That WAS the objective. You can not read Op Gibralter in isolation. It was THAT in tandem with Op Grandslam that prempted India to cross the IB in order to release the pressure on Akhnoor and the constant fire from the 12th Division. Wars are not fought the way that you are prescribing here...
And what threat have the Israeli exactly made to the security of your state or to that of anyone else in the middle east, including Israel, with her nukes?
AM,
I didn't quite understand why you deleted my 2 posts with the following remarks - This message has been deleted by AgNoStIc MuSliM. Reason: pointless/flames/derogatory/off topic etc.
I would have liked you to tell me what derogatory stuff did you discover.
I would consider the BD example a tad different, as because the InA's OPOBJs were to bypass fortified enemy positions and march straight into Dacca. In any case taking a Bde/Div level operational decission as an example to determine a manouvering corps level operation would itself open another...
Fatman17,
My apologies for the delay Sir.
Anyways, I would ask you something to put things in the perspective-
Has the PA ever thought about NOT offering battle to advancing InA battlegroups and instead sit behind the canals waiting for the InA to collapse its own LOC?
Bad comparison.
Royal Navy has insufficient naval assets to mount and sustain such an expeditionary force projection against the IN. Even if they were to find and operate from a base somewhere near our borders, their LOC would collapse even before they see any significant advancement in their...
Troop concentration along with intel gave away this on both sides in all the past battles. In today's world, mass mobilization, so as to accomplish Operation Grandslam type objectives can not go undetected. Further, 3rd party intel-sharing is all the time spilling the beans everywhere. Atleast...
Somebody itching for these cheesy Bhai Bhainess, first needs to sitdown with the curricullum text books of both the countries, do proper evaluation based on neutral observations, compare without personal biases and then proceed to make proper ammendments before hoping anything other than the...
EjazR,
Couldn't say it better. Language has two basic elements.
The Linguistic and the Phonetics. The Phonetics is the root of a language's ancestry and to that point Urdu and Hindi mirror each other 90% times.
Mughaljee,
Nothing. The Indian SSBN project is not Pakistan centric. You don't require a multimillion nuke boat to strike at a target that that has very low/ negligible strategic depth and lying at a stone throw. You also need to understand that the Indian peninsula will act as a virtual...
Asq,
I know this, so does the entire world. Mrs. Clinton too has officially acknowledged this. But what's the benefit of such acceptances?
The damage has been done and it has been a damage exclusively to Pakistan. Nobody else is suffering. The great game that the super powers played is...
I think I didn't make it clear enough.
What I meant "same goes for the Indian Army", was about the expenses on maintenance and wage. India's geo-strategic posture is quite different from Pakistan and yes, considering the vast coastline and our littoral assets, India does requires a blue water...
The big pie goes to the Army for obvious reasons. Geo-strategically Pakistan's posture is that of a territorial power and not a maritime power, hence the focus on the Army. This can not be changed. Further, the major allocation goes in for maintenance and wage, little is available for...
Being rude, reqally?
Btw, I didn't imply ISI to b e involved in 9/11. I rather commented on its involvement in matter pertaining to Astan. Re Read the post.
If you go through the post you will realise what perception I have for the General. And aren't we already enemies?
Yes, but a...
