Pakistan’s Ghauri and others are Strategic nuclear weapons (SNWs)are designed to menace large populations, to damage the enemy’s ability to wage war, or for general deterrence.
Let us introduce you to Pakistan’s latest Plutonium based Short Range Tactial Nuclear missile which will be used on Bharat if it tries its “Cold Start Strategy”. There are several types of Nuclear weapons. The two main categories are TNW and SNW.A Tactical Nuclear Weapon (or TNW) refers to a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations. Nasr is a TNW. Tactical nuclear weapons were a large part of the peak nuclear weapons stockpile levels during the Cold War.
Pakistani ISPR (Inter-Services Public Relations) describes at ast: “Nasr, 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.” The Hatf IX, named Nasr was developed by Pakistan’s National Development Complex (NDC). The Hatf IX Nasr has a range of 60 km, and is a solid fuelled battlefield range ballistic missile (BRBM) system developed by Pakistan. The missile’s existence was first reported after a test-firing on 19 April 2011.
According to Bharati strategy developed by Cohen, time would be the essence. The CSS calls for massive and rapid deployment of Bharati forces who would cross the border and capture Pakistani territory before Nuclear threshold is reached).
Manoj Joshi in India Today writes “Ordinarily, the ballistic missile called Nasr, with a range of 60 kilometres, would not be particularly threatening considering Pakistan’s multilayered missile arsenal that covers most of India and beyond. Indeed, in terms of range it is much like our own Russian-supplied Smerch.”
Not sure why this is new news, but noted Nuclear expert Hans M 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. “On Pakistan, the picture is clearer in the sense that it is developing the Nasr that it claims has nuclear capability..”As for the role of a nuclear Nasr, it appears intended for use against invading Indian troop formations..” Pakistan is manufacturing low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons. These weapons, according to Indian experts, are meant to be used along the border in case of any skirmish with the Bharati Army.
Hans M Kristensen of Federation of American Scientists said that Pakistan is developing non-strategic or tactical nuclear weapons to check the asymmetry with India in conventional capabilities. Russia, US and France are the other three countries that are developing tactical Nukes. It does appear that India has tested a tactical nuclear warhead.
Joshi says: “In strategic literature, short-range tactical nuclear weapons have been considered particularly destabilising. “A quick response system” is not something you talk about when you discuss nuclear weapons which ought never be used, and if they are, should be employed only in the gravest of national emergencies.
Weapons of such range are held at the level of a Corps which is a large battlefield formation. Many situations can arise at a Corps level battle which may appear to be dire emergencies, but are not so when viewed at a higher level. No doubt the Nasr’s employment will be controlled by Pakistan’s national command authority, but given their range, they would have to be deployed in the forward edge of battle where the fog of war is thick and the chance of miscalculation high.”
While the Indo-US Nuclear deal still languishes in paperwork and may never see the light of day the Sino-Pakistan Nuclear deal has surprised Bharat with its fourth Plutonium reactor at Khushab.
According to the Times of India “Kristensen and Norris described Pakistan’s “new weapon” in the report as a 60-km ballistic missile launched from a mobile twin-canister launcher. “Following its first test launch in April 2011, the Pakistani military news organization, Inter Services Public Relations, described the Nasr as carrying a nuclear warhead ‘of appropriate yield with high accuracy’, with ‘shoot and scoot attributes’ that was developed as a quick response system to ‘add deterrence value’ to Pakistan’s strategic weapons development programme ‘at shorter ranges’ in order ‘to deter evolving threats’,” they said in the report.”
The Indian security establishment was shocked last year after news broke out, as confirmed by satellite images, that Pakistan had already completed much work on the fourth reactor at Khushab. “It will add to their stockpile of low-yield weapons which, they believe, will help them dominate any low-intensity conflict with India,” said SD Pradhan, former chief of joint intelligence committee, adding that Pakistan was following the Chinese in acquiring such weapons.
