But all convoluted discussions aside, Even Pakistan will think twice, thrice before making that call. Especially using the NASR, because PAkistan has structured (to their credit) the discussion on that missile in such a way that the first action the radar operator who sees that missile climb will execute is announce a possible Nuke strike.
That's scary...even the launch of a battle field rocket such as nasr can be temporarily presumed to be a nuke launch...especially when such nukes have been actively pursued by Pakistan.
May I remind you that Nasr has the signature of an MLRS, so if IA considers all of them to be "possible nuke launches", then good luck to maintaining that command & control.
Pakistani & Indian nuclear forces have not evolved to that level of efficiency yet. Only the G-5 have the capability to launch retaliatory strikes before impacts, that too because the reaction-time window is large enough.And experience will tell you that it only takes a few wrong reports in the fog of war to make horrifying conclusions, which lead to terrifying consequences.
