Pakistan is protesting, which is about all it can do, an arms deal between India and Russia. The Indians are buying a surplus 45,000 ton Russian aircraft carrier, four Tu22M3 heavy bombers and two nuclear submarines. The deal is worth some three billion dollars.

Pakistan only has about two dozen nukes and it's most reliable delivery system is aircraft.
