India’s Missile Defence Systems: Impact on Regional Strategic Stability
Journal Title: Journal of Aerospace & Security Studies - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
India’s ongoing development and procurement of Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) systems are part of its broader strategy to modernise its nuclear and conventional military capabilities. In response, the country is enhancing its nuclear arsenal and delivery mechanisms, both in scale and sophistication. This effort is not merely a reaction to India’s ABM advancements but also a proactive measure to maintain the credibility and effectiveness of its nuclear deterrent. Pakistan’s approach involves upgrading its ballistic and cruise missile inventories and investing in a range of cost-effective and technologically advanced countermeasures. These measures are designed not only to counterbalance the emerging ABM threat but also to mitigate the risks of escalation, contributing to long-term peace and stability in South Asia. By focusing on strategic adaptability and technological innovation, Pakistan plays a crucial role in maintaining a balanced power dynamic and promoting a stable security environment in the region.
