Pakistan has secretly accelerated the pace of its nuclear weapons program.

The Washington Nuclear Surveillance Agency of the US International Institute of Science and Security collected a satellite image showing the images of cooling towers at Pakistan's secret Khushab-III reactor. completed. That means that within a few months this Pakistani plant may start operating, significantly increasing Pakistan's plutonium stockpile.

Pakistan's Ghauri Hatf V ballistic missiles have a long range of 1,300 km to take off during a test launch.

Khushab-III is the latest in a series of reactors built in Pakistan's nuclear weapons program. Khushab-III is located next to a Khushab-II factory that just went into operation in February.

Complexly produced plutonium can be used to produce small weapons but great damage. 1 kg of this type can cause explosions equivalent to 20,000 tons of conventional explosives.

In the recently released report of world famous atomic scientists Hans Kristensen and Robert Norris, it is estimated that Pakistan has assembled about 70-90 nuclear warheads compared to 60-80 warheads of India and has produced enough fission materials to produce many other warheads.

While India, Pakistan and Israel are both countries that have not signed the NPT, the Obama administration is suffering from China's plan to help Pakistan build two new nuclear reactors. . The Chinese voiced that they did not need permission from the Nuclear Suppliers Association (NSG) to sell the reactors to Pakistan.
