India surpasses Pakistan in Nuclear arsenal: SIPRI report

India now possesses more nuclear weapons than Pakistan, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute's (SIPRI) annual review for 2024.

The report on global armaments, disarmament, and security revealed that the United States leads in nuclear capabilities, followed by Russia, the UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel.

SIPRI's analysis indicated that India had increased its nuclear arsenal, surpassing Pakistan in the number of warheads. Both countries are involved in ongoing efforts to modernise their nuclear forces.

While India traditionally aimed its nuclear strategy at Pakistan, there's a noticeable shift towards bolstering longer-range capabilities, potentially extending to targets within China.
