Re: Is Pakistan putting a spin on fancy French N-locks?
Not surprising at all. Providing Pakistan with any form of nuclear technology will be tantamount to pissing off India, which nobody wishes to do due to its economic prowress but also because of its future role as a counter to China.
However the French as always are businessmen first. They always have been. Only a handful of countries have the need of the safety options the French are offering. If Pakistan won't buy them who will? They are basically looking at money and not taking it.
I am betting a civilian nuclear deal exists. However its details are being kept hush hush for the sake of not getting abused by the rest of the world.
