Sir, I hope you are talking of Cruise Missiles, because in a Future conflict if Pakistan launches a Conventional Ballistic Missile, India will detect it, and think it is a Nuclear Missile and Launch a Nuclear Attack. This is the sole reason, why even the US didnt fit up their missiles with Conventional Warheads I have read. You cant differentiate much from a Nuclear Missile flying at you, or a Conventional One. Even During Desert Storm, when each Scud was launched, there was panic as to whether it is nerve toxin etc.Patriot, Ahmed is the first Indian who admits that we Pakitanis were in small numbers but superior in 65. In 71 our biggest problem or political defeat was because we were fight our own people.
Now the situation is totally different the figures are still the same but we can't say who will win. Haan our missile technology is way ahead of them and Ahmed will agree to it no doubt.
Before my retirement I held a post in which I presented a presentation to all the Chief including Joint Chief.
just to sum up
Our missile technology is way advanced/ far ahead from India in the case we go for war, We only have to take care of the planes in the air because by the time they go back there will be no IAF bases left . If we didn't have this missile tech and the nukes, India would have attacked us a long time ago. Zia was smart he never told anyone whats in the bag, David Frost asked him whats in the bag he replied their is a cat in the bag. DF said how big is the cat he said I don't know but I can say this there are a lot of them referring to our nukes.
I recently saw that Indian news the 7 steps to get Pakistan, Let me tell you by the first step yes they will take us by surprise but there will no 2nd step we would have taken care of them in 20 min and this figure is not a factious one. They have already seen our readiness few months back again yes we might be fighting in Air to a superior weapon I mean SU-30 but that would give us enough time to take action against them. For the last 20 years there are people on both side who say lets do it and see who's the best. Which is insane if we fight both Pakistan and India will go back to 1947 and no one wants that. That is why americans can up with a fancy name The doctrine of Mutual Nuclear Deterrence
I guess you are talking of Cruise Missiles (Babur). Yes I agree you guys got a Tomahawk equivalent and India doesnt have one now, (Under Development). You are right, you can take out IAF bases with the Babur, but you must remember that, for it to be effective you must fire hundreds of Baburs at the targets, because our Air Defence Systems will surely Intercept many of the Baburs and shoot it down. Shooting down cruise missiles are easier, especially Sub Sonic ones. The Russians have said that their Mig 31 Fighters could have Intercepted and destroyed 90% or so of the Tomahawks launched against Iraq during the recent war. I am sure, the SU30s have better Radar Suite than the Mig 31, I am not mistaken, and not to forget the Countless equipments we have from Israel to take out the cruise missiles, and the Spy Sat hovering above which can detect launches. But You are right, you can still try.
Now, The Planes approaching Pakistan will be carrying the Air Launched Brahmos, and I am pretty sure, Pakistan doesnt have an effective network to take out a SuperSonic Cruise Missile. They will be used to take out the Air Bases of Pakistan, just like you would try. But we still have an edge when the Anti Missile Stuff comes into play. That you have to admit! The Brahmos will be both Air Launched and Land based just like yours. But the Range is in your favor, but again I am sure the Brahmos can go longer than the prescribed Range and we are working on it, I can vouch.
You are right, India would have had Pakistan for Breakfast if you didnt have Nukes and Missiles now. Its a Mutually Assured Destruction, and I pray it never comes to it!
