Decapitation, Neutralization of delivery systems -A living nightmare for the PAKIS. Make a quick mend in relations. Be nice to Indians - We will let U live

First strike is of no value, because of multiply-located atomic arsenal in India

Pakistan's choices are particularly difficult. Its minimal arsenal may encourage conventional preemption by the enemy. Eric Arnett has pointed out that the Indian Air Force could potentially disable most of Pakistan's nuclear delivery capability with a conventional attack. This threat will
increase as India inducts more and better aircraft with high precision munitions and deploys more Prithvis. In fact, Pakistan's aircraft-borne deterrence already stands considerably eroded. It is not just a question of destroying aircraft on the ground or mid-flight and disabling runways; a determined conventional strike by superior air and missile forces of the enemy can inflict substantial damage on the
command and control structure itself. Decapitation is a valid fear in the case of Pakistan's deterrent.
