The introduction of nuclear arms into the national defense structures of
Pakistan and India in 1998 has not brought an era of peace and stability
as some analysts had predicted. Full-scale war was only barely evaded
in 1999 and 2002. It is true that nuclear weapons play an important role
as deterrent but without any reliable nuclear delivery system the
deterrence would be inadequate. Therefore, missile technology has
been seen as the most important variant of today's modern warfare. As
we know that missile technology could be use for both offense and
defense purposes thus every nuclear or non-nuclear state specifically
generates funds for the development of its missile program. The
objective of this study is to understand the dynamics of Pakistan's
missile program, particularly in the scenario when India is advancing
its missile program for both offence and defense proposes. The article
discusses the objective of Pakistan's missile program with capabilities
and specific usage, proposes and importance on the concept of
minimum deterrence for Pakistan. Within this context, the study also
analyzes Pakistan’s strategic thinking about the role of different missile
series.
