Pakistan cannot launch nuclear bombs from sea while India can do it easily, this is due to...
(Image: New Delhi: There are 9 countries in the world that have nuclear weapons and these 9 countries include both India and Pakistan. Time and again, Pakistan has threatened to use its nuclear weapons against India. One such instance was during the recent tension between India and Pakistan, when Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif threatened nuclear attack on India. Despite having nuclear weapons, Pakistan has many weaknesses, one of them is that Pakistan cannot fire nuclear bombs from the sea. Let us tell you what is that weakness due to which Pakistan cannot fire nuclear bombs from the sea. There are only a few countries in the world that have the capability of nuclear triad, that is, such countries have the capability to launch nuclear attacks from all three mediums, land, air and water, in which the first one is land-based missiles, with which nuclear attacks are carried out. The second number includes bombs dropped from aircraft and the third number includes submarines or missiles launched from the sea to attack the enemy from the sea. Pakistan is capable of attacking in the first two ways, but if it comes to a nuclear attack from the sea, then Pakistan's weakness comes out in the open. Pakistan does not have any nuclear submarine yet that can launch a nuclear missile from inside the sea. This is Pakistan's biggest weakness. India has the missile capability of submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) like K-15 and K-4, which are capable of launching a nuclear attack from inside the sea. On the other hand, Pakistan is still far behind in SLBM technology. Due to low defense budget and lack of technology, Pakistan has not been able to acquire this capability yet. Along with this, the Pakistani Navy is smaller and less developed than India.
