Pakistan will be in big trouble if India directly attacks…, generations could be destroyed due to…

The recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on 22 April has further escalated tensions between India and Pakistan, pushing relations between the two countries to a dangerous turn. As many as 26 people lost their lives in the attack. The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that discussions of war have begun. As Pakistan is threatening nuclear retaliation, India has also indicated a strong response.

In such a scenario, the big question is if India decides to respond, should it limit its action to the border? Or should New Delhi directly target the very capability with which Pakistan is threatening the world – nuclear bases? Experts believe that if India aims to neutralise Pak’s nuclear power, it must avoid scattered action and focus directly on Pakistan’s nuclear bases.

Pakistan Is Increasing Its Nuclear Stockpile

As per a report by Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Islamabad is rapidly increasing its nuclear stockpile and preparation has also been made to make weapons and launch them at all three levels, that is  – land, air and sea. The main focus is to enhance its ability to attack every corner of India. The report states that Pakistan’s ‘full spectrum deterrence’ strategy includes all three types of nuclear weapons – strategic, operational and tactical. Missiles are being prepared keeping in mind to launch it from anywhere. Notably, these bases are very close to the Indian border such as Gujranwala Garrison and Pano Akil Garrison, which are only 60-85 km away.

Locations Where One Strike From India Could Ensure Total Destruction

Gujranwala Garrison: This garrison of Pakistan is just 60 km away from the Indian border. Pak has deployed tactical nuclear missile systems here, such as Nasr (Hatf-9), for a quick launch. Its range is so much that Punjab, Haryana and Delhi can be directly targeted.

Pano Akil Garrison: India’s western border can be targeted from this base in Sindh province. Launchers of missiles like – Babur and Shaheen are often seen in satellite images. The spot has space for about 50 TELs (launching trucks).

Akro Garrison: The base has six special bunker-like garages for missile launchers. Two cross-shaped underground structures built underground confirm that serious nuclear operations can be carried out from here. TELs of Babur cruise missile have also been seen in this garrison.

Sargodha Garrison: A site in Pakistan, integral to the nation’s nuclear program since the 1980s, houses over ten underground bunkers and associated infrastructure. A nearby facility, the Sargodha Weapons Storage Complex, stores nuclear weapons.

Khuzdar Garrison: Pakistan’s construction of three new TEL (transporter erector launcher) garages and underground weapons storage facilities in its southwest has raised concerns in India due to the base’s strategic location.

As per the report, if India targets these Pakistani central nuclear sites in a pre-emptive attack, then Pak’s nuclear capability could be completely destroyed.
