Indo Pak Nuclear scenario

What India's reaction will be to Pak firing missile on Delhi?


The nearest military base of Pakistan  to Delhi is LAHORE,which houses a PAF base(source Wikipedia)
the Indian capital lies at a distance of 480 km from the Lahore city and Amritsar lies 50km away,

Assumption-the missile is fired from Lahore,

the decision to counter the missile depends on the type of missile


If its ballistic-
(this picture is only for reference)

Prithvi air defence-missiles would be used so as to intercept it in its high altitude course,

if prithvi fails to intercept,
Then Akash air defence-missile is set into action,which is designed to stop them at low altitude.



if it's a cruise missile,
(not a pakistani missile,image only for reference)

Then it's not headed for Delhi,
As they usually have a range of 350 km,and Delhi is way beyond its range,

It can be shot down by a AAM missile,(AAM-air-air missile,they are fired from a fighter jet)

Let's guess,
The kind of missile that Pakistan might consider using.


Pakistani missiles such as hatf or hatf Nasr are unguided ballistic missiles,with a range of 70 km,
So it's unviable for Delhi,

Missiles such as Ghznavi,ghauri and shaheen,Babur are left as a choice,

Ghauri was a complete reverse engineered version of North Korean rodong 
And was a failure,but they claim that it is functional,

And it is speculated that the Pakistani traded their nuclear technology to Korea for the Korean missile nodong,on which ghauri is heavily based.

Ghaznavi can be used,as they have a long range of 2000km,but have a big '?' On their accuracy.
and they have been claiming that Babur have successfully passed the trials,
and it is claimed that it has a range of 600km,which is highly unlikely.


Babur  is a cruise missile and can be shot down by AAM,fired from a fighter jet.


So here is the winner 

Ghaznavi can be used for a nuke strike on India,


(Actual scenario might be different,regarding the missile launch scenario,and the Indian response)
