Indian air chief threatens Pakistan over LoC unrest.

[Silverblaze]

What has prevented India from going to war with Pakistan is not your 'Military Arsenal'. India don't care about your 'Military Arsenal'. It is small and inconsequential. What has prevented India from going to war is your nukes. If not for your nukes, India would have gone to war just after 26/11.

Aren't nukes part of Pakistan's military arsenal?

Ballistic missiles and a new gen of nuclear weapons have developed very rapidly after 2008.

As far conventional weapons are concerned, well there has been improvement as the 3:1 difference has dropped.
Calling them inconequential is a bit unfair.

The problem is that some still have in mind the Pakistan of 71 which is just helping in deceiving themselves.

The bottomline is that India cannot attack Pakistan, but media war will be on for a little while.

@Paan Singh....why just talk selectively, let's focus on the overall picture and since you people keep dragging in Minhas and Kamra to lift your tail, do you even know you had your own versions during the Khalistan insurgency but hey you belong to snow white kingdom while we suppose to be in denial.

In 2012 PAF lost 6 Fighter jets(4 mirages,2 F-7's).

In 2012 IAF lost 4 Fighter jets(2 Mirages,1 MiG 21,1 Jaguar).

The second lik is from 1989.

Yes, if Mumbai could not make India attack Pakistan, I don't think this incidence will make India attack Pakistan. As regarding 'inconsequential', it is relative. As India spends almost ten times as much as Pakistan's defense budget as on its military budget, it is in a relative way 'inconsequential'. Moreover, geographically Pakistan is very shallow. 90% of its major cities and population are just on the other side of the border. Any conventional war is in India's favor overwhelmingly. Hence if not for nukes, India would have gone all out war with Pakistan after Mumbai, just as these nukes prevented India–Pakistan standoff in 2001-2002 after Indian Parliament attack into a war

Post-26/11, Mukherjee's words rattled Pakistan: Condoleezza Rice - Times Of India

Pakistanis were rattled so much that when your fighters crossed LOC, we locked and made them ran away and showed the pictures to Senator Kerry.

So, as i said look at the overall picture......while PAF has been conducting daily sorties for last several years against militants, hence more combat flying, when was the last time the IAF fired in anger.
Must i spoon feed you all.....read my post again....during the height of Khalistan insurgency, the hangar roof collapse was generally reported as sabotage.
