I'm assuming not all the nukes are on missiles. If they're delivered via plane they could be dispersed. Also, I'm reminded of the US Air Force's inability to prevent scud launches in the Gulf War. Pakistan has better capability than Iraq did and if they can tip these mobile missiles with nukes then the Indians can't be certain of taking them all out in one strike.

Several differences:

Two generational changes in intel capability, one generational change in weapons, a major change in C&C, and last but not least distance. We had long overflight times during Desert Strom. Today we sit just a few miles off Pakistans coast and at any given time have many aircraft in their airspace.
