Pakistan Wants 'Battlefield' Nukes, against Indian Troops

Wrong
Indian already tested there tactical nukes way back in 1998 shaki-3 &4 are all sub kiloton weapon's termed as experimental device are all TNW level
There is a reason India developed parhaar tactical missile to as delivery mechanism.

Negative. In '98, the 2 devices tested gave sub-kiloton yield, but they cannot be considered "tactical" as their weight and volume were too high. They were better suited for the Agni series.
Even if a tactical nuclear warhead design (which is miniature enough to be mounted on TBMs) exists, it hasn't been produced/ deployed/ put into service, because the Indian SFC has not deployed any type of theater ballistic/ quasi-ballistic missile.
 
Consider the following hypothetical scenario:
A large-scale terrorist strike happens in a major Indian city. Indian establishment decides to respond with brutal conventional force.
7 days after war declaration, IAF gains achieves considerable air superiority over Pakistani airspace and effectively disables PAF's nuclear capability. This happens while Indian Army's IBGs thrust deep into Pakistani territory, and capture strategically valuable landmass. Pakistan's National Command Authority decides to respond with nuclear strikes against the Indian stronghold over the captured area.

The air-arm is gone, so they resort to ASFC's missiles. Why won't they use Hatf-II/III? Because the Hatf-series has simply very big visual signature (big TELs, large number of support vehicles etc), is relatively inaccurate (CEP = 0.1% of range), and has higher yields (reduced yield warheads can be deployed, but that would be costly since expensive missiles are being used).
Here is where Nasr would step in. A small 6x6 TEL with upto two support/command vehicles can drive stealthily up close, launch 4x tactical nukes at the captured area in an even pattern and get out before the artillery responds.

This will provide both countries a chance to negotiate a ceasefire by themselves, if not then alarm the international community to enforce ceasefire immediately, and will effectively create a stalemate-type situation. If anything else, the ball would be in India's court, and what happens next would require a whole new pair of balls rather than a piece of paper stating the NFU.

India has the capability to develop tactical nukes, but hasn't produced and deployed them yet.

TT,

if your 7 days scenario is true---it is all done and finished for Pakistan. The tactical nucs are on the first day of war---actually they will be used as a pre-emptive strike on the coming indian columns to stop them 50 miles away from the border.

Once the IAF has air superiority---it already sees everything that is moving on the ground---.
 
TT,

You need to do a better job----if your 7 days scenario is true---it is all done and finished for Pakistan. The tactical nucs are on the first day of war---actually they will be used as a pre-emptive strike on the coming indian columns to stop them 50 miles away from the border.
I'm not the one pulling the strings, sir. It is just a hypothetical scenario. Of course some lines need to be crossed to initiate the nuclear strikes, and those lines include failure of conventional means of defense.
Once the IAF has air superiority---it already sees everything that is moving on the ground---.
Thats the reason why it would be very difficult to strike a settled enemy concentration in the presence of enemy's air superiority. Thats most probably why Nasr was designed.

you tested tactical nukes in 1998... and there was no press! and you developed its delivery mechanism after 15 years!

it will be in shortly it's there is reason prahaar is developed. it can carry upto 200kg of warhead to range more than 100km+
Prahaar (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
Faisalabad doesnt share any border with india..:(

Bhai,i know that.It can be the next target coz its close to Lahore.

Ever heard of hitting soft belly of an enemy first ? Invading Pakistan through Rajasthan is exactly that and your Indian army multiple exercises in Rajasthan clearly reflect that thinking.

I guess your common sense needs some refinement and enlightenment.

Pakistan Army isn't led by ISIS type Mullahs who will use TNW in Fertile lands of Punjab or radiate water supply of Kashmir.



As if Pakistan sitting lame duck eh ? or we don't have means to reply in kind !

The thing is that you cannot use the Nukes be it anywhere.Is there a piece of land in Pakistan which has roads but no humans?

Please go through Indian Rv series quoted above
By @kaykay their is series from mk1 to mK6 all types of warhead.

Well the official "reason" of developing Prahaar was to replace the outdated Prithvi-I ballistic missiles, and to offer flexible, long range and precise tactical response to the Artillery Corps.
 
As stupid as it gets.

What do they think?Nuking our IBGs will let them get away?India would definitely retaliate.

Moreover they will only nuke us when our troops have crossed the border so they will be nuking their own country and civilians.
In conventional war nukes are no good. It is a double edged sword.

Yes, your country will retaliate. Then we will retaliate. Then a lot of people will die on both side. You can kiss your world power dream good bye! For next two decades you will be waiting for radiations to reduce in your financial centers while we will be living in our deserts. Acceptable?
