I am not sure what makes you believe that PAF will not be breaking the target acquisition chain of S400s, and what makes you believe they'd even let the Indians operate the S400s closer to the border, without being threatened?
As for the kind of LFEs scenarios that you're putting up, that's nothing new, PAF did the same on 27th of Feb. Without going into many details, simply hurling missiles does not work in real life. Simple hiding behind SAMs does not work in real life. PAF has options amongst the SOW armament that range from 60KM to 600KMs (in public view) in range, for targetting the other side.
And the kind of saturation attacks that you're talking about, every base would need more than 30-40 Brahmos picking up targets (not decoys) with pinpoint accuracy across the board, in order to be successful. IAF would require multiple hundreds of such missiles in order to perform a successful saturation strike against PAF - that too with the PAF sleeping on the wheel.
It's not my scenario, why are you arguing with me? Somebody else proposed a massive saturation strike.
With that in mind, your argument about breaking kill chain is out of context. You have got to be dumb if you think 'hurling missiles' means simply hurling missiles. You have got to be dumb if you think LRSAMs do not change the battlescape, or that enemy fighters cannot stay behind such a virtual fence. And you have to be dumb if you think slow moving cruise missiles that we currently have are an appropriate response to massive strikes of supersonic Brahmos.
By the way, India has 500 billion dollars in the bank in hard cash. It can bring a very large number of Brahmos into play.
