that might be an off-topic discussion .... therefore would not go into the detail .... but would like to raise one or two points .....
A ballistic or cruise missiles with
500 KG conventional warhead is equivalent to
a single 1000 lbs dumb bomb so as their destruction power.... for a large area of 9000 x 900 feet runway & adjacent facility 170 M-9 type (let say Shaheen-I) missile with unitary warhead are required ... now what is the cost of Shaheen missiles .... ?? plz compare it with the lethality radius of that type of missile with unitary warhead ... what should be the cost effective option ...??
now consider another scenario ...

these are the roughly sketch area of Indian IBG movements to create a desire thrust into Pakistani territory ..... would we just start firing our missiles at these IBGs or would 'first' like to use aircraft to halt or slowdown their movement ...
so the simple point is Missiles are suitable for deep targets but targets at near borders will be struck with aircraft ....
