Probably went too fast for me to follow. I didn't see the Israeli or
the South African tests.

I didn't know the South Africans had tests. I'm not too sure about the
Israelis either.

Whatever, your Sandman seems to have lost his capabilities for

Now there is the question if the Saudis have helped to pay for the
Pakistani nukes, and if they got some in return for
that...

Thanks. That seems to confirm that there was no test by South Africa.
I've been long aware of the Vela incident and to the best of my
knowledge the concensus is that it was of meteoric origin. The
suggestion has been made that the explosion was a test on Prince
Edward Island but an active volcanic peak in the deep waters of the
southern ocean does not seem to be practical site for a test.

Heh, heh.

It seems the South Africans built an underground test site in the
Kalahari desert. However, no tests were ever conducted there because
the US exposed the site after an SR-71 overflight. and threats from the
French who were in a deal to provide a nuclear power station.

There is no doubt that there was Israeli-South African collaboration in
the design and exchange of nuclear material. The big collaboration was
in co-development of ballistic missiles and the use of several South
African missile ranges. It is quite possible that the Prince Edward
Islands (actually two islands) area was used for ship borne missile
tests. South Africa maintains a weather station on the larger of the
two, Marion Island. It is not the sort of place any sane person would
want to take a South Seas vacation.
....unless you were on your way to see penguins in Antartica.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Edward_Islands

As far as the "Vela Incident" being a detected test of a South African
or Israeli nuclear weapon, neither party has confirmed or denied.
(...and it would probably not have been on the island as that would not
have been practical)

South Africa has been producing Israeli weapons under license since the
early 1960s starting with the Uzi sub-machinegun, then the South
African version of the Galil rifle, the R4. This is basically an
improved AK-47.

Then the South African military made a deal to use the Israeli upgrade
blueprints to the French Mirage III fighter making the SAAF "Cheetah"
the African cousin of the Israeli "Kfir".

South Africa collaborated with Israel and Taiwan on nuclear weapons
development. South Africa ultimately built seven or eight atomic bombs
in 1987-88, but dismantled them in 1989 and forswore nuclear weapons
thereafter.

The so-called "Vela Incident"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_Incident remains controversial,
politically if not technically, but I, who am not a conspiracy
theorist, am quite convinced that the Vela satellite detected an
atmospheric nuclear test.
