Pakistan has developed tactical, or battlefield, nuclear weapons precisely because it knows the Indian military would never allow it to prepare for a full-scale nuclear launch in a major conflict. It’s not as if Pakistan could ready a nuclear missile while India sits idle.
This propaganda—that Pakistan would launch nuclear weapons on India while the Indian military remains idle and does nothing to protect its territory—has been promoted by Indian, Pakistani, and Western media to create a psychological deterrent to war. However, there is no truth to it, and the Indian military is well aware of this. That’s why they never emphasize Pakistan’s possession of nuclear weapons.
Now that you mention it, I remember that the escalation started with a terrorist attack in India in that video too. Coincidence or maybe not?

Indus Water Treaty suspended: How will it impact Pak?
Yes I saw that video
Written words carry their own weight. Govt needed an excuse to come out of the treaty and the incident gave just that. Irrespective of the infrastructure at present the abeyance of the treaty is a welcome step
We have been a very poor state with myopia... Israel sought refuelling permission for taking out Kahuta and other nuclear facilities, but we simply did not allow. The result can be seen..
I want to confirm something with you guys, for IWT is there arny clause where a single party can't leave the treaty? Like even if we want to we can't exit it completely?This
I too am waiting, BHAJIPAO was not chosen to be HALF-CONGRESS STYLE FUNCTIONING government.
If Pak uses a tactical nuke on an Indian formation, I dont think a strategic India nuke strike is a foregone conclusion. There will be several rounds of chai-samosa baithaks and international pressure will be piled on to give peace a chance. And then there is our peej praaaij aspirant!
If India invades Pakistani territory and remains there for months, Pakistan will likely threaten to use battlefield nuclear weapons on its own soil. India, however, has a clear-cut policy of retaliating with full-fledged nuclear weapons against Pakistan even if Pakistan employs tactical nukes within its own borders— a full-scale nuclear strike by Pakistan on India is never a possibility.
