Re: Pakistani missiles are all North Korean missiles painted in Green.
Why are you assuming that Pakistani's aren't aware of this already? I think almost everyone on this forum is pretty much aware that most pakistani missiles are derived from North Korean variants of Russian missiles. Just like we accept that Pakistan's domestically-produced tanks and planes are variants of Chinese designs
It's a smarter way of missile design better suited to Pakistan's limited financial resources. Rather than design from the ground-up, take an existing design and just modify it with technology that Pakistan has access to.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you design a missile entirely in-country or if you slightly modify another country's existing design. *Stick a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead on top and both missiles will easily take out a couple million Indians.

And Pakistan would be willing to take the consequences of killing a couple of million Indians?
Re: Pakistani missiles are all North Korean missiles painted in Green.
I think indian scientists should show maturity by acknowledging what all help they have received while building these technologies. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I am not telling that they didn't do any thing, but definitely many foreign suppliers and design and manufacturin consultants are involved. Besides, other than US, Russia and few european countries, everyone else has either reverse engineered or got foreign consultants to get the technology (indias case).
Re: Pakistani missiles are all North Korean missiles painted in Green.
No country starts from scratch when it comes to defense (perhaps the indigenous Indian tank is an exception, but we all now how succesful that was...)..
Basicallly, why would any country reinvent the wheel? Its impractical!
