I love how I manage to unite the Indian and Pakistani nuclear communities against me. A true feat if I may say so myself. 1974 was not a “weapon” for very clearly technical reasons.https://twitter.com/mosharrafzaidi/status/987766947285741569 …

So the PAF was wrong? Or it was a “worst case scenario” assessment?
Depends on what they were claiming. If they were claiming that India could, in a short amount of time, produce weapons — it's not wrong. (Depends more on separated Pu stockpile than anything else.) If they are claiming they had weapons on hand, ready to use, then seems wrong.

It took India roughly 5 years to “weaponize”, ie develop Mirage-deliverable gravity bombs, after the decision to do so in March 1989.

Sure — but if the question is, could they have had SOME kind of deliverable capability earlier than that? I mean, I don't see why not. (It might not have been a very good one!)

Plausibly. Off the back of a cargo plane, if it survived the flight
