That's right, Pakistan has never tested a nuke. If they do, we will all know how crude their weapons are and they would be a laughing stock like N Korea.

There's a belief that N Korea got their technology from Pakistan, so their nukes may have been tested by proxy, and don't work very well.

Pakistan uses uranium for fuel, N Korea uses Plutonium, very different emissions. N Korea got their technology from the Chinese and Russians way before Pakistan's program.

Khan from Pakistan was an engineer in Europe and stole the weapons technology from his employer and managed to buy the critical inverters before they were locked down, otherwise Pakistan still wouldn't have the bomb.

Thank you Eisenhower for your "Atoms for Peace" program. We built Iran and Pakistan's first reactors. They sure behaved themselves didn't they?
