"The new political regimes (Nawaz still having four more years and Narendra five) have significant time ahead to bring a thaw in bilateral relations, however, given the caveat of domestic politics on either side, moving forward in this direction represents a formidable challenge for both leaders."
"The deployment of 60km Nasr against any ‘proactive operation’ suggests the possibility of its use against counter-force targets. Theoretically, it would be justified under the right of self-defense by a state vulnerable to external aggression – in case its nuclear threshold is triggered – but it (would) presumably invite Indian massive retaliation response (as per the Indian doctrine)."
