How Pakistan can restore balance after induction of India S-400 Air Defence System?

How Pakistan can restore balance after induction of Indian S-400 Air defence System ?

Not only from S-400, Pakistan have big threat from numbers of indian air defence systems and installation near Pakistani Border too.

In these situations, Pakistan's response should be three pronged.

 First and foremost, Pakistan needs a solid air defence system. Such a system should take into account threats from both the East and the West.

 Second,
Pakistan needs to upgrade its EW capabilities. And last but not least, Pak need a kinetic response that will make most Indian air defence redundant.

At this point, a reciprocal purchase of S-400 by Pakistan seems implausible.
It can make no fly zone on both country's airspace.

Pakistan should look at both indigenous development of new counterparts or on a quick foreign purchase.
 But in the long term, indigenous capability is the only sustainable way to counter the increasing Indian threat. But in the short term, deployment of HQ-9 should be given a priority.

Indigenous capability development is a long term option and has many sub-components.
This includes indigenous development of tracking and targeting radars, surface to air missiles, sonic and laser based weapons.

Electronic warfare incorporates subterfuge, sabotage, and espionage. Pakistani intelligence needs to gain knowledge of Indian air defence capabilities and any weak spots. This can include making inroads to Indian defence suppliers to find out about weaknesses and loopholes. It can also mean infiltrating Indian defence organizations such as DRDO.

Lastly, Pakistan needs to upgrade its cruise missile with stealth teachnology and increasing range of Ababeel MIRV BM program to target deep into India.
 Now much of the R&D in Babur will be relevant because terrain recognition, waypoint navigation, target identification can all be utilized.
Not last, credible hypersonic missile or low altitude supersonic cruise missiles can challenge most Indian air defence, and restore the balance where a saturation strike from Pakistan would be a credible threat to Indian infrastructure.
