COVERT INTEL: Saturday, India Bombed a Nuke Storage Facility in Pakistan

Happenstance video is circulating the Internet on social media, showing an India missile strike (shown above) that appears to have simply slammed into the ground near some hills. 

Turns out, it was nothing of the sort.  People watching the video have no idea AT ALL, what they're actually seeing.

India’s airstrikes on Pakistan’s Kirana Hills have raised alarms in the Intelligence Community over regional nuclear security, because it is now very clear that underground nuclear facilities may have been targeted.

Despite Pakistani authorities dismissing the Kirana Hills strikes as targeting only "empty hillside," newly surfaced satellite imagery and military assessments indicate otherwise.

The Kirana Hills hold historical and strategic significance for Pakistan.

It was at this very location that Pakistan is believed to have conducted its first subcritical nuclear tests in the early 1980s - codenamed Kirana-I.

The hills have long been speculated to house underground bunkers and storage sites, potentially safeguarding nuclear warheads and associated equipment.

Intelligence Analysts suspect this strike played a pivotal role in prompting the ceasefire.

The real question is the extent of damage inflicted on the facility by the Indian attack.

In general, even if a bomb directly struck a facility containing actual nuclear warheads, the chances of any of them detonating is about one in one million.   Warheads must be ARMED to detonate correctly.

In order to properly detonate a nuclear bomb, the explosive charges which envelope the nuclear core, MUST detonate at precisely the same milli-second so that the nuclear core is completely, and equally, compressed.  In that "perfect" compression, the core "goes critical" and the blast takes place.

The probability that a nearby explosion would somehow trigger the exact, precise, balanced explosion needed to make the core go critical, is almost unimaginable.

But triggering a detonation may not have been the goal; crippling the storage facility by damaging what's inside, was far more likely the goal.

If India damages enough Pakistan warheads, so they cannot be reliably used, then India can launch a nuclear first strike, confident that Pakistan cannot fire back with full force.

This strike by India upon a Pakistan nuclear facility indicates to many Analysts, India's intent to cripple Pakistan's nuclear deterrent FOR THE PURPOSE OF launching a nuclear attack.

THAT seems to be what India is thinking; and THAT is dangerous beyond words.
