Pakistan is a narrow country and even the furthest towns in Baluchistan are less than 1000 KM from Indian border. On this basis any missile with 1500KM range should be able to target all towns in Pakistan. Pakistan would on the other hand need a missile of about 3000 Km to reach Kania Kumari.
Agni 1 was developed way back in early 1990s and its modified version as Agni 2 has been in Indian arsenal for more than 10 years. This missile has 1500 KM range. Any longer range missile has no effect of the strategic balance except in numbers.
Pakistan has two missiles (Ghauri 2 & Shaheen 2) with more than 2000 Km range. We dont have any ballistic missile with 3000 KM range. Only when Pakistan develops a 3000 KM range missile, it will make a difference to India.
