If only your Generals had the same level of optimism as you, i would actually take your word for it but for now the posture of your General Staff Office speaks volume of how much optimism India has in her ABM technology. We will talk about India's ABM systems once they come online, but dont for a second there think that Pakistan will be sitting static and wont be working on improving her missile inventory.
You have pretty much turned your argument into dust by bringing North Korea and China in. Do you honestly for a second think that Pakistan did not improve the capability of her missiles after acquiring those initial designs? Last i checked, North Korean missiles dont even come close to having the same level of operational status, reliability and accuracy that Pakistani missiles have. As for now, all you have are speculations and no concrete evidence so stop trolling and ruining the thread.
What a wonderful source, you are referring to a columinst to explain us the consequences of a nuclear war
. Get this through your head, Pakistan's stock of nuclear weapons has increased beyond the 3 digit mark. Any nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan will turn entire South Asia into dust, both countries have enough nuclear weapons to wipe each other off.
