Well there has been rumors about a nuclear submarine being developed in Karachi. I don't if they are talking about a SSBN or SSN?...Zaevan, In case of SK, their main foes are right next door within short reach ( 1000KM ) major centers of ( NK or Japan. ) SK AIP subs could easly stay within it's on Maritime Zone protected by Ships along with Fighter cover. For PN, the Subs will need to go out as far as Bay of Bengal which will be hard for a AIP subs to do undetected. SK will not pick a fight with PLA or the Ruskies unless attacked and that point they are covered under US Nuclear / Conventional Umbrella.
PN will ( does ) require fleet of SSN, VLS system with SLCM and or SR-SLBM. Even a under 1KM SLBM can achieve desired results that you seek.
PS: Launch of BM is akin to attack via nukes whereas CM will most likely be considered conventional in most cases.
Could Pakistan lease a SSN from China? And buy a couple once our economy can afford it? No other country in the world would be willing to share nuclear tech with Pakistan.
