Jittery about Pakistan??s tactical nukes, India admits to and refines ??Cold Start??

Pakistan now has more nuclear weapons than Bharat??perhaps even more than France. This creates colossal problems for Bharat??s Cold Start, ??Pro-Active? and Pivot and Strike? strategic plans. While it used to take Bharat months to mobilize its forces, the Bharati Generals now seem to think that they can spring into action in a week or so, striking deep into Pakistani territory without actually holding Pakistan land??in other words, acting under the nuclear threshold, but at the same time inflicting losses on the Pakistan Army.

Pakistan??s Nuclear program has been Uranium based. The Chinese Nuclear program is Plutonium based. Pakistan??s Uranium based program was based on enriching Uranium using Gas Centrifuges??cheaper technology which none of the other Atomic powers had used before. After perfecting the larger Uranium based devices, now Pakistan has begun to miniaturize its weapons using Plutonium based bombs.

Delhi is a bit jittery about Pakistan??s nuclear program that focuses on ??low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons.? These Plutonium based weapons would be used to decimate Bharat??s ??Cold Start? strategy that banks on rapid movement and deployment of Bharati forces.

Pakistan??s fourth reactor at the Khushab military facility is problematic for Bharat. This stops Delhi from invading Pakistan. Pakistan has the capability to add at least eight to 10 such weapons each year. Apparently the Pakistan are following the Chinese model of owning low-yield nuclear weapons. These tactical nukes are the ??Cold Start? buster mechanism which will provide the Pakistani military a flexible response in case of an escalation with India and allow it to dominate.

Once Khushab is up to speed, Pakistan will be able to produce 35 Plutonium based tactical nuclear weapons per year. Pakistan is known to have a nuclear arsenal, however the quantity of the weapons has baffled Delhi.
