Hi,
Some points from my side
1. Those claiming that Pakistan missile system is nothing but paint job of Chinese technology. I would like to say, that Pakistan's missile program is moving on a very calculated, logical development path. RAAD-II is an example showing the development of newer version. That clearly show that somewhere, some great minds are at work. More surprises may come as and when required.
2. We Pakistanis, while engaging the Indian trolls over here never should indulge in nuclear response threat. Please try to understand Pakistan's conventional capabilities are enough to handle all threats emanating from East. We have shortfalls, so do the Indians. Use of TNW will be a last resort.
3.Recently there are some news regarding change in Indian nuclear doctrine. This is a clear and crisp case of nuclear blackmail. It would force Pakistan to up the ante. I am sure, Pakistani strategist would have already worked out such scenarios. If (God forbid) Pakistan is pushed in a situation like that, then why use TNW to counter force Why not go full throttle for counter value (the mindset, which Indian establishment is not willing to change). Smart statesmanship and diplomatic offense is needed to tell the world of nuclear blackmail, India is doing.
4. Cruise missile can carry nuclear. But the answer is not that simple.
It will all go down to the rule of employment. For a layman like me, BMs with CEP of ~<25m are ideal for nuclear strike. The CMs with CEP~<10m are more ideal for counter force roles.
Considering their stealth capabilities+accurecy, Pakistani CMs/SoW (Babur,RAAD etc.) would be employed on
1. Radars, ABM, AD
2. Command & Control
3. Air bases
4. High value industrial/communication
If in the starting 48 hours, Pakistan is able to take out mere 50% of Indian AD, the entire course of war would be altered.
