For starters, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials, there is no way a complete nuclear weapon can be plucked from Islamabad’s stockpile, which is protected by about 10,000 of the Pakistani military’s most elite troops.

Additionally, the delivery vehicle — plane or missile — is also segregated from the warhead components.
