#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.

In providing a worldwide threat assessment to the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Vincent R. Stewart, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, discussed Pakistan’s expanding nuclear delivery systems.

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.

#3 To the Hindoos we Pakis will sock it
With our new little Daoud nuke rocket.
Inshallah, it may veer
Clear across the frontier
Till they drop an Agni in our pocket.

#4 You'll sing a different song when one of these battlefield nukes ends in the hands of AlQ, Besoeker.

#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.

#7 So far, Besoeker, the policy was "throw the dog a bone".

#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?

#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!"
