When did India and Pakistan get the A-bomb and missiles capable carrying one?

The atomic bomb (1945) and liquid fueled ballistic missile (1944) are not exactly state of the art technology. If you have the money and are willing to take the international condemnation the actual construction is no big deal. They built their own. India has the better bomb designs. Pakistan has a more primitive bomb, but has better missiles to deliver them. North Korea and Iran are both using bomb designs provided by the Pakistanis.

Wrong. The Chinese supplied training and the knowledge to the Paks. China’s hedge against the hated Indians.
