Oh really? As far as 2008 is concerned, Pakistan has militarily made massive strides as well. Either way those purchases have now been checkmated by Pakistan as of 2011. So as far as Pakistan is concerned, indian conventional military superiority is null and void from our perspective. Also if what you say is true then india would have launched an attack against Pakistan in December 2015 after the military base attack in pathankot both to avenge that attack and for mumbai 26/11/2008 Let me explain: Before May 1998, high ranking indian politicians, scientists, military officials and other so called experts all vehemently and confidently claimed that Pakistan could NEVER EVER possess nuclear weapons with or without Chinese assistance. They got the shock of their lives when we tested our nukes and could not believe or fathom how this was possible. Now keeping in line with severe underestimations of Pakistan's military, the following independent and factual article from 2011 is very pertinent:

The above confirms the fact that Pakistan does indeed have the capability to produce H-bombs and thermonuclear weapons in 2011. Imagine what Pakistan's strategic weapons capabilities are now in 2016. Especially in light of increased assistance by China in our missile and other military programs.This is very telling. Pakistan now in all probability has the ability to annihilate our enemy in any war that gets out of hand. The indian military high command is aware of this reality which is why it is reluctant to attack Pakistan regardless of whatever internet trolls and armchair generals say on PDF.
How many exercises does the PA conduct at the corps level every year?
Apologies, I honestly took you as a "Sane" member.
No need to apologize. Even Einstein was considered insane.
It appears some people are so badly misinformed about nuclear weapons that they need their first round of education, right from the basics.
Read the article in its entirety.

All myths and some facts which are relevant in the Indo-Pak scenario.
Myth: Fallout radiation from a nuclear war would poison the air and all parts of the environment. It would kill everyone.
Myth: Fallout radiation penetrates everything; there is no escaping its deadly effects.
Myth: Because some modern H-bombs are over 1000 times as powerful as the A-bomb that destroyed most of Hiroshima, these H-bombs are 1000 times as deadly and destructive.
Myth: A Russian nuclear attack on the United States would completely destroy all American cities.
- Fact: As long as Soviet leaders are rational they will continue to give first priority to knocking out our weapons and other military assets that can damage Russia and kill Russians. To explode enough nuclear weapons of any size to completely destroy American cities would be an irrational waste of warheads. The Soviets can make much better use of most of the warheads that would be required to completely destroy American cities; the majority of those warheads probably already are targeted to knock out our retaliatory missiles by being surface burst or near-surface burst on their hardened silos, located far from most cities and densely populated areas.
India related fact: Indian cities are bigger than American cities.
Myth: So much food and water will be poisoned by fallout that people will starve and die even in fallout areas where there is enough food and water.
- Facts: If the fallout particles do not become mixed with the parts of food that are eaten, no harm is done. Food and water in dust-tight containers are not contaminated by fallout radiation. Peeling fruits and vegetables removes essentially all fallout, as does removing the uppermost several inches of stored grain onto which fallout particles have fallen. Water from many sources -- such as deep wells and covered reservoirs, tanks, and containers -- would not be contaminated. Even water containing dissolved radioactive elements and compounds can be made safe for drinking by simply filtering it through earth, as described later in this book.
Myth: Most of the unborn children and grandchildren of people who have been exposed to radiation from nuclear explosions will be genetically damaged will be malformed, delayed victims of nuclear war.
Myth: Overkill would result if all the U.S. and U.S.S.R, nuclear weapons were used meaning not only that the two superpowers have more than enough weapons to kill all of each other's people, but also that they have enough weapons to exterminate the human race.
Myth: Blindness and a disastrous increase of cancers would be the fate of survivors of a nuclear war, because the nuclear explosions would destroy so much of the protective ozone in the stratosphere that far too much ultraviolet light would reach the earth's surface. Even birds and insects would be blinded. People could not work outdoors in daytime for years without dark glasses, and would have to wear protective clothing to prevent incapacitating sunburn. Plants would be badly injured and food production greatly reduced.
Myth: Unsurvivable "nuclear winter" surely will follow a nuclear war. The world will be frozen if only 100 megatons (less than one percent of all nuclear weapons) are used to ignite cities. World-enveloping smoke from fires and the dust from surface bursts will prevent almost all sunlight and solar heat from reaching the earth's surface. Universal darkness for weeks! Sub-zero temperatures, even in summertime! Frozen crops, even in the jungles of South America! Worldwide famine! Whole species of animals and plants exterminated! The survival of mankind in doubt!

Overall, nuclear weapons are so overrated that the only thing scary about them are the stories around them.
