For decades the US and Russia had nukes pointed at each other, and a number of times we were close to nuclear war. However, there are a lot differences with these two countries..... If Russia ever launched nukes at us they knew we would launch back, and they knew they would be hit as well. The US knew the same was true if we ever launched first. That's why it never happened.

If ether Pakistan or India launched first..... The first to fire may wipe out the other country and they might be able to strike back at all.

However, these countries are right next to each other. The side that launched first would be sure to have some effect of their own nuclear bomb for decades to come.
