Shaheen-3 missile to cover Indian second strike from Andaman: Lt General Khalid Kidwai

I read at janes and other defence magzines is Pakistan wants a fleet of 14 submarines if true than along with 6 Type 41 Submarines Pakistan should go for 3 Type 96 Nuclear Submarined
Do you know the maintenance costs of a Nuclear sub?
 
. . .
Even American Patriot System is not that reliable and Israeli Iron dome from where Indian ABM tech comes...hardly can tackle Kitusha rockets.

According to scientist V K Saraswat of DRDO the missiles will work in tandem to ensure a hit probability of 99.8 percent. On 6 May 2012, Dr V K Saraswat confirmed that Phase-I is complete and can be deployed to protect two Indian cities at a short notice. He also added that Phase-I is comparable to PAC-3 system.[31][38]

All good, he just forgot the air time that it would take to reach 2750+ kms to hit Andamans. With so much of air time and crossing over entire india, will give more than enough time to determine where to give bath to Shaheen 3

Pakistani military are ignoring India's SBLM while Chest beating because they know India already has achieved Second strike capability with SLBMS .

Nuclear submarines are the need of a blue water navy with internationally strategic stretch and needs. For a small and focused navy like Pakistan, SSKs should do well. Rather than wasting resources on achieving the "overkill" it's always better to create a balanced mix of enhanced capabilities. Qings offer SLBM capability in conventional form, if PN can get their hands on some AIP equipped qings, their strategic reach is enough to ensure a second strike capability over India.

How your Shaheen will take care of Nuke Subs :D
right now Indian sea based deterrent is a work in progress.When its finally deployed we will see.
But lets not forget Pakistan makes towed array sonars which are very good at detecting subs at very long ranges.

Shaheen is made for Israel not for India...Gauri itself covers entire India.....

But how will you stop Indian submarines to nuke entire Pakistan and wipe it from the map :D

we have no direct confrontation with Israel.
Then you dont need Shaheen...or you know nothing about Pakistan army intentions :D
