| Pakistan Wants 'Battlefield' Nukes to Use against Indian Troops |
| 2015-02-10 |
| In April 2011, Pakistan first tested the Hatf-9 (Nasr) missile, which it called a âShort Range Surface to Surface Multi Tube Ballistic Missile.â In the official statement announcing the test, Pakistanâs military said the Hatf-9 missile was nuclear-capable and had been developed to be used at âshorter ranges.â âNASR, with a range of 60 km, carries nuclear warheads of appropriate yield with high accuracy, shoot and scoot attributes. This quick response system addresses the need to deter evolving threats,â the statement said. It added that the âtest was a very important milestone in consolidating Pakistanâs strategic deterrence capability at all levels of the threat spectrum.â Absolutely no reason this wouldn't end well, right? |

| #10 What phrase dismays any sane man? (Good guess, but it's not the adhan.) In lands pious and dry, Blood runs cold at the cry, "Here, brother, please hold my Koran!" |

| #8 So have they've figured out how to deescalate after popping the first one? Cause the tendency then is to throw everything you got at the other guy before your capability to launch what you got is removed. Or is this just another example of lower primate behavior (see I got a big one) that disengages the thinking process to see what happens when you do play with the stuff? |

| #5 Good thing we are still sending hundreds of millions in aid to this shithole. If they have money more new nuke platforms they don't need aid. Am I wrong to hope they would accidently nuke themselves. |

| #2 Nicely done General, but I thought monitoring nuclear and WMD proliferation was the chore of another agency. Could you pick up on the more pressing ISIS threat in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere, as well as the Homeland 'Cyber threat' themes of your predecessor please? Yes, that would be LTG Flynn, who along with his deputy, were for some odd reason summarily ushered into retirement. |

| #1 shoot and scoot attributes Someone is reading the marketing material. The size of the payload should tell the OP how far to scoot from a 30 mile missile. |
