You are bang on the money @amardeep mishra, anyone seriously suggesting that Pakistan has a working land based miniture naval reactor is either outright lying or out of their minds.The problem with nuclear reactors though is,if "there exists" one,the whole world will know about it! It is a freaking power plant-although a smaller one! It is not as easy as lets say hiding your nukes
@Oscar
Again,"if it exists" the whole world will know about it as it is a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT and not a warhead that you can hide in trucks or something else! The sheer size required(I am talking about the building and required infrastructure etc) to construct the naval prototype will reveal if pakistan does indeed have a naval reactor. And to be honest,no one under estimates pakistan. We very well know "how" pakistan acquires itz strategic weapons--but at the end of the day-what matters is,no matter how illegally pakistan would have eventually realized her nuclear ambitions--it can still wreak havoc!
But here we are not talking about nukes,we are talking about a "nuclear plant" that cant remain hidden for long.Btw,how do you think you will hide a complete nuclear power plant?
The world watches these developments very, VERY closely. It is not as easy to to conceal such efforts as many here are wrongly assuming, there is a very strict control on the very specific equipment needed to operationlise such a facility, not to mention the fact that such an almighty R&D effort WOULD have very distinct signatures.
If Israel is able to track the developments of Iran/Iraq/Syria's nuclear/chemical production programs then you had better believe the US and India are able to also.The argument that AQ Khan was able to acheive something "similar" in the 70s/80s in regards to Pakistan's nuclear weapons is an entirely false equivalence (nuclear bombs =/= nuclear reactors) and anyway I think we can all fairly assume non-proliferation efforts have come a LONG way in the past 30 years and it is not only governments that watch these things closely but independant monitoring groups.
If I was a Pakistani it would take a lot more than simply "take my word for it" these things are happening to be convinced but some are SO desperate to induldge their fantasies. It is frankly an insult to our intelligence that someone, no matter how senior they may be on PDF, are expecting us to buy this nonsense.
