ISLAMABAD: Pakistan remembered the 27th anniversary of its sixth nuclear experience, which was held in 1998 in the remote desert of Kharn. The test was made just two days after five nuclear blasts in Chagai on May 28, a strategic move that was a strategic move to exceed India’s nuclear posting and was firmly established as the first nuclear power in the Muslim world.
According to the World Earthquake Surveillance centers, the Kharn blast registered two powerful nuclear blasts. In a special conversation with the Jang Group, the head of the team behind the tests, Dr. Samar Mubarak, revealed the key insights about the planning, implementation and impact of this historic event.
The sixth nuclear test was more than just a continuation – it marked a turning point. The compact nuclear device tested in Kharn, now a warhead of the Shaheen I missile of Pakistan, created a shockwave felt in the Karakoram mountains within millions. Some international analysts initially interpreted the earthquake data simultaneously.
Pakistan’s nuclear display was a memorable achievement of scientific health, ethics and national discipline. Unlike India’s objectionable and exaggerated Pokhran tests, Pakistan demonstrated reliable and certified ability under the leadership of scientists like Dr. Samar Mubarak. Despite speculations about the second earthquake wave in Khran, Dr. Mubarak made it clear that this was the natural result of a successful blast.
With the successful completion of the sixth Test, Pakistan emerged as a higher nuclear power not only as a peer, but also in India. This test changed the strategic landscape of South Asia and affects the balance of power in the region.
In a detailed interview, senior journalists Hanif Khalid and Dr. Mubarak inherited the nuclear program, which began at the winning tests of May 1998 after the 1971 defeat, and its leading role in the Hindu Pak war of 2025. The Atom Energy Program was launched with the intention of making Pakistan’s defense irreparable, which led to decades of research and development.
Dr. Mubarak mentioned that on May 14, 1998, led by the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the Cabinet Defense Committee approved a series of six nuclear tests in response to five Indian tests on May 11 and 13. PAEC member and DG of the National Development Complex.
The debate also mentioned the incidents of *May 2025 disputes *, in which India launched an air strike on Pakistan on the night of May 6-7, citing a terrorist incident at a tourist destination in Kashmir. Pakistan responded with less than 40 fighter jets against India’s 77, including six Indian aircraft, including Rafales, SU30, MiG 29 and Marriage 2000. Advanced electronic jamming, missile system, and air -driven radar played a decisive role.
On May 8, India tried to attack Israeli drones, but Pakistan’s ground -based electronic defense system neutralized 95 % of them. On May 10, India targeted three Pakistani airports with Brahmos cruise missiles and other guided weapons. In retaliation, Pakistan launched a massive counter strike using Fataha I and Fatah-II missiles after Fajr prayer, which eliminated 26 Indian military targets, including airports, installations, terrorist training camps and command centers.
In just two hours, the Pakistan Air Force left more ordinance on India than the entire 17 -day war. Even India’s S-400 defense systems were overwhelmed. The intensity of Pakistan’s response brought the region to the brink of nuclear war. World observers warned India that Pakistan’s nuclear missile force could provide immediate and destructive retaliation. As a result, India tried to mediate the ceasefire for a broker, and on the morning of May 10, the war ended rapidly.
Dr. Mubarak emphasized that since 1998, nuclear equality between Pakistan and India has worked as a powerful obstacle to a complete scale. He warned that India should accept Pakistan’s reality as a nuclear power with high traditional abilities. If India is engaged in corruption in the future or violates the Indus Waters Agreement, Pakistan is not only able to re -claim occupied Kashmir but also to control the region’s water resources.
