Talk production numbers notorious.
How many Cruise missiles do you have which you can spare to attack civilian infrastructure as opposed to attacking Indian airbases, army bases, forward staging areas, munition dumps. Cumulatively all of which in Western India alone number in hundreds.
There are more than 15 factories dedicated to producing CM's and Long Range Smart Bombs, i will let you do the calculations. If you want the exact numbers than you won't find them anywhere because its a State Secret, but the next best thing you can do is calculate how many storage depots are present there and whats their capacity size. Your Planners are confident that Pakistan has enough Missiles to cause some serious damage to India, just look at their posturing.
Your issue is not that you lack the technology, but you lack the finances to mass produce Cruise Missiles in thousands that would enable you to not just strike at militarily relevant targets but then have extra to attack civilian infrastructure.
Again as i said, wishful thinking. Your Strategic Planners do not seem to be under any illusion that Pakistan cannot spare CM's for civilian infrastructure strikes. I suggest you do some research on the Annual Threat Analysis that is conducted by Pakistan's Armed Force, both military and civilian infrastructure targets are discussed quite extensively.
The fundamentals boil down to this - your CM's and stand off missiles are very limited to even cover the military targets in Western India, let alone civilian infrastructure.
If a threat needs to be neutralized, there is no barring what Pakistan will use in its arsenal to take out that target. India is huge, we cannot cover every inch but you can be damn sure that Pakistan can guide a Missile right inside Delhi's Sewerage Plant.
On the other hand, India not only has more missiles at its disposal, it also has lesser number of military targets in Pakistan.A double whammy.
No arguments there, no Pakistani is under the illusion that Pakistan will come out unscathed unlike my Indian friends here who think that India will come out unscathed in a war against Pakistan.
The obvious advantages of being a country with more resources and larger size vis-a-vis a small country with lesser resources.
India will be able to damage far more infrastructure in Pakistan, multiple times more.
True but at what cost? If Pakistan's Red Lines are threatened, Pakistan has made it clear it will switch to Nuclear Strikes. Its obvious that India is not willing to pay the price for attacking Pakistan's civil infrastructure. Despite bravado of punishing Pakistan, India has not dared target Pakistan's Infrastructure and largely kept its guns aimed at Pakistan's Military Formations.
In 1947, in 1965 when they sent SSG to attempt a 'bay of pigs' and In Kargil.
In 1947, tensions were already high as India had invaded Junagedh and Hyderabad without any provocation. India is the only nation in South Asia to use force to alter political course in other countries. India created the concept of supporting armed insurgencies in other South Asian Nations. This is the Age of Information my old friend, you can't B.S your way out of this.
And not just that, it had capability back then to ensure that the fight was taken and centered in Indian territory.
Today vis-a-vis India, Pakistan's military will mostly be defending its territory with limited attacks on Indian territory.
True
Since you keep gunning for rhetoric to keep the morale high on your side, why not make it ''an enemy 100 times your size''
India is only 3.x times Pakistan's size.
India's Population: 1.2 billion
Pakistan's Population: 180 million
Looks like your Math is getting rusty old friend, time to do some brain teaser exercises.
I disagree. Pakistan would start hinting nuclear weapons after a week as its military forces start folding. How we handle that is then upto us.
True, you reserve that right.
