'Good Cover, Close To…’ Why Pakistan Raced To Build Kirana Hills Nuclear Site Post-India’s Pokhran-1

Описание: India’s rumoured strike at Kirana Hills, which reportedly houses Pakistan’s nuclear weapons or related fissile material, has sent several powerful messages, analysts say. According to reports citing satellite data, a precision airstrike — likely using a BrahMos Block III cruise missile- might have been launched to strike the Kirana hills.
It delivered a message to the Pakistani establishment that no location, no matter how historically protected, is immune, analysts say. If reports about India’s strike on Kirana hills are true, analysts say that India has not just neutralised a threat — it has demonstrated a ‘terrifying’ new capability.
The dust over Kirana Hills may have settled, but the tremors it has triggered in strategic circles will echo for years, as per observers.
As India reeled from the Pokhran-I test of 1974, New Delhi’s first nuclear test, Pakistan raced to build a deterrent, say analysts. Without the luxury of large underground sites, Pakistani scientists turned to “cold tests”, simulations of nuclear explosions without the fission reaction, as per reports.
