The Indian game plan is to have a massive cavalry and armor push through the deserts and try to cut pakistan in two.
Thus they gave the name Iron Fist.
LoL @ Iron Fist ... the Indians are clever with the name picking.
but I think Pakistan stole the show already by testing two missiles in this week which are targeted PRECISELY for Indian cavalry charge.
BTW, the Sukhois and Rafales will have to do a bit more hard work. the short range but accurate plutonium tipped missiles are designed to take the forward operational bases out and to wipe out armor colums.
So few enlarged rockets salvos are the reply of Pakistan for the below fire power??

If that is the case, we should cancel Rafale deal and buy/produce more bigger rockets..
