Babur cruise missiles basically means nukes then...India should be worried.

it was delayed based off of original timelines, but most projects of this scale are lol, it was only a few years, though in fairness, progress in Karachi is slow- ive seen it first hand with my own eyes last year june.

Last year? These nibbas turned Karachi into a trench warfare zone in June of 2022 (2 years ago). All in the name of storm water drainage.

The only thing that changed is, when rain inevitably floods the city, you don't know if the flooded road you're turning onto exists or there is a 8 foot deep ditch with iron poles ready to impale you hiding under the water.

At least the whole city turns greener than Islamabad after floods
 
Well done. I look forward to future Pakistan analysis on the capability of this submarine and how they plan to use them.

Since Babur is torpedo tube launched. Neither Hangor class nor Agosta class have dedicated vertical launch tube's. So any of Pakistan's submarines can launch Babur missiles.

Do India have any submarines that have vertical launch tubes to fire cruise missiles?

For the time being. True triad will only come through SSBN vessels. Pakistan isn't going to rest it's hope on subsonic cruise missiles to deliver it's payloads.
