Budowa potęgi jądrowej? : przypadek Pakistanu

The article shows the most important endeavours of nuclear forces creation. It begins with threat analysis, continues with making a decision on nuclear weapon building, developing a doctrine to use it and ends with head and bomb production and providing military units with them. The article mentions also problems concerning command and control of nuclear weapon and follows difficulties that Pakistan faced trying to build its nuclear forces in the last decades. The analysis of subsequent stages and current political and military situation proves that Pakistan is in an early phase of building a nuclear power. The economic situation of this country is so bad that the continuation of the armed forces nuclear power may lead to an economic disaster. The author concludes that building nuclear weapon contributed to decrease Pakistan’s military potential and therefore worsened its security. Moreover it introduced the risk of unauthorised and unplanned use of mass destruction weapon.
