The French have delivered one of three nuke subs to Pakistan. One is operational. #2 just passed the deep water dive test. All the Paki nuke weapons are missile warheads.So what missile would be mounted in the subs that can deliver the warheads and would it be accurate, dependable? Do you have any guesses? Something from Korea?

The French subs use a methanol/liquid oxygen propulsion system. They are nearly undetectable. The choice of missiles won't have to be terribly long range to get the job done. Claimed cruising range is 12,000 nautical miles. The French will probably provide the missile platform to go with the sub. I would guess the Pakis will design their warheads to match the missiles.
