Pakistan developing tactical nukes aimed at India: Experts
2012-09-27
Pakistan is developing non-strategic or tactical nuclear weapons to check the asymmetry with India in conventional capabilities, noted nuclear expert Hans M Kristensen of Federation of American Scientists said.

Kristensen and his partner Robert Norris have just published a report identifying Pakistan and China as among the five nuclear powers which either have, or are developing non-strategic nuclear weapons.

The other three countries identified are Russia, US and France. "On Pakistan, the picture is clearer in the sense that it is developing the Nasr that it claims has nuclear capability," Kristensen told TOI.

#1  And Pak BFF IRAN???

Meanwhile, oer in CHINA ...

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIAN MILITARY WEBSITE: CHINA HAS DEPLOYED 2000-KM RANGE DF-21C ANTI-CARRIER [ASBMS/ANBMS] MEDIUM BALLISTIC MISSLES CAPABLE OF REACHING THE DISPUTED DIAOYUTAI ISLANDS.

Again, the focus of US Politicos + MSM-Net has mainly been on Iran's INDIGENOUS = SELF-DEVELOPED TESTING + MANUFACTURE OF NUCWEAPS, NOT COVERT TRANSFER OF SAME TO IRAN BY THIRD-PARTY, ANTI-US GOVTS-STATES.

Iran's desired "Japan/Egypt" nuclear model = until such time that Iran openly has its own strategic and tactical nuke arsenal, for the time being it must depend on Nuke-armed foreign partners, Muslim or other, to deter or defend from US-Allied air attack andor ground invasion.
