Ballistic missile defences are suicidal for India.
MIRV, MARV and a variety of first strike options negate any ballistic missile defence system's feasibility. That's something the US and Russia acknowledged a long time ago. Missile defence systems are dangerous for the stability of the region.
Forget advanced technologies. All Pakistan needs to do is simply launch more nukes at once.
See this scenario:
Pakistan wants to launch 100 nukes at India, so India makes a super missile shield over the whole country. This super shield has a 70% interception rate against Medium Range Ballistic Missiles, an astonishing technological achievement.
Pakistan, in a panicked response, starts ramping up its nuclear production to 50 nukes a year. Now in a decapitation strike, Pakistan will launch 200 nukes at India. At this rate, 60 nukes will still slip through and give India a bad day but it may still survive, just set back a hundred years or so.
After a few years, Ababeel is operationalised with MIRV. This brings the interception rate down to 60%. 192 of 320 nukes pass through.
Then after 10 years, MARV is operationalised as well. This brings the interception rate down to 50%. 410 of 820 nukes pass through. All major cities and towns in India will be gone, the Ganges plain where most population centres are is as good as gone forever. South India might be lucky and merely be sent back to the stone age. Not even the Andaman and Nicobar islands will be spared. Rebuilding India through this much radiation and destruction will be impossible.
After 15-20 years Hypersonics come into play, and the interception rate plummets dramatically, probably to less than 5%. Now you have 1000+ nukes successfully attacking India which will surely leave no chance of any life surviving in the region again.
If you had not started a nuclear arms race, there would only be a few hundred nukes at Pakistan's normal production rate of 10 a year minus tactical nukes. Now, you have forced Pakistan to develop extreme offensive capabilities and a huge nuclear stockpile.
No, Pakistan's policy is very clear - if you attack Pakistan and cross a red line, you will be destroyed. The world is not going to antagonize Pakistan because India was foolish enough to cross this red line.
India will never cross the red line as it doesn't claim any Pakistan territory nor she doesn't have any military capacity to do it....
She just wants to protect whatever kashmir she has under control.....
All past wars were started by Pakistan not by India.... So same will be in future.....
And even if suppose due to some terrorism if India decides to take some retaliatory small action to just to take revenge it won't give you a lisence to use nuclear weapons and kill innocent civilians..... Sorry but if you nuke us you won't be able to get away easily without facing a wrath of the World....
What many don't know is that since 80s there were times when Pakistan decided to nuke India and every time US Satellite picked the movement of nukes and US government immediately intervened to deescalate the situation,. In reality Indian government and military knew how real a nuclear war is with Pakistan if they try a misadventure, but current government seems to think they can get away with it as India is much larger then Pakistan which is a delusion and could wipeout both countries.
In 80s we never were on the verge of immediate war.... Why would Pak decide to nuke India all of a sudden? It's all just a pressure games and nothing.... Actually there is no leader till date in Pakistan including Zia who would ever dare to nuke large population center of India..... In India also it's a same case.....
