What's new

Pakistan Army is ready to fight big Army like India.

They are, at best PA is involved in COIN ops which comes nowhere close to significant mobilisation.

No they are not and no military analyst says that. Please provide references as to who says this. There are many experts who have described the Taliban as quite the potent fighting force.

I agree it's not full mobilisation, but as the old saying goes "everything keeps you on your toes". It's better than endless drills or having fancy weapons without no real combat experience to go with it, cough, cough i.e. Global Firepower rankings.
 
Musharraf has said nothing out of the ordinary. He has only stated the obvious. If anyone bothers to read military history they will know that much smaller side doesnt just throw the towel, war doesnt happen that way. The smaller side tries to make it as difficult as possible for the much larger side to achieve its aims. It tries to inflict maximum casualties on the larger side and frustrate them as much as possible. This very nature of war prevents much larger sides from attacking smaller sides most of the times.
As an example consider this, after the Battle of Kursk in summer of 1943 this was the situation on the eastern front.

Thats 12 German armies up against 61 Soviet armies. Wouldve been a stroll in the park after that for the soviets, wouldnt it ? But no, not at all. The Soviets lost a further 3.5 million = 35 lac men in the next two years. The two years in which Germans have been supposed to make the biggest blunders.
Are 35 lac Indians willing to die just to capture Pakistan ?
 
Indian active military strength:1,325,000 while Pakistan's 617,000 which is a 2:1 almost, while for an offensive force you need to have the advantage of 3:1, Indians don't have such a big numerical advantage that they attack Pakistan, while Pakistan has to follow offensive defence.
