I read your long comment and here are the replies o the points you raised.
But after reading your this post, I really don't think you have learned something.
Seriously, who told you that Pakistan conducts more cold tests and simulations than India?
Pakistan does more bench and cold tests of individual components and less actual missile tests.
Wrong, Pakistan doesn't even produce, half of components required.
India has far bigger number of simulation facilities and Supercomputers for cold tests.
But this all is useless till you match codes with actual flight.
Other countries following same suite aren't idiots.
saves costs and keeps secrecy.
Costs of installation of such capacities is high and can never bear enough reliability.
The proof of this line of action was given big time in 1998 wen India conducted Nuclear tests tining aht Pakistan won't be able to do anything and surrender. They had no idea Pakistan was also ready.
India didn't even think about Pakistan while testing. Our aim was to scare someone else and even today is same. These were Pakistanis who love to hyphenate themselves with India.
In fact by USA's own admission they to didn't know.
Do you know, India is developing nuclear torpedoes in Tajikistan?
Only to see Pakistan conducting tests a few days late. Because Pakistan does far more cold tests than India our Missiles dont fail when fired.
Nirahy falls on some Farmer's cahsew nut plantation and keeps falling.
Let me inform you that missiles don't undergo Cold Tests!
They undergo wind tunnel testing, dummy testing, drop testing, CFD simulations and then, final firing.
US, USR, PRC, EU & India, all have suffered failures even after simulations.
Yes India is developing the or Trying to develop the long list of Engines you mentioned. Its another thing hat Kaveri won't power tejas as below par performance and Brahmos engine is Russian import.
Case is also different that Pakistan can't even make an engine like Kaveri being far behind in metallurgical constraints.
Case is different that India has finally developed small HTFE-25 engine for it's trainer aircrafts. We are working hot corrosion resistant nickel based superalloys and we will get a breakthrough one day.
Even US, Russia also take long time when they make a new engine.
The Laghu Shakti egine used on Nirbhay was seen flaming out during the test.
Yes it will be improved and yes eventually it may stop flaming and perform as neede but at what cost?
It's the cost which other countries also paid for decades when they were developing all it.
Today, they can give their army something exclusive which other's can't have because it's nor for sale.
On the other hand Pakistan skipped all that,bought NPO reliable engines and deployed Babur 10 years ago.
So a more practical approach that works very well.
NPO will also get outdated some day.
It's a mere a short term approach and completely dependent on what your country.
Pakistan was dependent on US, now on China, tomorrow it will be dependent on others. India has a altogether different ambitions. India prefers to import systems initially but till only gets it's own.

India is simply a very big country with huge population, it hurts long term's interests and ambitions if dependent on others.
India's drift towards is temporary, around till 2030-35 when it itself can play role somwhat US, Russia and China are playing.
So, as the time passes, India's homegrown weapons will get more advanced and it's policies will keep becoming more aggressive.
Problem is planning of Indian Missiles is upside down. The missile is developed seperately, the platform developed on it's own and warheads available are not even kept into consideration.
For example Brahmos was developed without any consideration for launch platforms. It is too heavy for Sukhoi and too wide for submarines.
IAF SU-30 had to be specially modified at great cost for being able to carry just one Brahmos and only one SU-30 has so far been modified that way,so in effect only one IAF SU-30MKI can even carry Brahmos. Firing test is yet to ne done.
Due to being too wide no Indian sub can fire it from torpedo tube and will have to be specially re-fitted with VLS,whenever that happens.
Yes ships can fire Brahmos and so can land based launchers , but the launc platforms will need to be within 300 Kilometers of Pakistani borders to have any results as the missile only has 300Km range.
On the other Hand Pakistan build everything in conjunction. For example babur was developed while keeping in mind 533mm dia of Submarine Torpedo tubes which is standard. babur Dia is 520mm , so it can have water tight casing for being fired from submarine if needed. No modification will be neded on PN Agosta.
Also Pakistan developed a seperate light weight ALCM for PAF,so that every available aircraft can carry it without expensive modifications.
Every jet in PAF fleet can carry two or at least one Raad ALCM.
Also dimensions and weight of our Ballistic Missiles were kept in line with available TEL,to make them all terrain. And thats Pakistan's second strike capability. All Pakistani Ballistic missiles are on offroad vehicles which can go hide in desolated places where enemy first strike isn't gona happen and then launch a reply attack from some desesert , forest or mountain.
