Pakistan's awareness of enemy missile launches or strikes

[Zarvan]

So here's a scenario:
On a very normal day in Pakistan's routine, something very unexpected happens.
All of Pakistan's missile sites/nuclear sites in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are suddenly struck.... All the sites are turned to ash and what we see is huge craters at the site.it appears to be big missile strikes from an unknown enemy ....pakistan is in a state of confusion ....was it india? Or maybe America has done something from Afghanistan....Or maybe it were aliens?
My question is that how much pakistan is aware of an aerial strike such as from missiles after they are struck out maybe before an enemy launches it? Does pakistan need to know that who launched the missiles ? Or just press the kill India button?

Nice Dream time to wake up

in case of indian SLBM it will take decade to be operational and before that pakistan will have some operation SLCM(Babur) with 1500Km range with nuclear tip .

Nice story.Arihant is already on sea trials,and Babur's range isn't 1500 km.

Awareness is measured in terms of warning time; which varies across the border and geography of Pakistan.
An attack via the Sea may be picked up earlier by an AEW system. But an airstrike hugging the Kashmir mountains may not be detected in that same timeframe.

Aircraft can be picked up by radar. 100% cover due to terrain config isn't possible.

But the issue is not about aircraft. The OP specifically mentions missiles and who launched them to destroy nuke assets in KP. Now that's a tough one unless one has satellite resources linked to powerful ground radar systems with a 24x7 coverage which Pakistan doesn't have at present.

Or the sophisticated radar complex like the RCA 474L Ballistic Missile Early Warning System deployed by the US or Raytheon AN/FPS-120 Solid State Phased-Array System (SSPAS). These systems cost the Earth!

Very nice discussion indeed. Friends, we need more of such topics and ways of discussion.

I would contribute with this :

In 99 some how uncle Sam manged to get a preInfo of Missile Preparation. Pakistan must devise new procedures so as to negate any leak of such Launches.

International Pressure is a very key element in such a scenario.

India is also facing a similar issue with new systems.. the SLBMs with Warheads ready..n mated. without proper systems..codes etc. Its a challenge to posesses such a lethal weapon system.
