A new arrival.

Pakistan crossed the nuclear threshold to become a declared nuclear weapons state on the 28th of May 1998, after it detonated 5 nuclear devices in the Ras Koh Hills in Chagai Balohistan. This medal was issued to members of the Armed forces to commemerate the occasion.

If there was ever a medal that should make one nervous this would be it.

People don't realize just how tense the situation is between Pakistan and India, we're too involved in the Middle East to notice.

Thanks for posting another great medal Larry.
