From Article at DAWN:

ISLAMABAD: A nuclear expert from Moscow says despite heavy investments in developing anti-ballistic missile systems, India may not be able to fully defend itself in a conflict from strikes by Pakistani missiles.

“Even in 10 years and with the huge budgets that India plans to spend on the development of nuclear weapons and capabilities, it is difficult to imagine it will be able to defend its territory from possible strikes from Pakistan in case of conflict,” said Petr Topychkanov, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Moscow Centre’s Non-Proliferation Programme.

Talking about ‘Non-Proliferation and Strategic Stability in South Asia: A Russian Perspective’ at the Strategic Vision Institute (SIV) which is an Islamabad-based think tank specialising in nuclear issues, Mr Topychkanov said that despite largescale cooperation between India and Israel for the development of a ballistic missile defence system and Indian efforts for acquiring S-400 defence systems from Russia, “India is very far from developing any system that could effectively defend itself from a Pakistani missile”.

ABM tech around the world, is in its nascent stage, but there will come a time , when such technology, would have fully evolved, would be able knock out missiles, with a hundred percent effectiveness. It might be in 10 - 20 or 50 years.

Those nations, who took the lead now, in developing such technologies, would be sitting in their homes feeling secure.

Where as those countries, who scoff at this technology as undoable, improbable, not 100% effective , will be scouring the ends of the earth, to find a supplier, which can provide them with even modicum of safety from enemy missiles.
The ballistic missiles wont sit back during all that time sir. THAT tech is also going to evolve during that time frame. It is a race against time that no one can win.

India deplyoing BMD, creates doubt in mind of Pakistanis.
i.e
Indians say, their dual layer BMD , has a 98.9% intercept possibility against upto 2500 Km range missile.

Knowing that, Pakistan will have to fire multiple missiles against a single target, at the same time.

But what if, Indians have anticipated this and moved in more interceptor batteries to protect that target.

There is a possibility, all missiles fired at the target will be intercepted.

Here in lies the doubt for Pakistan.

What if all its missiles fired are intercepted , Pakistan would have struck first, but without damaging India, and India nuclear response, which will surely follow , will destroy Pakistan.

Hence Pakistan will be more hesitant , to use the nuclear option, than it would be, if there were no defense shield.

Pakistan has a no first attack policy policy in place since 1971. This policy was reiterated after the nuclear tests in 1998. Pakistan has vowed never to invade or attack another country under any circumstances. Pakistan's foreign minister Shamshad Ahmed had warned that if Pakistan is ever invaded or attack, it will use "any weapon in its arsenal" to defend itself.
