Dissecting the Indian Cold Start Doctrine with Col (R) Abdul Naeem.

Hi,

Just a couple of things missing from Pakistan's arsenal---long range SA batteries and a couple of sqdrn's of heavy strike aircraft----
Just a couple of but those couple of missing elements are MOST crucial elements if Pakistan were to defend herself in the wake of a massive enemy assault. There seems to be realization on the need of a powerful air force but not much or downplayed I guess. The Colonel said "superior fighters, JF-17, Mirages..", from which angle these are superior fighters? especially when they were to face MKIs, and possibly Rafael?

Yeah---paf is the under belly of Pakistan military at this time.

That was not a very smart comment from the colonel---the rest of the interview is just a basic general stuff---.

As a matter of fact---if Pakistan had a 10 + LR SAM batterires 175 F16 Blk 52---a 75 Rafales or J 11-16 series and a 150 JF 17's---it would be Pakistan who could have started the 'cold start'.

My analysis is that india's cold start will stay with air strikes and massive para air drop from their large cargo aircraft fleet---.

Most of the time for war in indo pak scenario is between the fall and winter months because of rivers and floods----. The advantage to Pakistan is that during fall and winter time the wind blows down towards india.

Big disappointment ; The Colonel has EITHER No idea about India's REAL Capabilities
OR is deliberately hiding them ; not telling them so as not to create a panic situation
among PDF members

What I have learnt is that Pakistan KNOWS about India's REAL capabilities

@Horus

In the video At 18 : 55 The Colonel says that India has a
SUPERIORITY of 5:1 even 6:1

That statement leaves the interviewer with a open mouth with astonishment
for a few seconds

Then I want to know why has the Colonel said at the beginning that
India does not have the capability for Cold start
 
2nd part, air power.. goes on to explain deep strikes etc and.... that Pakistan have superior aircraft like jf 17, mirage and f 16s :lol:
 
I am unable to see the video for unknown reasons.Someone please help me.

Colonel is correct in general tone.

indian army is VASTLY lagging in terms of mobility, and flexibility. Most of your tanks ARE outdated..and there is no "mass production" of arjun either. Only 120 or so are inducted. JUST 120 etc.

Pakistan can mobilize its strike forces quicker than india. That's a fact too.

indian superiority of 5:1 or 6:1 is in some sectors. For example, india attacks Rahim Yar Khan belt with massive force..then it'd have the superiority of that level there. But over-all, across the spectrum, indian superiority isn't even 1:3...

Pakistan has 2 Strike Corps deployed against india.

india has 3 strike corps in total.

Even if u deploy all of them against us, you still won't have enough firepower to overwhelm us. Moreover, Pakistani Military is faster, more mobile, and much more flexible---and hence, it can out maneuver any indian attack and make india stand-still on strategic level---hence forcing the situation towards a ceasefire where nobody wins anything.

Read some books on military and military history. Seeing GFP lists and jumping up and down is futile.

Is it possible that IA trolled pakistan by just introducing this so called doctrine of CSD... what if IA floats a new hot ice cream doctrine, we will see pakistanis scurrying with azam e dus, gyaara, baara. etc.

There have been 6 major indian exercises focused on the concept of rapid mobilization and quick, fast, flexible attacks.

Pakistan Army isn't idiot to be "trolled' just like that. indian army might be. But not us.

Pakistan Army is an entire institution. They see whats happening in india. They calculate the situation and respond accordingly.

Keep your childish comments out.

Moreover, whether its real or not..who gives a bharti sh!t?

We improved our military capability, made it much more net-centric, introduced C4ISR across spectrum, integrated our airpower with land forces, mechanized our front-line desert forces, and made our military-machine much more war-ready, flexible, and highly mobile compared to before.

If anything, we should thanks bhartis due to which we officially moved into being a modern 21st century battle army that is focused on mobility, extreme firepower, and integration of resources.
