I agree that Military pension n Nuclear program r different things but as Pakistani Nuclear program is primarily focused on making nuclear bombs rather than for civilian use, maybe thats why he wanted to sum it up together. Hope that clear up a bit.

INDIC wanted to know the total defence spending including military pensions n nuclear program n stuff. I had asked a similar question a few pages back so, i answered him.

Its actually $8.40 billion i mistakenly added Employee salaries(bcoz it was highlighted) again in the total budget. Here is the calculation : (627+132+4+52)/97 = 8.4 It includes Defence+Pension+SUPCARO+Nuclear @INDIC its $8.4 billion as per official figures.

If u'll add military pensions to ur defence budget u'll see that ur already spending around 3.5% of ur gdp on defence. Although its a good approach to check defence expenditure as % of gdp but not in case of Pakistan. U guys r spending roughly a quarter of ur entire budget on defence plus...

India is spending $10-15 billion for 10,000 MWs n not 1000 MW at Jaitapur, Maharastra. Even if we end up spending $20 billion at Jaitapur it would still be $2 billion per 1000 MW as against Pakistan's $9.5 MW for 1100MW....:)