India gave TEL contracts to Private companies who didn't do a good Job. Agni TEL looks like a freight train and the turning circle is so large that the thing can barely travel on major highways let alone a small road and due to low ground clearance and being very long,definitely not offroad.
Only Prithvi launchers can do limited offroading.
At first place:
- BrahMos wasn't intended for being SLCM or ALCM while was being developed.
- Agni TEL? It has to travel a large distance.
- It's Pakistan who must be making weapons against India; India's policies aren't Pakistan centric. Three major Battleships of India can make Pakistan "Navy Less" in few days. Air & Ground Forces aren't smaller either. They are many times bigger in manpower and equipment.
Also the amout of Plutonium and Weapon grade Uranium available to India at the moment isnt too big and yes they have Fuel quality uranium in large quantity which also can be used to make very heavy Nuclear warheads not ligh ones.
So what exactly is the point in making MIRV capable missiles when warheads cannot be made for them? Or even a nuclear cruise missile which will also need very small warhead?
India has got 28% of world's total Thorium reserves and can convert it in usable nuclear ammo by it's fast breeder reactor.
In fact currently Pakistan has more Nuclear warheds than India,so even if India has more and more types of Missiles,
- India has 21 (6 more under construction) nuclear reactors, Pakistan has 4. India directs most of material towards civil sector is different case, Pakistan itself blamed India to have enough material for 2,000 w
- India produces 385 tonnes of Uranium annually, Pak @ just 45.
- India has interceptors to block a considerable fraction of missile attacks, Pak can't.
- India is a far bigger country, enough to absorb a nuke attack and strike back, Pak can't.
- Indian Conventional Forces are enough big to nullify any nuclear attack without India using nuclear weapons. India is known to have/making thermobaic & vaccum bombs which can play the role of tactical nuclear weapons alone.
- India has some of world's most powerful spy satellites with resolution in centimeters to track & crack the any country's missiles before they are launched.
- India has demonstrated it's MIRV technology by launching multiple satellites in one go, many times.
- India has thermonuclear warheads, and how reliable our tech is, International Union selected us to work on world's first thermonuclear reactor.
- India has or is making NBC Bunkers in major cities, so our people will be safe, not yours.
- India has laser, electromagnetic, Biological & Chemical weapons besides nuclear ones, Pak hasn't. India has also been alleged to develop a dedicated city for nuclear research.
Most important thing of all, Pakistani nuclear doctrine isn't about dropping nuclear bombs in India. Pakistani nuclear bombs are too small for that.
It's retaliation to India's cold start doctrine that if Indian soldiers enter Pakistani territory, they will be bombed (Pak is ready to nuke it's own land). Even for it's remedy, India is working on NBC APCs which can survive under a WMD attack.
Ask for sources BTW.
there is no point as they don't have amounts and types of warhed for the misisles. Its same as having the gun but no bullets.
I don't think so. India is made most strides in civil sector. From LWRs to PHWRs, FBRs & Particle accelerators & fast supercomputers for simulations. From nuclear powered submarine, to current program on nuclear powered space mission.
Everything what P5 has.
And India can't make warheads?
that's why Pakistan isn't rushing into building SLBM as our land based missiles are currently enough to act as second strike capabilities,
Second strike capability stands for absorbing a nuclear attack and then, retaliating back. Which is impossible for a small country like Pakistan.
Further, Pak isn't rushing for SLBMs because it has only one enemy, India.
India on the other hand has bigger enemies and bigger aspirations to establish itself as a hard power.
India has or making everything what UNSC permanent members have.
In fact, India is already beaten down UK and France. India has nuclear triad, scramjets, HGVs, they don't.
Only nuclear doesn't define Indian dreams, India works everywhere,
They file a lot of patents, top Asian Innovation chart, institutions breaking into major ones even after fact that its a developing country, they could make very successful rockets, could throw damned objects on other celestial bodies, their spacecrafts could find water on Moon, their telescopes could discover new black holes and red giants or they could throw 20 sats in a single shot, they could be breaking into world's biggest and fastest growing economies with foreign reserves more than double of USA, their missiles could cover entire Europe, they may be maintaining some of world's largest armed forces, with military budget exceeding Russia's, may have a collider four times bigger than CERN and their companies could have revenue close to the size of GDP of many countries or a lot, which is called full spectrum work.
and not rushing for more types of Missiles as Pakistan al;ready has more types of nuclear capable missiles than India.
Factually Incorrect
You wrote this bs
because Pakistan could induct an MRBM before India inducts it's ICBM?
