Well Pak can pay for the F16's but they will get soya beans instead and if you are lucky
they might even make you pay for parking them up in America.
This outdated thinking, in my opinion. With China now in the mix, US is no longer interested in creating a “balance in the teguon.” US has targeted India has a strategic partner, tasked to be a bulwar against China.
If US was actually serious about creating a balance in South Asia, Pakistan would have received the F-16s long ago.
Remains undefined till this date. However Gen Kidwai laid out reasons from economic terrorism to critical military installation under attack by adversary as a reason to go red. The actual concern here is that tactical nukes are under the command of corps commander hence the uncertainty.What is the nuclear threshold?
Elaborate further what you call a punitive strike or action against Pakistan.Sure, but eventually for India; a time will come when actions would have to be punitive

I can tell you that the idea that Pakistan thinks Kashmir different than mainland Pakistan is the reason why this makes it very uncertain. Any miscalculation from either side can have disastrous impact on the region.Exactly. Now, if there were no existential threat to Pakistan and the thrusts happened across the LoC, but not across the IB, will the corps commander use a tactical nuke? With the knowledge, that the Indian response will be a full spectrum assault? Or will the response be to blunt the Indian attack by imposing losses and then trying to negotiate a return to a plausible status quo?
The answer according to the Indian thought process today, is no. And the reason for this is in the belief that the PA remains a professional force. The past actions (without getting into the debate of whether they were successful or not) of India needs to be seen in this perspective.
The Indian view, today, is that the PA will not risk mainland Pakistan for Kashmir.

Pakistan has enough nukes to wipe india of the face of the planet forever. Pakistan doesn't JUST have tactical nukes only. Pakistan even has had thermonuclear capability since at least early 2011:
Pakistan Doubling Rate of Making Nuclear Weapons: Time for Pakistan to Reverse Course | Institute for Science and International Security
ISIS is a non-profit, non-partisan institution providing public knowledge of nuclear proliferation and international security.isis-online.org
This is the reason india can't mess with Pakistan despite being more than 7× bigger than Pakistan and having the full backing of the West and Russia.
india will not risk being annihilated and wiped off the face of the universe for the sake of annexing Azad Kashmir.
Again, I say this. There is a change in the mindset of strategic planners in India. And this has nothing to do with BJP/Congress.
Lol it has everything to do with BJP
It was a drama to get votes in elections. Winning elections was the goal
40 CRPF boys and 6 boys of IAF MI17 were just an opportunity cost for BJP and whatever "strategic planners" were behind the aerial attack
No wonder India didn't retaliate after losing 1 aircraft, losing face, 1 MI17 helicopter and 6 men because it got what it achieved. Victory in elections. Modi media was enough to make who balakot strike and abhinandan equivalent to Omaha beach landing
BJP effectively used that media to sell its failed strikes. No need to retaliate to Pakistani strikes when media is doing its job of fooling masses who would in the end vote for BJP
You are welcome to your opinion of course and believe what you want. But, you will find the Congress will be no different. They will be more flowery about it. That's all.
I suggest you read Pax Indica. By Shashi Tharoor. Congressman. ex MEA and diplomat. Your misconceptions will be quickly removed. India has been most intrusive with its neighbourhood under the Congress. You do not wish the read history, not my problem.
Because there is no shame in accepting that F-16 block 70/V is way ahead of JF-17 Block 3 or even 4. F-16 is a proven platform and it's the top reason why IAF was kept on the bay for all these years, and even in swift Retort, it was F-16's that scores the kill. JF's are good for Quantity which comes with decent Quality as well but when it comes to F-16's V or BLK 70's they are no match, and if PAF can get 18-36 of F-16V to create a balance in the region with upcoming Rafale, IAF will think 10 times before using their new French toys against Pakistan.
Pakistan owned the escalation ladder at all instances. Whether it was those surgical strike drama of 2016 or Balakot strikes
Pakistan was ahead in escalation at all instances and showed that it won't step back in face of any military aggression
Yeah you can f*ck up your constitution by removing articles from it. We never accepted your constitution or its articles so that doesn't matter for us.
PS: Do a research. Count all the Indian soldiers killed in cross border firing under "soft PM" man mohan singh in 10 years and then compare that to 7 years of Modi. The result would tell you why all the "tough and new India" image is just for domestic consumption
Its called missing the forest for the trees and jumping in without understanding what the discssion was about. Have a good time.
Do message me when you capture so called P O K for which Amit Shah was willing to give his life in your parliament
