Re: Pakistan arms sales, ops, doctrine, etc

Why are we only thinking about the Pakistani Navy getting a nuclear submarine ?
China may not have the balls to give then a nuclear submarine but it might arm one of their subs with a SLBM or dedicate a nuclear sub that would be under Chinese Navy but work for Pakistani Navy

On knowledge based on Dateline Kargil,the Air Force mated WW2 bombs with infra red ray kits.The aircraft would throw out a beam and the bomb would follow it and destroy its target along with PGM's.
