How many atomic missiles Pakistan have?

Well Pakistan started Nuclear Programe and extended through the hard work of its own and brilliant engineers to maintainthe equilibrium of power in the region and possible attack of its neighbours and far neighbours. Pakistan at present working on Uranium, Plutonium, its various isotopes, thermobomb, deuterium and tritium, cesium-137, strontium-90, and some synthetic elements, etc.

The U.S.-based Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) estimated that Pakistan had built 24-48 HEU-based nuclear warheads with HEU reserves for 30-52 additional warheads. But this counting is far behind actual facts since Pakistan's Nuclear program is secret, secured and fully protected that even friend of Pakistan could approach. The NRDC's and the Carnegie Corporation of New York's estimates of approximately 50 weapons are from 2002-03 estimations. In 2000, U.S. Military intelligence estimated that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal may be as large as 100 warheads. The actual size is hard for experts to gauge owing to the extreme secrecy which surrounds the program in Pakistan.

According to a US congressional report, Pakistan has addressed issues of survivability in a possible nuclear conflict through Second Strike capability. Pakistan has been dealing with efforts to develop new weapons and at the same time, have a strategy for surviving a nuclear war. Pakistan has built hard and deeply buried storage and launch facilities to retain a second strike capability in a nuclear war.

It was confirmed that Pakistan has built Soviet-style road-mobile missiles, state-of-the-art air defenses around strategic sites, and other concealment measures. In 1998, Pakistan had 'at least six secret locations' and since then it is believed Pakistan may have many more such secret sites. Time and again, US agencieis and secret agencies of the world confirmed that Pakistan nuclear program is secure and fully secret.

Why were missiles sent to Cuba?

To avoid war between the Soviet Union & the United States. The Soviet Union also realized the mistake of putting its nuclear weapons in Cuba where Castro could gain control of them.

Also the Soviet Union was building submarines that could launch nuclear weapons against the United States, so the weapons in Cuba would not be as important as before.
