@The Deterrent
mate do you have any idea what is the blast yields of our warheads
Smallest could be subkiloton-1 kiloton (Nasr warheads), estimated by multiple analysts.
As for largest, back in '98 Pakistan aimed for ~40 kiloton, but evidently didn't achieve that objective. Given the modernization of design & manufacturing, and the availability of Plutonium as fissile material, not only the warheads have been miniaturized but also their (expected) yields must have been increased to the desired level. But it should be kept in mind that Pakistan will not go beyond that, as it is enough at strategic level deployment against counter-value targets.
