According to most estimates Pak has more than 100 nukes...and based on ur response I assume that except for the titles u didn't bother to read the research papers I provided u.
The studies aren't about Pakistan using a 100 nukes on India. The study is based off both India and Pakistan exploding a total of 100 Hiroshima sized nuclear bombs at each other...and still the effects are alarmingly hazardous.
So imagine what it would be if Pak/India used all of their nuclear arsenal. While the actual numbers of nuclear devices each country possesses have never been disclosed...most experts have suggested that both countries have somewhere between 100-150 nuclear weapons. This means that on the lower end if both have a 100 and launch those at each other that would be a total of 200. That's twice more than what the study is based on. Or if we go with the higher end then that would be 300...three times what the study is based on.
Also u should know that if 200 nuclear devices(still assuming them to be Hiroshima sized in terms of yield) go off in India/Pak scenario...the negative effects would be more than doubled
...and in the same manner if we go off the higher end of 150 each and 300 nukes go off the negative effects would more than triple. It is not a linear relationship bcuz the environmental effects come into play.
So all ur BS claims about Indian population urban vs rural areas and Pak's nukes not covering all of Indian landmass etc. go out the window. U clearly have no idea about how nukes work and all ur discussing somewhat barely touches on their primary effects. U should really read up on secondary and tertiary effects of nukes going off...though based on ur continued ignorance displayed here even after I provided u with research papers I doubt u would actually read anything.
Use the Nukemap. The effects are clearly mentioned in that.
Most nuclear attacks targeting the population will be air burst. The fallout from air bursts are very limited. The air will clear up in a few weeks.
Read the link I posted properly again.
Yes so according to u I should ignore the published research papers of actual scientists who have dedicated their lives in these fields to first become experts and then dedicated more time for these studies, used computer models to arrive at their conclusions...all bcuz some internet keyboard warrior troll claims that these scientists are from anti-nuclear lobbies. What's ur qualification btw...why should I believe an iota of very ignorant claims u r typing here? Care to elaborate on ur educational background or ur actual field experience?
Pretty much all the nuclear material you see in open source is from people who are not involved in the nuclear weapons program because such people are not allowed to share information of any type to the general public.
The link u have provided is hilariously short on providing concrete evidence. First up what qualifications does the author of this book have for me to even consider his "opinions". How did he arrive at this conclusion? Is it based off of other research papers(from actual scientists)? If so where are the citations(since I would like to read them)?
Secondly this isn't a research paper...it says Chapter 1 and the book title at the very top...
U r the first person ever(who I've debated) that has tried to counter a bunch of research papers with some chapter from an obscure book.
Do u know the difference between a research paper published in a respected journal and a book that anyone can write(whatever they want in it) and publish it? This level of ignorance just makes me think I'm wasting my time arguing with u.
Click on "About the Author" on the left. Read the testimonial there.
In any case I would ask u again...if Pakistan is so weak conventionally and unconventionally against India...what's stopping India from taking back its claimed land and destroying Pak?
Why are you in such a hurry to get destroyed?
North Korea is so much weaker than the US. Why hasn't the US attacked North Korea yet?
There are only two possibilities...
1) ur claims are utter BS...and what's stopping India(and has stopped India in 2008 and the aftermath of Mumbai/Uri/etc attacks) is a credible threat of Pakistani nukes and a MAD scenario.
Pakistan has been imploding from within. More Pakistanis have died due to Pakistan's policies without India having to lift even one finger. We are not going to do anything to upset the apple cart. Please feel free to screw up your own country.
If the above isn't the case somehow...and we assume ur idiotic claims are true about India's "immense power" over Pak...and India has still not taken its claimed land from Pak then that only leaves the second option
2) India is impotent and cowardly
So which is it then?
Neither obviously. The same reason why the US has neither attacked N Korea or Iran.
War is the last option. And we have no reason to go to war anyway, we are very happy with the status quo and have no intention to change that. We haven't attacked Pakistan and taken all the occupied parts simply because we have no reason to at this time. Even during Kargil, we did not try to change status quo. We like status quo. Something has to change radically for the status quo to change.
Our first objective is to make the Pakistani public lose faith in the Pakistan Army. That's why the hawkish stand by India on the border. We have to completely discredit PA in the eyes of the public, which includes the undesirable public figures within Pakistan as well. That's why PA has so vehemently denied the cross border raids and still continue to lie to the Pakistani public about the current border situation. It will all eventually blow up in their faces. Can you imagine what will happen if PA's inability to handle India is revealed to the Pakistani public? An internal rift within PA will be far more damaging that anything India can do short of a war.
When Gen Rawat said he will call Pakistan's nuclear bluff, look how quickly ISPR reacted to that by insulting Rawat's position. ISPR's reaction does not befit that of a "real" nuclear power. Compare that to the weekly threat to destroy India using nukes. What do they say about dogs that bark again? Everybody in the PA knows that allowing two million Indian troops into Pakistan is not a desirable environment for them. After all, businessmen are businessmen and soldiers are soldiers.
So why should we go to war with Pakistan again?
