Pak moving ahead of India in nuke capability: Report
PTI
(Islamabad, March 25)
PAKISTAN HAS edged past India in nuclear weapons capability since the two countries conducted nuclear tests in May 1998, London-based Jane’s intelligence review reported.
India, which has grander national aspirations, moved at a slower pace in deciding and completing delivery systems, evolving procedures, tactics and doctrine for nuclear use as well as for ensuring effective control over nuclear forces.
Pakistan on the other hand moved quickly to implement effective systems and procedures for its more modest nuclear arsenal, Pakistan daily The News quoted the weekly as saying.
“In all these areas, New Delhi proceeded at a slower pace, insisting on creating an original Indian system. Pakistan has more fully implemented the lessons that it has learnt from already established nuclear powers,” it said.
Indian nuclear policies and forces are controlled by its political leadership, scientists from atomic energy commission and defence research and development organisation, it added.
“India views nuclear weapons as necessary for their political utility; their ability to bring international prestige and provide deterrence vis-a-vis Pakistan and China.”
But the political leadership has not fully thought through specifics of nuclear use or doctrine and does not view such weapons as possessing military utility and discounts the possibility of them being used on the battlefield, it said.
Contrary to this, Pakistan’s nuclear forces are controlled by the Army and have been more fully incorporated into the country’s overall military strategy, the weekly said.