- Many have assumed that the red lines would be the threat of our Strike Corps – each with three to four divisions – striking deep into Pakistan cutting its north-south communications links, or endangering a major city. To avoid this, as well as to deal with the kind of challenge the country confronted with the attack on the Parliament House in 2001 and on Mumbai in 2008, the army began talking of a Cold Start doctrine.
- In analysing this doctrine, Gurmeet Kanwal has argued that shallow division-sized attacks across the international boundary, with the aim of luring the Pakistan Army and degrading it with massive ” ground based aerially delivered” fire power would not cross any red line. However, if Pakistan fields tactical nuclear weapons to counter this, the very definition of red lines would change and, by threatening their use, it would ensure that the Indian army does not mass its firepower for the purpose intended.
Pakistan has perfected missile technology and has the capability to produce Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. During recent trips to China, both Islmabad and Beijing have signed accords to develop space technology. In a few years, Pakistan will be shooting rockets at the moon. Those rockets will also be ICBMs and be used as such if needed.
Indo-pak peace moves futher away.
Not because of pakistani TNW but due to ‘ catch up game’ usually pushed by ‘indian elite’ upper caste for whom indo-pak peace means end of bharat as ‘ show case of hindu greatness’ and return of muslim factor in indian politics–IOW ( in other words) muslim’s domination. The inner feeling of educated hindu is ‘ 1947 freed them from muslims and their Aryan brothers british’; they love staus quo–no war no peace and want to jump to moon NEVER thinking abt ” POORS/farmer’s suicides etc”–this corrupt middle class runs hinduism plus secular show.
Makes me sad because pakistani elite knows insecure hindu mind very well; India will never swallow pakistan even if all pakistanis reconvert to ‘lower cast hindus’.THEY feel most insecure with afgans/pathans–natural fighters- grand kids of Ghaznavi/ghouri/Nadir shah etc.
Peace , my dream and also of other hindu/muslim peacenicks becomes remoter with such developmets. i will though continue to pray. The article though is pretty informative; thanks.
Pakistan Zinda Baad. India will be perished Insha Allah. The Indian doges are killing innocent kids, males females within occupied Kashmir. Insha Alllah the day is not far when india will be disintegrated. Pakistan Znida Baad, Pak Army Zinda Baad
The opportunities of liberating Kashmir has slipped away many times in the past from Pakistan.
The reason for current ‘aman ki asha’ though unreal and deceptive is due to the threat of a Sino-Indian skirmish that may push the two Asian giants to the brink of war is so real that it has set the alarm bells ringing in the top echelons of the Indian government. And, uncannily, the warning about the gathering war clouds comes just a few months before the 50th anniversary of the real war that had broken out between the countries when China launched simultaneous offensives in Ladakh and across the McMahon Line on October 20, 1962.
Hope Pakistan will not loose this opportunity.
Assalamu-Elekum
I feel pity for Pakistanis they never understand any 1st use of nuclear weapon in any form will give licence to India to wipe out its existence.
KASHMIR, a CHINESE PROVINCE.
Pakistan and india, dont deserve and also cnnot afford to support a profoundly defecit state; Both posture for politics.India maintains half million army–and cracking up as other states are deprived. Pakistan raises the islamic bogey to keep india defensive. Kashmir, will remain a burden even if indo-pak merge in future.
History reveals that Kashmir was settled earliest by ” chinese culture” abt 2000 BC–famous as Barzhome sites 15 in #. Later on in abt 5-8th cent AD–Pak plus Kashmir was a Chinese tributary but a buddist state–Famous HARSH VARDHAN was chinese shatrap.
Besides, Kashmiri language is is extension of Xinkiag system and pple of Ladakh,and north kashmir are chinese looking. Caucashoids are colonizers not natives.
Looking from ecnomic perspective–chinese can afford to manage/feed the kashmir, creat jobs and develope and connect it with silk route; Part of Cninese Kashmir ‘ aksai chin’ is already with them.
Need a rethinking/ reorientation besides the desi-hindu/muslim dialogue of deaf.
