COLD START: INDIA TO DEPLOY MASSIVE TANK ARMY ALONG BORDER WITH PAKISTAN

Moving all those big tanks isnt really a fast job...giving cold start its literal meaning..a slow lazy start..beside parking all those tanks on the open right across the border not only allows to prepare defenses but in even of war a pre-emptive strike would litter the battle front with debris..making supply lines difficult to manage...Indian army looking emotional like modi with ever shrinking common sense...

According to IHS Jane’s Defense Weekly, the newly ordered MBTs will supplement 850-900 license-built T-90S Bhishma tanks, divided into 18 regiments, and currently deployed in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Punjab.

Where is ArJunk?

Russian tanks with Indian jawans powered by daal + haldi (lethal combination) :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The indoor atmosphere would be highly explosive! Just add spark
 
Cold Start: India to Deploy Massive Tank Army Along Border With Pakistan

The Indian Army is set to deploy over 460 new T-90SM main battle tanks (MBTs) along India’s border with Pakistan, senior Indian defense officials told IHS Jane’s Defense Weekly on January 19.

The new T-90SM MBT (other designations T-90AM or T-90MS) is the latest and most modern version of the T-90 (which in turn is a modernized variant of the T-72 MBT), and has specifically been designed for export by Russia.

According to IHS Jane’s Defense Weekly, the newly ordered MBTs will supplement 850-900 license-built T-90S Bhishma tanks, divided into 18 regiments, and currently deployed in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Punjab. It is unclear how many T-90S and T-90SM in total are currently in service with the Indian Army. (Estimates vary from 800 to 1,200 MBTs in various stages of operational readiness.)

The new MBTs will be equipped with new thermal imagining sights and will be divided up into ten new regiments.

India has been mulling the purchase of 464 T-90SM MBTs for the past year. According to an Indian media report from November 2016, the contract “will include a Make-in-India element for integration at the Heavy Vehicles Factory in Avadi near Chennai.” However, the purchase has not yet been cleared by the Defense Acquisition Council, headed by Indian Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar.

The Indian Army already maintains a sizeable tank force along the India-Pakistan border. However, the recent news that New Delhi intends to modernize its tanks formations along the border could indicate that India continues to methodically implement its so-called Cold Start Doctrine of limited conventional war with Pakistan.

This doctrine, which as The Diplomat reported has never been officially acknowledged until recently, calls for swift and decisive conventional offensive operations into Pakistani territory before the international community can intercede, and before Pakistan would feel compelled to launch tactical nuclear retaliatory strikes in the event of an invasion.

Tanks play a pivotal role in Cold Start as they are the key offensive assets to launch limited but rapid armored thrusts into Pakistani territory supported by mechanized infantry formations and air power within 48-72 hours at the outset of a military confrontation with Islamabad.

A number of military maneuvers over the past decade has shown that the Indian Army’s reliance on its so-called three Strike Corps (each consisting of two armored and one infantry division with approximately 450 MBTs per corps) to conduct Cold Start offensives took away the surprise element–the key ingredient in such Blitzkrieg-style operations–given that they were slow to mobilize and stationed too far in the interior of India.

As a result, the Indian Army decided to implement structural and organizational changes. First, it decided to prop up its defensive corps (so-called Pivot Corps) stationed along the border with Pakistan with new offensive elements: division-sized integrated battle groups (IBG) consisting of artillery, armor, and aviation elements capable of limited offensive operations.

Second, the Indian Army also decided to disaggregate the three strike corps into division-sized IBGs and station them closer to the border. These IBGs, equipped with artillery, armored personnel carriers, MBTs, and infantry fighting vehicles, would be capable of launching limited strikes (50-80 kilometers deep) into enemy territory supported by air power.

To date, these changes have only partially been implemented due to a number of reasons including logistical problems and shortages of key equipment (e.g., self-propelled artillery). It is likely that the newly ordered T-90SM MBTs will be used for the IBGs. However, the MBTs alone will not suffice to put the Cold Start Doctrine from what up till now primarily appears to be a concept into actual reality.

Ok.
Is the nuclear warning for this week is given to us or we yet to receive.
So what happened to your surgical strike.

Indian tanks have no chance against the nuclear soopah pawa Pakistan. Pakistan has not only strategic nukes, they also have tactical nukes, short range ballistic nukes, cruise missiles and drones that carry nukes - and very soon, they'll be putting up nukes in backpacks of mujahids and boots of cars and then send them out to kill! India is doomed.
Not to forget the surgical strike.
 
Indian army first try to give proper food to its army people ...

enter Pakistan is not a child's play guys .. it will create alot of problems for india ..
 
Pinaka is non Nuclear beta google hi kr lytey.
hi,he is only talking about intercepting your missile not attacking by Pinaka.
Lateron Agni,prithvi and brahmos will follow the suit,if you anything in your arsenal to intercept this.
 
Pinaka is non Nuclear beta google hi kr lytey.

Meine ye kab bola ki Pinaka Nuclear hai? PINAKA will take out your NASR columns.. Are you debating that NASR can only be challenged by a Nuclear Missile?

After 32 years and over `1,000 crore later, the Akash missile system, crafted by India’s white elephant DRDO to protect the country from possible aerial threats, has been declared a dud by the Indian Army

Is this AKASH you are refering to or some other AKASH sitting in call centre and acting as a missile..

Currently 8 Squadrons of AKASH SAMS are in Service with the IAF and 2 Regiments of the AKASH are serving the Army. Try to Keep up.
 
we know our enemy, do we look worried
you have no idea what you dealing with, do you
Really. Then why you get your rear whipped from last 60 years. We done this 3 - 4 times atleast. Looks more like u don't know what you going to deal with.
 
Haha, nice one though i don't understand the point having tactical nukes when you can destroy whole nation with strategic one.

Well we just bought $3 bn emergency weapons, last month it was of $2 bn. Going to manufacture 1.58 lakh modern helmets, bought 50,000 bulletproof jackets & looking for more, assault rifle etc. So basically we are modernising our army & looking for US-styled unified command too, new doctrine is in work too. With S-400, Rafale for China, new tanks, BMD, more subs with K-4, AGNI-V, BrahMos with 600 km range, i think we will be prepared by the end of the decade for full scale war.

In that case you have nothing to worry about. Keep collecting weapons you don't have the cojones to use...Continue with the aggressive posturing because that's all you are capable of.
 
More pressure on Pak army to get more arms as it is clear that India is putting pressure on Pakistans eastern border.
