    fatman17,

    There are contradictory and often conflicting views about the InA's Cold Start Doctrine even within the complexes of the GOI. Wikileaks or no Wikileaks, nobody seems to be in a hurry to endorse the Doctrine's Military effectiveness and rationale. The way the Doctrine has been possibly defined and marketed as a 72 hour Blitzkreig, bypassing the PA's heavy fortifications to deliver a punitive punch against a future 26/11 type incident has taken the imagination of many in the Govt as also of the academics and the common man, Fact remains, there are numerous office heads in the GoI's MoD and else where, who confidently opine that the Indian forces would have significant problems consolidating initial gains aquired, due to possibly superior firepower and tactics, mainly due to logistical difficulties and slow reinforcement. They have set forth in details, the various resource challenges that the InA would have to overcome, challenges that range from road and rail transportation to sundry logictics...ammo supply etc. In addition, Cold Start's reliance on swift mobile advance would have to contend with a large number of built up populated areas in Pakistan that the InA did not have to face in 1971, the last time it advanced in force into Pakistani Punjab and Sindh. You and I may differ, but as of now, CS doesn't not seem to have the life it requires.

    regards,
