Pakistani should definitely build more nuclear warheads.

Agreed! But that method of testing requires cutting edge supercomputers. For Pakistan, China could probably be helping you out here.Its true, you cant be certain the device will work, if it hasn't been tested, but Supercomputers are being used everyday by the superpowers to test components of devices, to ensure their arsenals are still viable
Now, this is dependent on having a proven design, and just maintaining the components of that device that is known to work.
Neither India nor Pakistan successfully tested a hydrogen device in 1998.
but both sides are still building up the raw materials for these types of devices. This would lead us to belive, even if they don't know they have workable designs, they are taking their chances, and both sides are gleaning as much as they can from open sources as they can.
No it does not have. Check on the link.go and study deeply Shaheen 3 has GPS

I think Pakistan is banned from getting satellite signals for its missiles.
we must have enough numbers to destroy every major city/town of india at least two times over and then some
All military bases of the enemies of Pakistan rather across the world. leave innocent Indian public out of it. cant you see they are already cheering for us? lolwe must have enough numbers to destroy every major city/town of india at least two times over and then some
A new paper by two American think tanks titled “A Normal Nuclear Pakistan” argues that Pakistan could have the third-biggest nuclear stockpile within a decade and could end up producing 20 nuclear warheads annually.
Furthermore, the report, co-written by two scholars of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Stimson Center, notes that Islamabad is successfully competing with – and likely outperforming – New Delhi in the build-up of its nuclear arsenal.
“Pakistan operates four plutonium production reactors; India operates one. Pakistan has the capability to produce perhaps 20 nuclear warheads annually; India appears to be producing about five warheads annually,” the report states.
Pakistan is estimated to possess around 120 nuclear weapons against India’s 100. However, “Whether New Delhi chooses to compete more intensely or not, it is a losing proposition for Pakistan to sustain, let alone expand, its current infrastructure to produce greater numbers of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery,” the study finds.
The authors use the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race, which was partially responsible for bankrupting the Soviet Union, as a historical analogy. “Just as the Soviet Union’s large nuclear arsenal was of no help whatsoever for its manifold economic and societal weaknesses, Pakistan’s nuclear weapons do not address its internal challenges,” the study emphasizes.
The study also finds that while India enjoys an advantage in the production of fissile material due to its large power and prototype fast-breeder reactors, Pakistan dedicates more fissile material to the production of nuclear weapons:
In terms of total stockpiles of plutonium and HEU [highly enriched uranium] for nuclear weapons, India has about 600 kilograms of plutonium, while Pakistan has about 170 kilograms of plutonium and 3.1 metric tons of HEU. Assuming that each nuclear weapon would require five kilograms of plutonium or 15 kilograms of HEU, with existing stockpiles of fissile material India could theoretically construct up to 120 weapons, while Pakistan could construct up to 240.
Overall, however, India has a larger stockpile of plutonium than Pakistan, which will be an advantage for New Delhi in the long-run:
Plutonium is in most respects more desirable than HEU as a material for nuclear weapons, given that less of it is required for an equivalently powerful fission bomb, which makes plutonium warheads lighter and more suitable for delivery by ballistic missile.
Due to the larger amount of fissile material dedicated to the production of nuclear weapons, Islamabad could “have a nuclear arsenal not only twice the size of India’s but also larger than those of the United Kingdom, China, and France, giving it the third-largest arsenal behind the United States and Russia,” the authors argue. “Many observers have concluded that Pakistan’s rate of fissile material production (and assumed construction of nuclear weapons) gives it the fastest-growing nuclear weapons stockpile.”
Within ten years Pakistan could field 350 nuclear weapons, the report notes. According to Mansoor Ahmed, a nuclear expert at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad, quoted in the Washington Post, that figure is inflated. He argues that the more likely number is between 40 to 50.
“This report is overblown. However… what the world must understand is that nuclear weapons are part of Pakistan’s belief system. It’s a culture that has been built up over the years because [nuclear weapons] have provided a credible deterrence against external aggression,” he says.

All military bases of the enemies of Pakistan rather across the world. leave innocent Indian public out of it. cant you see they are already cheering for us? lol
Your government says that India has 2000 nuke material. Is the pakistan going to surpass that withing few years at a rate of 10 nuke every years? Is the pakistan going to surpass china, Bretain and france also who have numerous numbers of Nuke plants?
what does "massive retaliation" mean: only military targets, or also possibly civilian targets
Pakistan doctrine seems to be situation dependent and split on three levels; tactical, operational, and strategic
