You are right, what was I thinking, this deserves a positive rating.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

In this era of the asymmetric warfare via technology how will this WW2 style mindset prevail? It's now an war by, of and for the engineers....

 

[Joe Shearer]

Any amendment would be welcome.

There're a number of thoughts, NOT amendments, NOT corrections. I would prefer not to make them in open posts, as projections into the future may be overlooked, but candid comment about the past will lead to a bad reaction from 'some' who swarm this forum. So let the discussion flow, maybe I'll join in later.

Actually, I'm confused, I don't know what to do, and how to do it.

I would like to suggest one more thing. Just add Pakistan's commands too, so everyone who want to seek can have fairly idea about the strength of two countries.

Will do so when I have the time. But the problem is that map itself gets too small.

 

[Joe Shearer]

Thanks dear.

All ears.

Let me first prepare a document that shows you how someone from this side would see things.

IA formations are located where they are, for two reasons.

1. To neutralise PA formations;
2. For reasons that are not worth putting out in public.

Let me have an hour to work on this doc.

Ha HA!

Done it already, but tabular, not pictorial.

How are you?

25 to 23! The PA outnumbers us sneaky Yindoos by 2 divisions! However divisions won't matter......

reminds me of an interview of Gen Musharraf with an Indian where he schooled him of entire Indian force deployment where almost 90% is along Pakistani borders.

70%.

There're reasons for that.

The Pakistan Army forms a chain right from the Northern Territories down to Karachi. Those formations are ALWAYS there. This is for 3,323 kms of border length.

The PLA has lightly armed border guards everywhere, and when they want to cause friction, they concentrate between one brigade to two divisions at that designated friction point. Our borders with them are 3,488 kms., 5% more than with Pakistan.

If we were to man our borders with China at the same density as we do our borders with Pakistan, we would need (23 divisions + 5% = ) 24.5 divisions, an increase of 12 divisions, of about 180,000 jawans, since there are already 9+3 divisions deployed, 9 in the east, 3 in the west.

Just to get the feel of things, ask @Signalian or @Desert Fox 1 to list you the number of Indian Army formations between Nyoma and Bareilly.

my unit was deployed in Bhimber sector against the legendary 4th Rajpoot regiment. kept us very busy. these were times to cross the LoC and try to abduct or kill opposing soldiers. sniping and mortar fire,

we played a prank on a civilian relative of our unit officer who came over to spend night with us. we faked an Indian attack at night time on our base a lot of shooting and whistling and the guy ran off from the sleeping bunk into the latrine. his caption cousin was the main planner of this prank lol.
