近日,印巴间已经相持数月的军事对峙再次变得异常紧张,双方都宣称不惜使用核武器捍卫自己的权益,这使得核战争的阴影再次笼罩在这块饱经战争磨难的南亚次大陆的上空。 由于印巴两国的核武器数量相对较少,因此两国对核武器数量严格保密,奉行所谓的“模糊性”威慑。实际上两国目前装备的都是与美国20世纪40年代末50年代初的早期设计类似的裂变型核武器。科学家估计它们的爆炸当量在0.5万～2.5万吨之间。与此相比,美国在广岛投掷的核武器当量是1.5万吨,而长崎的是2.1万吨。虽然核武器设计较为原始,但由于两国不断的军事冲突对核武器产生了强烈的需求,两国核武库一直在不断膨胀壮大。
Recently, the months of military confrontation between India and Pakistan have once again become extremely tense. Both sides declared that they did not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to defend their rights and interests. This has once again shaded the shadow of the nuclear war over the sub-continent in this war-torn South Asia. Because of the relatively small number of nuclear weapons in India and Pakistan, the two countries strictly control the quantity of nuclear weapons and pursue so-called “vague” deterrence. In fact, both countries are currently equipped with fission-type nuclear weapons similar to the early designs of the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Scientists estimate their explosive equivalent between 5 and 25,000 tons. In contrast, the United States dropped 15,000 tons of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and 21,000 tons in Nagasaki. Although the design of nuclear weapons is rather primitive, the nuclear arsenals of both countries have been constantly expanding due to the intense demand for nuclear weapons due to the ongoing military clashes between the two countries.
