Will Pakistan become the 3rd largest nuclear power in the World?

[Max]

who in his right mind would like his country to be 3rd largest nuclear power in Pakistan? Its hoax, We dont have sources to be 3rd largest, we have fewer reactors then bharat or anyother nuclear power..

“Will Pakistan become the 3rd largest nuclear power in the World?”


Without ‘ICBM and nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBN)’. I do not think so.

 

[Rajeev_Anand]

What will Pakistan achieve after becoming the third biggest nuclear bomb. I am not saying nuclear power because most of the power in Pakistan is associated with bum not other uses.

 

[lightoftruth]

Pakistan should aim for the top.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

Pakistan should follow China model for its progress and development. China became a military super power first before it became the financial giant. They build their ICBMs , their thermo nuclear warheads, to ensure that no one from outside can challenge them or interfere in their internal matters and their own indigenous path to national progress, before they went on to build their economy. The military might gives leverage when it comes to geopolitics and geo-economics. It is more important in Pakistan case because of the nature of our state and our core national ideology. In 80s it was understandable to keep Pakistan nuke/missile program under wraps and under ambiguity. But in present day and age, to keep on following the same policy is not making much sense. With this half cup full nuke status will invite more trouble and unnecessary noise towards Pakistan from other perceived bigger nuke powers. We need to be a full fledged nuke power with ICBMs and thermo nukes in stockpile. After that, those nations who are still having issues with us, who we might perceive a bigger powers then us, can be dealt with in covert and overt means under the shadow of nuke umbrella which should cover the whole globe.

He did not become - for the moment -.

Because to be must cover all spectra of deterrence (For all countries of the world because all countries are potential enemies - First : India, after USA, Israel, Russia, UK and France -).

So this information is totally ridiculous.

If Russia should target China, she will also target its greatest nuclear ally in the region (Pakistan).

UK and France are mutual allies of the US and vice versa in case of war with China. Finally
and if Pakistan attack one day israel. USA, UK and France will carry him assitance.

But most of Pakis dream to go to USA, UK and FRANCE. So if Russia behaves with China then it becomes the natural ally of Psakistan ?(capital of Pakistan is Beijing or Islamabad)


Worst of an arguement, plz dont fool Pakistanis...

Russia is not a friend of Pakistan or China, and conversely (Leadership and totally divergent interests in world).

In the field of nuclear deterrence. Everyone puts everyone as a potential target. You never know what the future is made.

A glaring example. Israel does not need Jericho III to its nuclear deterrent (All its potential enemies are not so far), yet it exists really.

Martin van Creveld - military historian - (David Hirst's The Gun and the Olive Branch, 2003):

“We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.”

It‘d be a waste if you have lots of nukes but do not have sufficient means to deliver. In addition the great risk of having nukes is lack of early warning of incoming missile attack and 2nd strike capability. A preemptive nuclear strike would aim at destroying the 2nd nuclear strike possibility of the enemy. A nuclear power without 2nd strike capability would only have limited deterence.

China was known to annually produce 1600kg of weapon grade uranium in the 1980s, it means China could have produced hundreds of nuclear war heads within one year. The exact number of Chinese nukes is classified. My guess would be more than one thousand. China is the only country that still is in possession and maintenance of thermonuclear weapons as hydrogen bombs. And just like others we have unknown numbers of tactic nukes such as neutron bombs and EM weapons. China is also developing global missile launch early warning system and anti-missile defence shield at home.
