Pakistan has cost effective solutions to India’s ballistic missile defence system

there are always cheaper solutions available to counter any technology, or one can get high on technological superiority and get screwed like US did in Afghanistan, a mission that was accomplished 17 years ago
This does not make an iota of sense.
 
would it not be a good idea to get our own ballistic missile defence?
Diminishing returns for its cost...given the close proximity of India and Pakistan. Even the best BMDs in the world don't have a 100% success rate...all India would need to do is MIRV their ballistic missiles. The close proximity of the missile(from launch to target site) meaning less reaction time...along with multiple warheads(and decoys) would reduce the effectiveness of the BMD to such an extent that it wouldn't be worth the amount of money spent on it...especially for a country like Pakistan with limited resources.
 
Pakistan has cost effective solutions to India’s ballistic missile defence system: Report

Pakistan has “cost effective solutions” to India’s latest ballistic missile defence system and would also find a counter to its nuclear capable submarine, a media report said on Wednesday quoting a senior official of the country’s top strategic body.

Addressing a conference on ‘Nuclear Deterrence and Strategic Stability in South Asia’ hosted by the Strategic Vision Institute (SVI), Adviser to the National Command Authority (NCA) Lt Gen (retd) Khalid Kidwai also said that Pakistan will remain unfazed as it has adequate response options that would disallow any disturbance of the strategic balance or strategic stability.

“The history of our strategic force development clearly indicates that Pakistan has never allowed this (strategic) balance to be disturbed to our disadvantage; we have always found effective solutions to redress induced imbalances from time to time,” Gen Kidwai was quoted as saying in by Dawn newspaper.

He said Pakistan would not follow India in developing a defence system against ballistic missiles because it found little value in such systems, but would continue to seek to redress the imbalances caused by India’s moves.
“Pakistan remains unfazed and as before, we have adequate response options which will disallow any disturbance of the strategic balance or strategic stability. That fundamental policy will prevail,” he said.

Talking in the context of India-Russia deal for S-400 missile systems, he said India had been working on the development of a multi-layer ballistic missile defence (BMD) system for over a decade now. Besides the S-400 deal, India has large-scale cooperation with Israel for the development of the BMD.

“Much hype has been created around this particular technology induction and some have gone to the extent of calling it a game changer for South Asia,” he said, adding that “this was wrong”.

Lt Gen Kidwai said Pakistan had already possessed “cost-effective solutions” to take care of India’s BMD in the shape of MIRV (multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle) capability and four categories of cruise missiles.

He said India’s BMD only had symbolic value and “Pakistan’s answer (to it) is available today”.

The NCA adviser also said Pakistan had long ago taken “conscious decision” of not developing an anti-ballistic missile system because of the reasons that remain valid even today.

He maintained that Pakistan’s response to India’s nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine INS Arihant too could be found in full spectrum deterrence, which implied possession of a full array of strategic, tactical and operational weapons, having appropriate weapons yield, coverage and numbers, and liberty to choose targets.

Nuclear-powered submarine INS Arihant had successfully completed its first deterrence patrol, taking India into a club of a handful of countries which have the capability to design, construct and operate Strategic Strike Nuclear Submarine (SSBN).

Meanwhile, SVI president Dr Zafar Iqbal Cheema said India was looking for space for fighting a limited war with Pakistan, but Islamabad was trying to deprive it of that opportunity by coming up with responses like tactical deterrence.


“This is our contribution to peace,” he added. India, he claimed, was pushing the region into an arms race that would have long-lasting consequences.
gen shahib is in denial.
he did not mention what would happen to paf as soon as they take off they will be in s400 range

The same thing that happened to Putin's s400s in Syria...they'll get jammed in their bungholes as the PAF flies over them showing y' all raanwarr ki vidhvas da middle finga. :coffee:

I warned the indians here that Pakistan will always ALWAYS be 10 steps ahead of you and you will, at best, be playing catch up. China already has the s400s in their possession and we are inspecting its every nook and cranny very closely, and that too, with your best buddy Russia's full knowledge and approval. by the time you get it, rest assured, it'll be dead on arrival. :rolleyes:

There is a one post by some Pakistani that says however well Pakistani armed forces and intelligence agencies work, there are enough corrupt generals and politicians who would give up all the gains for some bribe. This bribe factor has always turned the tide in India's favour every time in every wars.

For instance, in 1999, Nawaz Sharif accepted bribe to withdraw from Kargil. In 1971, Niazi accepted bribe to surrender.

For all your boasts of being 10 steps ahead, how do you plan to work around this problem of corruption? Obviously you have no answer. That's why Kashmir is still with us after 70 years.

Did you some how miss the 35% of kashmir in our control and 15% kashmir in China's control? indian denial anyone? :lol: don't worry about our "corrupt" generals. worry about the corrupton in your own generals who gobble up the funds arms, ammunition and food for the foot soldiers and use the foot soldiers to walk their dogs! apni khair manao bittva. ;)

Yeah that problem with that theory is that you no longer have an inner sellout like mujib to wage a civil war on your behalf. But we gave plenty of jilanis to wage civil war in india on OUR behalf... ;)
