Google "Pakistan nuclear weapons"
You'll see that their warheads are mounted on short, medium and 
intermediate range ballistic missiles.

A typical missile is the Ababeel which carries 3 MIRVs of 500kg each.

Other warheads are mounted on cruise missiles launched from Mirage 
fighters- which absolutely do not have a payload of 10 tons.

Now, why don't you tell us where you got such a preposterous number of 
10 tons?
