i guess we should also thank India whoz war mongering, hate and weapon race in our poor region persuaded Pakistan to achieve this milestone.

Such close-quarters spying efforts are expected but nothing significant in comparison to what Syria, Iraq and Iran experienced in terms of sabotaging efforts.Our agencies were on top of the game and still are. One of my relatives in IB caught at least a dozen foreign pay rolled agents snooping around the nuke sites. They tried their best and the Jews even paid for the murder of a Pakistani nuclear engineering student studying at Imperial College London, he was stabbed to death.
But I know for a fact our spies were operating in Israel (and still do )and had Israeli nuke facilities targeted within Israel.
Excellent read
I would rather say if the enthusiastic, passionate & determined ZAB (raheema ullah alaih) did not make it a personal mission and goal, we won't see a nuke program other than a few civilian power production units.
But poor ZAB paid the price for his mission to empower his beloved Pakistan.
kindly elaborate!Pakistan was able to develop nuclear weapons only due to Afghan jihad
That's not true mate...Israel tried, at least, twice to directly attack Pak nuke program using India but the plans were foiled through timely intel on both occasions thanks to Allah Almighty. Apart from countless spies and double agents caught by agencies working to sabotage it.Drawing parallels to the fate of the nuclear programs of Syria, Iraq and Iran, is not right, because Pakistani nuclear program was not subjected to sabotaging efforts of any kind. Syria, Iraq and Iran - suffered due to their close proximity to Israel and because these were active contributors to war-effort against Israel. To this day, Iran is.
Poor got security & peace of mind that the enemy being 8's larger in every aspect is unable to attack Pakistan. Furthermore, it gave them a prestige and respect among comity of nations.But poor ZAB paid the price for his mission to empower his beloved Pakistan.
Not entirely true. If Dr Samar was not taken off the project, we could have built the bomb around 1979/80. France had abandoned the Chasnupp-1 in 1977 but at that time the Kanupp-1 had produced enough plutonium to build a few 15KT nukes. Pakistan was put on sanctions in 1979 and then came the Pressler Amandement and the Americans were made to turn a blind eye to our nuclear program. During that time AQ Khan received enough funds to complete the infrastructure (KRL Kahuta and other nuclear facilities) needed to test the HEU based nuke. Cold tests were succesfully run between 1983-1986.Pakistan was able to develop nuclear weapons only due to Afghan jihad
Please do some research before making ingnorant remarks. You know zilch about Bhutto's dedication to the bomb.It's propoganda to keep Bhutto alive
ZAB is the only politician who derserves some credit and ofcourse the army. Ganju, Bibi and all the other crook leaders in between would long have compromised our nuclear capability. Too much credit is also given to AQ Khan who started from scratch with his HEU programme in 1976. Dr Munir and Dr Samar were close to developping the PU based bomb when ZAB appoached AQ Khan. Not the best choice considering the fact that our latest nuclear arsenal is using plutonium which has higher yield and comes in smaller size compared to HEU devices.

Rumor has it that we actually did explode an underground nuclear device in China in 1986 in the presence of General Zia ul Haq. He is the only foreign leader to have attended a nuclear test in China.

Again you know zilch about the history and commitment of ZAB and the Army to the nuclear program. Nuclear apartheid only came into existance when India tested the bomb in 1974 (Smiling Budda) and the NSG was formed. It took 3 years for Washington to force France to halt the Chasnupp-1 and another 2 years to fully abandon it. We had gathered enough know how and tools before the sanctions came in 1979. Most of the (off the shelves) imports were possible because of their dual (civil and military) use and no alarm bells were ringing till one of AQ Khan's ex colleagies spoiled the beans for us and the shipment of centrifuges from Switserland was intercepted.Due to Afghan war US did not tried to stop Pakistan nuclear program otherwise they would have sanctioned Pakistan
and developing nuclear weapons in 70s are lies spreaded by Benazir she used to say my father told me in jail that now Pakistan is a nuclear power
ppp jiyalas say Bhutto was hanged because he wanted to make Pakistan a nuclear power and Zia was a Cia agent

CIA had no clue about the progress till 1979.
Allah aapka bhala kare bhai. I rest my case.CIA had no clue about the progress till 1979 because there wasn't any considerable progress till 79
Bhutto was khusamdi politician nothing else
no sir (kanupp) was and is under iaea safeguards and it was and still is impossible to steal a few grams of plutonium. At that time pakistan was unable to build its own candu type reactor so much so that we were unable to produce heavy water in significant quantity so dr aq khans enrichment route was our only shot at that time.ZAB is the only politician who derserves some credit and ofcourse the army. Ganju, Bibi and all the other crook leaders in between would long have compromised our nuclear capability.
