Pakistan to overtake Britain as world's fifth largest nuclear power

[Mercenary]

An utter waste of resources.

Building and maintaining and guarding nuclear weapons costs a lot of money.

And besides when are we ever gonna use them?

Its better to invest in Arming our Infantry with new assault rifles, machine guns, so they can take on and wipe out these TTP animals.

What good is a nuke infront of TTP ?

There is no way to definitively tell if this news is true, as if any nuclear-weapons state announces when it's going to increase the nuclear arsenal. Most likely this news is false and just sensationalism.

You know what and I bet many Pakistanis are thinking this ( the educated lot here) and going - "this is nothing to be proud of we need economic investments and not have the military once again suck the country dry"..

you only need 1/3 of what you have to blow up India and India only needs 1/3 of what it has to blow up Pakistan.

* shakes head* the IMF board upon hearing this must be thinking- what are they doing?

where are the brave voices on this forum and in Pakistan calling out stupidity like this from the military?

yes you are right, but then they think about the safety in economy and then they think 1971, pakistan was doing much better economically than India and didnt spend too much on even conventional weapons but look what happened. So now we think "Its security first stupid"

Answer to the Question "Why Pakistan need so many Nukes"


a) There are rumors spread by our enemies that our nukes are not safe just to keep pressure to denuclearise us one day.
b) Right now according to most of the people India is the only enemy what if someday any other some other country attack us from one front and India thinking of it good opportunity attacks from another front.
c) What if the world war 3 scenario arises ?
d) Israel want no muslim country to be strong enough to be threat for them ( Example of Iraq nuke facility destruction )
same was the plan with Pakistan nuclear facility and same is the current plan against Iran.


We need large number of nukes so that we can spread it to different locations if some of them got destroyed by enemy we could have response to that because no can destroy a whole country (every location) once and for all.

Another aspect that we have a lot of stockpile that it becomes almost impossible to de-nuclearise us.
.
and those who think we donot have delivery system they can also be developed with the passage of time as right now there are rumors but who knows it can be brought to reality.

Pakistan needs to build more and more bombs as Pak is under constant spy radars. It needs to build more Hydrogen bombs, Electro-magnetic bombs, neutron bombs.

It should have clear policy of using them. Its only a guarantee to Pakistan's survival.
