  • Pakistan's Tactical Nuclear Weapons
    Pakistan’s Tactical Nuclear Weapons: Operational Myths and Realities Jeffrey D. McCausland Introduction In April 2011 Pakistan conducted a test of a new nuclear-capable short-range missile, the HAFT IX (also referred to as the Nasr). Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations Directorate described the Nasr as a ”quick response weapon”1 designed to support “full spectrum deterrence” by countering India’s growing conventional force advantages.2 Four missile canisters are contained on each transporter erector launcher (TEL).3 The Nasr is reported to have a range of 60 kilometers4 as well as a terminal guidance system for improved accuracy.5 The development of short-range, nuclear-capable systems might entail parallel efforts to build small nuclear warheads that could be employed by a variety of new and existing platforms, possibly including cruise missiles and artillery against advancing Indian conventional forces. Some argue that notwithstanding the small diameter of the Nasr—roughly one foot—Pakistan might be pursuing boosted fission, sub-kiloton yield devices suitable for use on the battlefield. To have high confidence in such yields, Pakistan 1 ISPR, No PR94/2011, Press Release, Inter Services Public Relations, April 19, 2011, https://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-press_release&id=1721. 2 No PR133/2013, Press Release, Inter Services Public Relations, September 5, 2013, https://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-press_release&id=2361. 3 Strategic Weapon Systems (Pakistan), Jane's Sentinel Security Assessment - South Asia, October 6, 2014. 4 No PR94/2011, Press Release, Inter Services Public Relations, April 19, 2011, https://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-press_release&id=1721.

  • Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons
    Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons Paul K. Kerr Analyst in Nonproliferation Mary Beth Nikitin Specialist in Nonproliferation August 1, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34248 Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons Summary Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal probably consists of approximately 110-130 nuclear warheads, although it could have more. Islamabad is producing fissile material, adding to related production facilities, and deploying additional nuclear weapons and new types of delivery vehicles. Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is widely regarded as designed to dissuade India from taking military action against Pakistan, but Islamabad’s expansion of its nuclear arsenal, development of new types of nuclear weapons, and adoption of a doctrine called “full spectrum deterrence” have led some observers to express concern about an increased risk of nuclear conflict between Pakistan and India, which also continues to expand its nuclear arsenal. Pakistan has in recent years taken a number of steps to increase international confidence in the security of its nuclear arsenal. Moreover, Pakistani and U.S. officials argue that, since the 2004 revelations about a procurement network run by former Pakistani nuclear official A.Q. Khan, Islamabad has taken a number of steps to improve its nuclear security and to prevent further proliferation of nuclear-related technologies and materials. A number of important initiatives, such as strengthened export control laws, improved personnel security, and international nuclear security cooperation programs, have improved Pakistan’s nuclear security. However, instability in Pakistan has called the extent and durability of these reforms into question. Some observers fear radical takeover of the Pakistani government or diversion of material or technology by personnel within Pakistan’s nuclear complex.

Senior Fellow, CAPS Introduction In March 2015 Pakistan carried out the first test of its most advanced 2750 km range, Shaheen-3 Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM)1. The second test for this missile was carried out on December 11, 2015. The second test was closely followed by a test of its 900 km Short Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM) Shaheen1A, on December 15, 20152. Shaheen-3 is an improved version of the 1500 km Shaheen-2 and can cover entire India. It is the longest range missile in Pakistan’s inventory and is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads. Shaheen-1A is an improved version of the 750 km Shaheen-1 missile. Pakistan has claimed that the Shaheen missile programme is indigenous but there are Image: Shaheen 1A being test fired from undisclosed reports that Chinese engineers have helped test range in Pakistan.

  • The Man Who Designed Pakistan's Nukes Just Died
    The Man Who Designed Pakistan’s Nukes Just Died – And No One Noticed by Pervez Hoodbhoy Riazuddin 10 November 1930 – 9 September 2013 When Riazuddin—that was his full name—died in September at age 82 in Islamabad , international science organizations extolled his contributions to high- energy physics. But in Pakistan, his passing was little noticed. except for a few newspaper lines and a small reference held a month later at Quaid-e-Azam University, where he had taught for decades. In fact, very few Pakistanis have heard of the self-effacing and modest scientist who drove the early design and development of Pakistan’s nuclear program. Riazuddin never laid any claim to fathering the bomb—a job that requires the efforts of many—and after setting the nuclear ball rolling, he stepped aside. But without his theoretical work, Pakistan’s much celebrated bomb makers, who knew little of the sophisticated physics critically needed to understand a fission explosion, would have been shooting in the dark. A bomb maker and peacenik, conformist and rebel, quiet but firm, religious yet liberal, Riazuddin was one of a kind.. Mentored by Dr. Abdus Salam, his seminal role in designing the bomb is known to none except a select few. Spurred by Salam Born in Ludhiana in 1930 the twin brothers, Riazuddin and Fayyazuddin, were often mistaken for each other. Like other lower middle class Muslim children living in a religiously divided community, they attended the Islamia High School run by the Anjuman-i-Islamia philanthropy. The school had no notable alumni, and was similar to the town’s single public and two Hindu-run schools.
