The disarmament treaty currently being negotiated between the US and Russia applies to deployed strategic warheads, along with their delivery systems, but that leaves out most of the weapons both countries are sitting on.


Nuclear weapons: how many are there in 2009 and who has them?


Russia...................... 12,987
US............................ 9,552
France......................... 300
Israel............................ 200
UK............................... 192
China........................... 400
Pakistan.............. 90
India............................. 75
North Korea...................... 2


Feel the Nuclear Power: Pakistan's capabilities!

Hi
Well may be this is what these people know but Pakistan has a very hefty number of nukes, sorry can't provide any link as such information is not on internet but you can figure it out yourself by going through certain facts which are as follow
1.In 2003, the U.S. Navy Center for Contemporary Conflict estimated that Pakistan possessed between 35 and 95 nuclear warheads. that is of 2003
2.In late 2006, the Institute for Science and International Security released intelligence reports and imagery showing the construction of a new plutonium reactor at the Khushab nuclear site. The reactor is deemed to be large enough to produce enough plutonium to facilitate the creation of as many as "40 to 50 nuclear weapons a year.

so this is just an example of want normal people know, the actual numbers are not available to public however since one of my teachers worked with the concerned ministry so i was told that Pakistan has fairly a large number of Nukes, that was the main reason India did not attack after Mumbai Attacks

Why didn't they go after North Korea when they first suspected them of a nuclear program? They didn't dare touch them, nor could they sanction them either. I guess they pretty much got away with it since China has got their back.

Iran on the other hand is getting war threats and sanctions. Hmm...

Also, on the aspect of Pakistan having more nuclear weapons than India:

Really, I do not think we should be celebrating. We have always tried to show off our nuclear arsenal as a deterrent to India's, but the fact that we now have more than them will not be addressed lightly by the rest of world.

Secondly, we may have a small jump ahead of India in missile technology, but that does not mean we should cool our heads just because we have around 15 more nukes. A nuke is nothing without a delivery system. We should concentrate on getting different kinds of nuclear missile technology, not the same old 'you shoot a nuke, and expect it to hit them.' I really think we should consider different aspects of the weapons closely such as stealth,speed, accuracy, etc.

We should have 'better' nukes rather than 'more' nukes.

There is a good reason why entire world views pakistani nuclear arsenal differently.... because you seem too anxious to use it. With power comes responsibility. Have any other "nuclear armed" country flaunted the idea of using nuclear weapons in an event of conflict? While India is committed to no first use policy the same is not true for pakistan.

Just remember.. in case when the tragedy strikes and Pakistan decides to exercise its nuke option, it may manage to slide a couple of strikes in India (causing wide destruction).. but in retaliation a couple of nuclear strikes back will wipe entire pakistan off the face of earth (given the size of the country)..

So please think responsibly. Also, history notes that all previous conflicts were started by pakistan, not India.

Remember: Pakistan, like Israel, has maintained the nuclear concept that if it's existence is under threat, only then will Pakistan resort to nuclear weapons. And if it does, Pakistan will use ALL it's weapons. Totally annihilating the enemy country, and itself in turn. This hoorara you hear about Pakistan using nuclear weapons first is just a sort of propaganda to satisfy the people that they are safe and strong and India cant dare try anything. Ex. an invasion

We saw this come into effect in the 2001-2002 Pakistan-India standoff. India completely backed off when Pakistan played around with the talk of using weapons if the Indian military dared tried any incursion into Pakistani soil. Protip: Pakistan's defense budget was frozen at this time to concentrate on other aspects to improve Pakistani society.

Just remember.. in case when the tragedy strikes and Pakistan decides to exercise its nuke option, it may manage to slide a couple of strikes in India causing wide destruction.. but in retaliation a couple of nuclear strikes back will wipe pakistan off the face of earth (given the size of the country)..

If India trys anything drastic, they know Pakistan will not hesitate to launch. So as long as India stays in it's spot, we do not have to fear nuclear warfare. Nuclear war will not end Pakistan, it will end South Asia.

So please think responsibly. Also, history notes that all previous conflicts were started by pakistan, not India.

Pakistan is thinking responsibly. We take the United States and China into consideration, and we know our limitations and so does India know its own.

So you are telling me 90 nukes are not enough to wipe out India too, is it just me or your blind patriotism getting the best of your judgement. I must assure you that in case both sides use nuclear weapons, both Pakistan and India will be wiped off the map.

Its understandable.. but I am yet to understand "Why" is there a perception with pakistani population that India will try to "Invade" their country? what has india to gain from it? when has india tried doing it?

In todays world, Its all about growth and prosperity within india. Our people (and government) are not focused on any conflicts.. they just want peaceful existance and want to work on promoting our image as a key global player (nothing wrong with that?)

We saw this come into effect in the 2001-2002 Pakistan-India standoff. India completely backed off when Pakistan played around with the talk of using weapons if the Indian military dared tried any incursion into Pakistani soil.

Well lets set the record straight on this one... it was "pakistan" that ventured in Indian territory (with NO PROVOCATION).. not other way round... and some facts uncovered later made some striking revelations with reagard to nuclear option being on table then as well , if Clinton would have not intervened and Sharif would not called on Musharraff..

If India trys anything drastic, they know Pakistan will not hesitate to launch. So as long as India stays in it's spot, we do not have to fear nuclear warfare. Nuclear war will not end Pakistan, it will end South Asia.

Again, that's working under a false pretext.. india does not want conflicts in the region..

Pakistan is thinking responsibly. We take the United States and China into consideration, and we know our limitations and so does India know its own

Amen to that..

Dude.. Honestly.. you think India will even allow pakistan a single stike? forget 90.. LMAO

India has far superior capabilities (PAD, BMD) as far as detecting a threat in advance and neutralizing it.. make no mistake about it. How much landmass does pakistan have as compared to India? well its just absurd making a comparison on this...

Be well and dream well..

Hmm so India has a God given power where they will wink and all our 90 nukes will vanish, thank you for proving me that you are a fanboy

And how exactly does India has far superior capabilities in detection, i am actually very interesting in knowing those. Please list them to me and provide their specifications, although i am quite aware of what radars whether land or airborne India possess but would love to hear it from you. Pakistan's land mass is irrelevant because Shaheen 2 and Ghauri 2 cover all of India, so even your most far fetch villages and cities are not immune to our missiles.

The reality is both sides have excellent detection capabilites, but the reality also is that they dont have a system that can neutralize each other's incoming ballistic missiles. Both sides possess extremely advanced ballistic missiles and even the US is yet to field an ABM which is 100% capable. So infact its your statement that India can neutralize our Ballistic Missiles which is absurd, if this was true we would have gone to war long time ago.

Be well and dream well..

I do dream well, thank you but the only difference is i dream at night . I am glad to know that India's Military Establishment does not share the same views as you, this is why we havent nuked each other.

Will "1" Shaheen be good to wipe entire country? or 2 ? or 3? Its not about the "reach" its "HOW MANY" you can fire... on the other hand.. 1 Agni or 2 Agni is more than enough for 80% of your cities.

Damn it.. look what you have done... you are making me think like you now.. It is destruction that you can all think of and feel good about... pakistan is not even close economically to India.. instead of competing on that front.. lets destroy the damn country so we can all live in poverty and share miserable existence together... very typical...

O god choice of screen name BTW...

India's space program is 100% indigenous, infact it is bringing revenue stream back to country. As far as nuclear sector is concerned.. with civilian nuclear treaty in place , India is already in process of investing billions in energy independence sector.
