Pakistan does not have much land to fall back to, therefore their military policies are to react to threats with force and speed. If a war breaks out between India and Pakistan, each country will try to gain as much land as possible in the initial assault. This will be used to negotiate with the other party and it will decide who signs the statement of surrender. Pakistan, being of much smaller propotion, cannot afford to lose much land compared to India. If each side gains, say, 200 sq miles, it will be much harder for Pakistan to neogtiate any terms of peace as most of Pakistan's largest and strategically important cities are situated very close to the border. India on the other hand will still have plenty of breathing room before it starts to hurt. This is why Pakistan needs a significant deterrent to show that attacking it will not come without a heavy price and currently the number of war-heads will not cause as much of an impression as 200. Pakistani officials have also hinted that they will most likely use a nuclear weapon if invaded, "otherwise what is the use of a weapon if it is not used?" However, I'd (and I'm sure Pakistan and India too) rather not live to see this happen. I found a useful little table that predicts the outcome, if things do go south.

Yeah, the US had 23000 nukes and now they have 20000. Now, what difference has it made? Even having a thousand nukes is more than enough, so please do not talk of this kind of nuke reduction.

Of course, you would consider doing nothing against indian nuclear programme the wisest option for Pakistan, but in order to sell that crap of yours you have to go to Washington or Tel-aviv. Your definition of a fool is not aceptable here. Now, if you cannot comprehend that perhaps you should do something to enhance your IQ level.

Can cruise missile based nuclear warheads be Uranium based or do they have to be Plutonium based?

Actually, it depends on the designed yield and payload/range capabilities of the platform.

Pakistan makes two nuclear weapons available to Saudi Arabia
DEBKAfile, Political Analysis, Espionage, Terrorism, Security
With an eye on the nuclear arms race led by its neighbor Iran, Saudi Arabia has arranged to have available for its use two Pakistani nuclear bombs or guided missile warheads, debkafile's military and intelligence sources reveal. They are most probably held in Pakistan's nuclear air base at Kamra in the northern district of Attock. Pakistan has already sent the desert kingdom its latest version of the Ghauri-II missile after extending its range to 2,300 kilometers. Those missiles are tucked away in silos built in the underground city of Al-Sulaiyil, south of the capital Riyadh.
At least two giant Saudi transport planes sporting civilian colors and no insignia are parked permanently at Pakistan's Kamra base with air crews on standby. They will fly the nuclear weapons home upon receipt of a double coded signal from King Abdullah and the Director of General Intelligence Prince Muqrin bin Abdel Aziz. A single signal would not be enough.
Our military sources have found only sketchy information about the procedures for transferring the weapons from Pakistani storage to the air transports. It is not clear whether Riyadh must inform Pakistan's army chiefs that it is ready to take possession of its nuclear property, or whether a series of preset codes will provide access to the air base's nuclear stores. The only detail known to our Gulf sources is that the Saudi bombs are lodged in separate heavily-guarded stores apart from the rest of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
This secret was partially blown by Riyadh itself. In recent weeks, Saudi officials close to their intelligence establishment have been going around security forums in the West and dropping word that the kingdom no longer needs to build its own nuclear arsenal because it has acquired a source of readymade arms to be available on demand. This broad hint was clearly put about under guidelines from the highest levels of the monarchy.
Partial nuclear transparency was approved by Riyadh as part of a campaign to impress on the outside world that Saudi Arabia was in control of its affairs: The succession struggle had been brought under control; the Saudi regime had set its feet on a clearly defined political and military path; and the hawks of the royal house had gained the hand and were now setting the pace.

Pakistan tested Nuclear bombs in response to the Clinton inspired explosions conducted by Delhi. Pakistan has embarked on a program of minimum deterrence. This involves thwarting the Bharati Cold Start Strategy in its tracks, and keeping the Bharati forces at bay. The deterrence has worked not once, but on three occasions, in 1998, 2002 and in 2008. Bharati forces arrayed on the Pakistani border could not cross the border and had to withdraw in ignominy with their tails between their legs. These three retreats are not part of the Bharati narrative and most Bharatis have selective amnesia about them.
Reuters quoting an August 2010 report The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists describes the fact that Pakistan has more Nuclear Bombs and missiles than India. Most analysts believe that Pakistan has more than 300 Nuclear bombs.
The National Intelligence Estimate for Afghanistan and Pakistan in December 2008 said Pakistan was producing nuclear weapons at a faster rate than any other country in the world.
The Reuters story states that The Indians who conducted a nuclear test as early as 1974, thus,may be behind not just the Chinese, but also Pakistan in terms of the number of warheads, fissile material and delivery systems.
Pakistans Nuclear Program is growing exponentially because of the numerical superiority of Bharati forces, the US pacts with Delhi and other such factors. Pakistan has circumvented the Bharati dreams of superiority by mining its own indigenous Uranium, signing Civilian Nuclear deals with China and developing the most potent missile systems on the planet. All these factor provide it with deterrence that is unbeatable.
Reuters also reports that The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists in a report in August 2010 estimated that India had assembled 60 to 80 warheads and produced enough fissile material for 60-105 nuclear warheads. Pakistan is estimated to have assembled 7090 warheads and produced missile material for as many as 90 warheads. Chinas arsenal was estimated at 240 nuclear warheads.
Reuters reports that India and Pakistan exchanged a list of each others nuclear installations on Saturday like they have done at the start of each year under a 1988 pact in which the two sides agreed not to attack these facilities. That is the main confidence building measure in the area of nuclear security between the two countries, even though their nuclear weapons programmes have expanded significantly since then. Indeed for some years now there is a growing body of international opinion that holds that Pakistan has stepped up production of fissile material, and may just possibly hold more nuclear weapons than its much larger rival, India.

May be for you joke but may be for someone to get information and knowledge, we can't put every one on same level of awareness, many things are changed by decade.
Saudi Arabia is a brotherly country.
Pakistan S.A friendship has lasted the test of time.
Pakistani troops have performed the most sacred act of the defence of the Holy Muslim sites during the gulf war.
Half of Pakistan would march if it has to in order to defend the holy land.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Saudi Arabia.