Pakistan has 2nd strike and 3rd strike capability. If Pakistan can wipe out Bharat–many thinks it is a sacrifice worth taking. $1 Billion Muslims would survive and take over Bharat again.
@ Akbar Khavees
” $1 Billion Muslims would survive and take over Bharat again.”
We welcome your obsession for india.
We were waiting for ur clarification. We knew it the day you ran away bk in 47
You may be adjusted as lower caste hindus as jamil( sathiyaa gaya budddha) quotes.
BTW how 1 billion will survive & take over radio active India after ur surgical nuclear missiles hit us?
Where does Pakisan’s 2nd & 3rd strike capability goes when US drone bombs your sarzameen. Before dreaming to take over Bharat first ask your coward Pakistani Army dare to establish control over entire area of Pakistani state. Then save lives of innocent civilians (Muslims) dying everyday in Pakistan killed by Muslims trying to prove they are better Muslims. Dreaming is Good since nothing Good happened in entire history of Pakistan and nothing significant seems to happen in future as well. When an enitre population feed on hate and lies what more can be expected. Keep day dreaming…………
Mishra,
You don’t pity Pakistan but your frightened over first Strike but we stand by it.
Our first strike and hope it never comes to this will devastate India, whose poor defence system may or may not deliver a second strike.
Knowing Indian technology what makes you think your response will be successfull and a third counter attack from Pakistan would annihilate the last ever Hindu state ever.
You have more to loose Hindu so stop your bravardo and accept your fears.
@ akhbar navees,
Keep day dreaming. ” IF PAKISTAN can wipe out bharat ”.
that was poor Jinnah’s dream , so the first thing he did was creation of ISI and then attacked kashmir, he thought he was smarter than Nehru.
everyone knows what happened in 1948.
Whereas Nehru was busy shaping india’s democracy , railways, telecom,cement,steel,IIT insitutes ,ISRO.
Today what India is due to Nehru’s hardwork 50 years ago.
Jinnah created Pakistan because he was power greedy and he knew he could never win over Nehru, so he resorted to the short cut way by bribing the jagirdars and waderas of Muslim league to become the head of the state.
He was basically hippocrit, (neither democrat, theocrat).
Today the state of Pakistan is like a paraplegic, wheel chair bound patient who has got strong flexing biceps , yet cannot use it because can get beaten up by a baby , who can hurl a stone from distance and cause facial injuries and run away.
Yo Mishra, you think that a threat of annihilation can scare us. Its a glourious honour we all wish for. You becareful on the other-side, because a small 5KT Tactical one over himalyas is good enough to submerge India under sea for next 10,000 Years
>>everyone knows what happened in 1948
Yes everyone knows. Half of Kashmir was liberated
Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan were taken away from the occupiers!!
Bharat is ready to implode like the USSR and explode like Yugoslavia. Read “post-Hindu” India by Dr. Koncha. Once the Dalits convert to Islam, Christianity and Buddhism, the rump elite of Bharat will be surrounded by Muslims, Buddhists and Christians and hostile Naxalbaris which control 40% of Bharat.
Assam and Kashmir are already up in arms
Rope a dope and eliminating monsters is a strategy. Taking on a Superpower is suicide not worth the effort.
Nothing significant? We created Pakistan, liberated what is today more than 300 million Muslims, gave hope to the 450 million Dalits that they could do the same, instigated Assam and the Seven Sisters and Kashmir to get freedom–and provide nurturing and succor to the Central Asia states which became independent
We created space for 180 million Pakistanis to develop grow and achieve Nuclear status. Bhaarati Muslims live below Dalit status in Bharat (see Justice Sacaar report produced in Bharat).
In the future PakAsia will materialize per plan.
Its not obsession? Obsession is defined on hanging on our site under different names and posting articles under pseudonyms as a paid employee of Bharat Inc?
You and your ilk are obsessed. Why visit our site? We take no interest in the goings on in Bharat. You are the one obsessed with every little leaf that falls in Pakistan.
