India & Pakistan may have nukes but how will they deliver them, by mule? By shoe?

How about by missile?

Scroll down to read the article when you arrive at the link. Here is the pertinent excerpt.

The two nuclear-armed neighbours have been massing troops and armour on their border since India accused Pakistans military intelligence of masterminding the parliament attack by Pakistan-based militants which left 14 people dead, including all five militant gunmen.

Fernandes told the Press Trust of India that Indias array of missiles was in position.

Fernandes did not elaborate but media reports said the army had moved batteries of its surface Prithvi (Earth) missiles from their distant southern Indian facilities to the border with Pakistan in northern Punjab state.

The missiles have a range of 150km and are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
