Abstract
A new dimension to Indo-Pakistani nuclear rivalry is fast emerging at sea. As India's negotiations with Russia for the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines near completion, flight tests of a new generation of Indian naval missiles are proceeding apace. On 23 November, India conducted a sea-based test of its new supersonic and potentially nuclear-capable cruise missile - BrahMos - for the third time in as many weeks. While Pakistan will be hard-pressed to match such capabilities, these developments will boost Islamabad's own aspiration for a sea-based nuclear capability, thereby further complicating South Asia's already complex security dynamic.
