With India deploying world's best S 500 ,anti missiles and airspace system,these will be destroyed as they are launched.

@Fastrack, Good job. Pakistan already has a potent counter to India's S400 that cost the biggst nation of poor billions of wasted money and angered USA.
The ultra rich Pakistan has tested their home made missile and that was causing shivers in the pants of USA and Poor India. Bhikari India is going around the world and IMF with a begging bowl for loans. India is in absolute doldrums without money and investing on S400 & S500. Rich Pakistan can afford to invest in S 600 and even more.
