so. American and Israeli F-16s are nuclear-capable, so modifying any other model would not difficult. Pakistan is the only other F-16 operator who has nuclear weapons, so this hasn't been an issue elsewhere.[[/note]]

Pakistan began its nuclear programme after the Indian nuclear test of 1974 and this accelerated when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Its not known when exactly Pakistan became a nuclear power, however the period from 1979-1983 is a good bet. Certainly after the mid eighties all parties concerned treated Pakistan as a defacto nuclear power. In 1998, in response to the Indian nuclear tests, Pakistan tested on its own and became a declared nuclear power.

Pakistan has a variety of land based missiles, with both liquid fuel and solid fuelled systems. All Pakistani missiles carry two designations, the first one is ' Hataf <Number>' which is what the military refers to it and a second designation which is what the manufacturer uses. Hataf means spear in Persian.
