A terrible picture emerges in the mind as soon as the atomic weapon hears this word. Even though this weapon has been used only once or twice in history, but its presence has become a big power to decide the direction of international politics and security. Let us understand in simple language what is the atomic bomb, how it works, and what things are needed to make it.

How is the atomic bomb formed?

The atomic bomb is a weapon that makes great destruction by releasing excessive energy from nuclear processes. There are two types of it in the scientific language, one in the process of nuclear fission (fusion) in the other. In simple terms, in these processes, the reactions inside the atom suddenly leave a lot of energy in a sudden and controlled manner, which produces a huge explosion, sharp heat and radioactivity.

Making any atomic bomb usually takes things like uranium or plutonium. Especially the fragmentation of nuclei of uranium-233 and plutonium-239 comes out heavy energy. U-233 and Pluto-239, the process of nuclear fragmentation of these Issotops is the source of bomb.

For which work atomic bombs should be used

Getting nuclear capacity for any country is not only technical, but also political and economic decisions. Many countries have adopted it due to security-worry, regional strategic balance or political reputation. On the other hand, in view of the destructive human and environmental consequences of nuclear weapons, many attempts are also being made to stop their spread globally.

Institutions like NPT i.e. non-proliferative treaty, IAEA and various bilateral-bilateral agreements work in this direction. Through these, it is an attempt to ensure that nuclear technology is only for peaceful use, such as for electricity, medicine or research work.

Effect of nuclear weapons

The effects of nuclear weapons are very broad and long-lasting, immediate explosion, fire and heat as well as long-term health and environmental disadvantages from radioactivity are major impacts. Effect on fetal development, risk of cancer, contamination of agricultural land and social destruction are some forms that do not recover the affected areas for decades. This is the reason that due to human reasons, their control and disarmament is also emphasized.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed an important security agreement on 17 September (Wednesday), under which the two countries said that the attack on each one would be considered an attack on both. This deal will strengthen Saudi’s security through Pakistan’s nuclear weapons options.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif signed the agreement in Riyadh, which further strengthens the defense relations of the two countries. The agreement includes things like mutual defense, nuclear security and financial assistance. Saudi also gave Pakistan a loan of $ 3 billion, which will support Pakistan’s economy.

This deal will strengthen the anti-Iran strategy

Experts say that this deal strengthens the anti-Iran strategy. Saudi described it as essential for regional peace, but it is also aimed at controlling the threat of Iran’s nuclear program and Huti rebels. The agreement came a week after the attack on Israeli’s Qatar, when Gulf countries felt less confident in American security. In such a situation, Saudi turned to Pakistan for not getting security guarantee from America. However, the question is also arising that if Iran-Saudi war happens, will Pakistan be involved in the war against Iran on behalf of Saudi.

Who is more powerful in Iran and Pakistan?

According to Global Firepower 2025 data, many interesting facts have emerged compared to military power between Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan’s population and active military forces are more than Iran. Pakistan has 654,000 active soldiers, 550,000 reserves and 500,000 paramilitary, while Iran has 610,000 active soldiers, 350,000 reserves and 220,000 paramilitary forces. However, Iran’s defense budget is around $ 15.45 billion, which is twice the $ 7.64 billion of Pakistan. Iran also has a lot of capacity of natural resources, oil and gas reserves.

Pakistan’s dominance is visible in terms of air and land power. Pakistan has about 1,399 aircraft and 2,627 tanks, while Iran has 551 aircraft and 1,713 tanks. Iran has more number of submarines in naval power (8 vs. 8 of Pakistan), while Pakistan has more total number of ships. This comparison shows that the balance of power between the two countries is quite important at the regional level and the strength and weaknesses of both have to be taken into account in any conflict.
