The Shaheen 3 would be roughly in equivalent range and capacity to the discontinued Soviet R-14 Chusovaya. Though even here in terms of megatons the warhead doesn't even come close. But that is the warhead not the missile.
Looking at the missile and warhead capabilities of the Soviet Union and the USA even 50-60 years back is a humbling experience.
Since the land and population mass of our enemy is several times ours, Pakistan must quickly develop boosted warheads into the megaton range and develop fusion technology .More Shahins and Ghauris MIRVEd are needed to swamp enemy defenses and for redundancy to survive a first strike.
Enemy target assessment based on population density, fire hazard, medical assets, need to be meticulously done .
Example:
A city closer to a water source such as a river or ocean has better firefighting capabilities than a city in a desert. In World War 2 during the Blitz of London, the firefighters were successful in fighting fires due to the abundance of water from the Thames river.