No one ran away from anyone. Your demented thinking and temple indoctrination makes you think that 1947 was some sort of a traumatic event. The people of the Indus have been living together for 7000 years as a political unit while the Ganges Valley people were living in jungles and never really achieved a civilization
Muslims will take over after waiting as many centuries as it takes for the radiation to settle down. Once again the New Baabur, Gahuri, and Mumhmud will settle down and rule New Hydrabad, New Ahmendabad, New Awadh and others
The opposite of love is not hate–its indifference. Just go away and leave us alone.
South Asia was Pakistan’s past, Central Asia is the future as PakAsia
@khavess as we all know your country has snw tnw icbm, then as your guardian america is enemy of islam, why you just dont press button on your tnw and hit USA In EMI. As our india is inferior in nuke leave us and flex your muscles with super powers. Khavees your long due wish of taking dip in filthy ganges is may be a millenium away as you confess and agree. Even after such a dip you will still untouchable. Khavess your this site runs on india hatred admit this.
Not sure what you are talking about. Sir! Most of your comments don’t make any sense.
Are you giving advice to Pakistan on what to do. Dont waste your breath.
Your advice is rejected. Thanks anyways
Whether we are untouchable in your mind or not is not material to us. Your mentality is displayed by your comments baring naked your thoughts and ideas.
We criticize all countries of the world. Scroll up. We criticize many countries including Saudi and Turkey. Waqaas critcized Pakistan. Not sure why Bharat should be exempted from this criticism. Your progeny of a so called “democratic” country should have the ability to deal with such criticism instead of stooping to the level of the gutter which you do. It just shows your character!
@ Baqwaas
This may make sense to you
Plz make following additions to your ICBM/TNW/SNW for shooting Moon
1) Tie a Beard madrassa taught PHD mullah as Nose Cone
2) Ballast your INNOCENT road raging PPL in ICBM fuel Tank
3) Put your IVC Bull Logo on Such ICBM
4)And Give lift off to such rocket.
5) Hopefully it will reach your lauching pad back
6) If not possible, aim your own ppl in swat/vaziristan by US drones.
7) You can still hit your main enemy cum guardian USA with your ICBm in EMI
India was and not match to your Power in Rocketary or sending any thing that crosses earth’s escape velocity
One word response: Ghauri
cool dude agreed
But Have Babur, shaheen, Hatf, Nasar failed?
Is Ghauri chinese/North korean?
@akhbar navees
keep day dreaming. this is what we want you people to do .be obcessed with india.
we will do the rest
@ Alansaralhaq ‘fear’ ….. Huh… If your coward army have b***s ask them to take Siachen back, remember we Indians kicked you out of Kargil, and also ask your navy dare take Sir Creek. Don’t talk about first, second and third strike capabilities. Pakistan have to remain intact to try all those options.
@ Akhbar Navees, yes everyone knows what has happened in 1948. Indian forces pushed Pakistani rag tag army after Maharaja Hari Singh signed the instrument of accession on 26 Oct 1947. Today India control 60% of the formerly Princely state of J&k. Pakistan occupies 30% and China your guardian occupies 10%. Kabhi to chach Bol liya karo, Khuda ke pass Jana hai bhai ( not my brother). Forget about Assam and other six sisters Ulfa has surrendered and we are kicking out Bangladeshi Muslims. Check the history pages Assam defeated Mughal army and was always a Hindu (Ahom ) ruled state.
Nuclear bomb doesn’t guarantee your Pakistan’s integrity. 4th generation warfare is on and nuclear weapons are nothing more than liability. Pakistan is wining the war……. Huh ……lol.
@ Nebula
We shot moon into two with ALLAH’S leave 14 centuries ago.
We traveled across the seven Heaven with ALLAH’S leave 14 centuries ago.
We have the access to Star Gate with ALLAH’S leave. You do not.
All the garbage you mentioned about ICBM and others have become obsolete. Proof….Afghanistan.
Ever heard of Sun Tzu or Sun Wu or Sunzi.
