Brahmos is still a thorn in our side, next time Indians would send volleys of hypersonic missiles on the onset instead of shadowboxing by IAF for days. Pakistan must be able to cheaply target their targets with similar weapons 3 times over.
yes, now missile threshold has been crossed. Neither side resorted to nuclear posturing due to their use. So next to me Indians would send such a volley within hours.
How do you deter nuclear attack? By demonstrating the capability and will for MAD.
I have maintained since the 'accidental' Brahmos launch, that Pakistan lost quite a bit of deterrence as that missile impacted and we did nothing. Indians did that on purpose to really test our will on going nuclear at the sight of a nuclear capable missile. Now sadly they have this fall back plan like Hitler to start lobbing missiles indiscriminately. In 2019, we had prevented this by telling Indians plainly that we will consider all missiles as a nuclear attack, now we have lost that luxury.We have to match up to their non nuclear madness now.
Indian is still very primitive on their hypersonic missiles development.
Yes but they have active programs which are being testing already, and Russia is assisting them, so they'll possess them in a few years.
It is almost impossible to go toe to toe with them on every field, Pakistan has to choose locating funds in certain fields and maxmaise that, in my opinion, airforce is the only choice, as PAF has both great af culture/foundation and stable supply from China , Indian on the other hand is in trouble.
Match them in tech capabilities in missile domain not in numbers. Again involving PAF is dangerous two times india have seen capabilities they will prepare more. But they yet to see our missle capabilities this is where we should be looking at in next conflict.

hq 9 can shoot supersonic cruise missiles?
PAF in particular, n PAK armed forces in general, are not in the habit of exhibiting "things" that they don't need to.
