Then there are different phases of a battle, in the first phase the highest technically and electronic and most qualified weapons are used from both sides, that is the phase of artillery bombardments and air raids. In this chaotic situation, not much of the electricity and electrical equipment or Hightech equipment as it is now in the Orbat lists will be functional as it was planned. For example a Alkhalid Tank Unit, was attacked by Indian loitering munitions, 50% of the unit was destroyed and 20% of the tank unit is still in excellent condition as before while the rest 30% is still functional, means the optronics and thermal visions of the Tanks are destroyed through the shrapnel and impact of the loitering munitions but the weapons of the Tank and the crew survived, so the machine will be now good as the crew’s are trained, understand and learned their Tank-machines. So it will be with most of the equipment, the expensive equipment will only be functional and useful when your enemy has not a functional Army, for example US-Iraq wars. In Pakistan and Indian war scenarios both Army’s will face heavy resistance when they try to capture and hold territory.
The India’s can buy what ever they want, if India really want to capture and hold Pakistani territory, then it can only be done by conquering the deep Pakistani defence strongholds and defence lines. Coming back to loitering munitions. If it’s known by Pakistani ground formations that air cover will not be provided and there is a high danger of loosing men and material through Indian air operations, then it’s the responsibility of the Generals and field commanders to prepare fighting positions such as firing trenches and holes for Tanks and artillery guns, underground ammunition lines near the expected battle field, reserve communication lines which are independent from electronic, field hospitals build in tunnels, analysing and study the natural terrain which can be used as protection in future war. If the positions in peace time are prepared then they can be covered and camouflaged by planting trees and green plants, if it’s in the deserts then it’s sand. I doubt that the Pakistani military has implemented such strategy of defence lines as I described above, peace time Tank garages, Military bases and bushes on Tanks can’t probably protect men and material from Indian bombardments. The mission objective in the defensive strategy is to save equipment and survive men till the opportunity arrives to counter attacks.
So at the edge of the war or peak, it comes down to facts, motivation of the soldiers, functional of mechanical parts of the equipment, supplies of food and ammunition. This are some factors which will decide the victory or defeat. We have seen that perfectly in the Kargil war and the recent global civil wars. For a defensive war Pakistan is very well prepared. For large scale Offensives not !