Pakistan has better strategy than Sun Tzu, Insha’ALLAH.
All the Chinese with name Hu, Ha, Mo, Mu and others are Muslim behind the mask besides the one already known. That amounts to 130 Millions not counting Hu, Ha, Mo, Mu and Mozli. They are just itching to come and say Hello to you.
India is absolutely irrelevant for Muslims, merely a bump on the road. What Muslims have or will have due to mass awakening, you and your Allies do not. Muslims are needed elsewhere, Insha’ALLAH.
Muslims GUARDIAN is ALLAH and none other.
Tell your Hindu masses the truth, that sky is not supported on Bull’s horn.
Tell your poor Hindu masses the truth that Sun is not pulled across the static Earth by 7 horses.
Tell your poor Hindu masses the truth that there is no such mountain as Mt. Miru that is thousand times higher than Mt. Everest.
Tell your poor Hindu masses there is nothing Holy about Ganga that is nothing but filth.
Tell your poor Hindu masses that there is nothing Holy about fire and stop burning your poor brides to death for sake of money.
Assalamu-Elekum
Given the trolls crawling from under the dirty rocks along the dirty plains along the dirty Ganges this post has you rattled.
So the usual diatribe :).
You have one Hindu entity, when that i wiped you will seize to exist. The Muslims will always be here my dear red dotted folk.
>>Today India control 60% of the formerly Princely state of J&k. Pakistan occupies 30% and China your guardian occupies
What happened to the other 40%? You may not know this but —that territory was liberated!!!!! and today exists as Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan! Yes the rag tag army defeated the British/Indian armies and liberated the territory without weapons, with knives and home made swords.
>>kicking out Bangladeshi Muslims
Good luck with that!
Most of West Bengal will be a Muslim majority area soon with Urdu as the state language.
Brihot (greater) Bengal is inevitable! Awami League will be kicked on the elections.
The two headed Muslim snake encircles Bharat!
Nuclear war defeated Bharat in 1998, 2002, and 2010 when Bharati soldiers could not cross over.
One the US leaves, Pakistani borders wil once again extend to the Amu Darya–it will take a few years to kick out the remnants! Karzai is already shopping for houses in Mumbai
So now you respond under Amrit Rao.
What is your obsession with Rupee News.
Get a life and be on your own site hinduunity.org
We dont want you here. Go away. Fly buzz away! Dont waste our time
We dont give a hoot about your issues.
Hataf IX and Nasar should not bother you!
Shoo fly shoo!
Two word response
Its Pakistani
Even if it was Korean it still keeps your regular army away and awake at night thinking up of Cold Start and other nonsense.
We will beg borrow or steal to stay independent.
Important:
NASR has not been developed by National Development Complex (NDC) but by another organization working on similar lines.
What is funny is that Indian media is Pakistan centric. How is such a giant and “rich” country like India scared to death of a meager nation that is “falling apart” that is one sixth its size?
The elephant is really scared of the mouse.
Please provide authenticated documentation on “another organization working on similar lines”. Rupee News stands behind its sources and story
Our missiles are as potent as those real Ghazi warrior they are named after.
Known to the world…
While Indian missiles are as insignificant as their namesakes who like their potency are “unknown” by and large wants you scratch away at the illusion of myth and legend.
Dear ALL ( indian Hindus )
Reality bites but in Case of Hindu in India obsession to hate Pakistan go check any video loaded by any Pakistan you will see filth and venom by Indian Hindu extremist, no wonder wordy ping fire animals and river Ganga makes unstable and smelly on every record now India Pakistan near future battle is not about India or Pakistan it’s about righteous black or white, true & false from Kashmir to goa Indian menace has to be whipped and cleaned, in a recent survey done by international agency Pakistan was rated much more happier nation compared to India and America just o and check Indian comments, no wonder they end up burning after burning their whole life accumulating money, gold and thinking to hide and worshipping money and gold they are already lost just we need to pull the wall down and make our defences strong soon we will be leading the caravan
