April 15: Pakistan conducts test of a nuclear-capable short-range ballistic missile, Shaheen.

The launching failure came just a day after the test-firing of India's longest-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile also ended in failure.

Imagine, for example, hard-nosed Israelis agreeing not to retaliate against a sworn enemy who, unprovoked, fires nuclear-capable missiles at them.

The Republic of China strictly prohibits the transportation of nuclear warheads or nuclear-capable missiles into our waters.

This, together with the fact that "it is deploying four new nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, invites concern as to the scale and intention of China's nuclear upgrade".

Israel's nuclear-capable ballistic missiles are believed to be buried so far underground that they would survive a nuclear attack.

Pakistan test fires a nuclear-capable missile with a range of 1,500 km (930 miles), sufficient to reach most cities in neighboring India.

India test-fired its longest-range nuclear-capable missile on Sunday for the first time, government officials said.

(India tested a long-range nuclear-capable missile just yesterday.)

In fact, the only evidence that there were ever nuclear-capable missiles here turns out to be the little dilapidated guardhouse we're so fond of.
