Learning from the events in Ukraine-Russia war:
Pakistan should procure or make long range suicide drones like these:
These drones could be used instead of cruise missiles to destroy Indian bases like Russia destroyed Ukrainian bases. These drones can also gather intelligence and destroy enemy convoys or enemy sams. These drones are very cheap apparently costing Iranians only $50k each to make so we can afford to lose many.
Pakistan should also procure or create something similar to USA’s MALD decoy:
These can fool enemy radars and make enemy sam’s fire at them exposing the enemy’s location. We could have the suicide drone i posted above fly behind these decoys and once the decoy makes the sam expose its position the suicide drone takes out the sam system or just SEAD/DEAD fighters ready to take out enemy sam’s when they engage them these decoys. In Ukraine mobile sam’s have become a real pain for Russians. We might face something similar.
Pakistan also needs to increase the number of mlrs and self propelled artillery we have. In Russia vs Ukraine war we’ve seen the heavy use of artillery and the importance of artillery. Ukraine uses drones to find Russian army convoys then sends that information to its self propelled howitzers which attack and destroy the convoy and leave the area in a matter of time.
Pakistan also needs many many more mobile Sam’s. Chinese HQ-17AE could be a very good option:
In Ukraine, Russian convoys paid a heavy price via Ukrainian drones and even fighter jets and attack helicopters. Russian Air Force also paid a heavy price because Ukrainian mobile Sam’s weren’t all destroyed and they’ve turned into a headache for Russians. Ukrainians mobile Sam’s are proving to be more of a headache then long range systems like s-300.
Pakistan also needs something similar to NLAW. In Ukraine NLAW has been revoking havoc on Russian armour. We need a light atgm which features top attack and fire and forget just like NLAW and can also be used in close quarters. Turkish have Karaok atgm which is similar to NLAW as in its light, has a range of around 1 km, has fire and forget and top attack mode.
Pakistan should also develop a light vehicle similar to Russian Tigr to replace all its Hilux’s in the army.
It should have heavy machine gun, atgms and good sensors. These could reck havoc on Indians.
Lastly, the most important part, Pakistan should, in areas bordering india, give training on how to use weapons to locals. Every single person capable of fighting should be given military training. Pakistan should make secret weapon and ammo depots in these border villages and when war starts give weapons to locals to help pak army or to wage guerrilla war in their villages if India captures it. In any next Pakistan india war, some villages will fall to Indians. If the population of these villages wage a guerrilla war it will be very hard for Indians to hold these villages while countering pak army.
