bulletin's famed Nuclear Notebook, which since 1987 has tracked the number and type of the world's nuclear arsenals.

Having reached a peak of over 65,000 in the late 1980s, the number of nuclear warheads has dropped significantly to a little over 10,000, but more countries now possess them, it shows.

According to the infographic, the United States and Russia both have about 5,000 weapons each.

France has 300, China 250, the United Kingdom 225 and Israel 80. North Korea has only conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.

"I don't think people truly understand just how many of these weapons there are in the world," said Rachel Bronson, executive director of the Bulletin.

"The Interactive is a way to see, immediately, who has nuclear weapons and when they got them, and how those numbers relate to each other. It is a startling experience, looking at those comparisons."

The authors of the Nuclear Notebook are Hans M. Kristensen and Robert S. Norris, both with the Federation of American Scientists.

In the most recent edition of the Nuclear Notebook, the authors discuss the Notebook's 28 year history and describe how sometimes host countries learned of foreign nuclear weapons on their soil from the Nuclear Notebook.

Over 28 years of weapons analysis, the Nuclear Notebook column has revealed surprise nuclear activity and spot-on arsenal estimates while becoming a daily resource for scholars, activists and journalists.

"We wanted a way to communicate those numbers visually, because the world we live may be data-driven, it's also visual," said John Mecklin, editor of the Bulletin.

"The new infographic makes this vital information even more accessible."

I guess it doesn't matter who has more Nukes and India doesn't need many to counter Pakistan, if any how a Nuclear war happens which is quite impossible.

One day, nukes of both countries will go in nuclear waste because I don't see any nuclear war happening in near or even far future.

Pakistan surspasses India's nuke count: report

WASHINGTON: Pakistan had at least ten more atomic weapons than India in its nuclear arsenal in 2013, The Times of India reported on Tuesday.

Impossible to count any country's actual nuclear arsenal down to the 10's.

As far as we can assume India's capacity to produce nukes is several times larger than Pak's. Also our
requirements are larger as we've got both Pak & China (another nuclear power) to potentially deter, AND we've got a much wider range of delivery systems to cater for (including SSBN-based arsenals).

It is logically a folly to believe we would have an N-arsenal smaller than Pakistan, but if that's
what GoI wants the world to believe, they've done a good job. No reason to believe why we would maintain a small arsenal when we can easily build a several hundred warheads, maybe a 1,000+.

 

[Diggy]

You can spend all your money in making nukes which will never be used. We just aim to have a conventional superiority over you , we won't be fighting a full scale war it would a small scale (kargil type). We won't cross those red lines which might lead to nuclear escalation.

wrt to pakistan we should be focusing on the following

> Air superiority , which is a must (currently we have the edge but the gap has been narrowing since 2001)
MMRCA was supposed to solve that problem but it has been stuck for a very long time , TEJAS , AMCA , FGFA if properly worked out can be a real achievement.

>Ground forces and troop mobilization. (cold start)

>Navy doesn't really play a role so excluded.

After a point the actual numbers cease to matter
More important to have reliable delivery systems and high survivability

 

[Whirling_dervesh]

Nukes are a curse

 

[denel]

And do what with it? You cannot improve lives of people with this. Any fool who thinks such stupidity as exploding these needs to realise the effects of fall out which are never contained especially in close proximity.
Focus on education, health and infrastructure. With education, you will overcome the quasi-mullah view to the universe and world. Instead of pushing this money into a cesspit - have you ever considered putting money into issues which are the base of your country's implosion - mullah training, removal of madressas, providing clean water, clean health facilities including teaching doctors about basic sanitation/autoclaves/sterilisation to clamp down hard on hepatitis C and drug addiction.
Learn to respect education and stop being like goats following the whims of farts that come from Saudi or India; grow up and be counted as a responsible nation.
