Pakistan Army to preempt India’s ‘Cold Start Doctrine’

[Edevelop]

ISLAMABAD: The concluding ceremony of war games named “Azm-e-Nau 4″ took place on Sunday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the war games were meant to operationalise new strategies against the evolving threat.

At the culmination of four years of war gaming and exercises, the Pakistan military has now adopted a ‘new concept of war fighting’ aimed at preempting India’s ‘Cold Start Doctrine,’ security officials said here.

The new concept seeks to improve troops’ mobilisation time and to put up a joint Army, Navy and Air Force response to any conventional threat.

The Azm-e-Nau exercises, which started in 2009, were part of the Army’s new concept of war fighting in response to India’s Pakistan specific Cold Start Doctrine.

The Cold Start doctrine is intended to allow India’s conventional forces to perform holding swift and unexpected attacks in a manner before international pressure could come to bear on India and before the Pakistani military could react i.e. in under 72 hours.

The Indian military, however, publicly denies the existence of any such doctrine.

The military official said under the new concept, in case of war, the Pakistan Army could mobilise in far less time as compared to India.

Speaking at the conclusion of two-week long war games, Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani sought people’s support to counter foreign military aggression against the country.

Kayani said military’s success hinges on being fully prepared, support of the people of Pakistan and other state institutions.

He also said the Army was fully committed to meet all future challenges squarely.

Pakistan Army to preempt India

Is that an APC or what? In the picture?

Turn Indian Cold start into a Indian " frozen and unable to start " Doctrine.

 

[Yeti]

India does not differentiate between the use of tactical nuclear weapons and longer range type of missiles, if a nuke is used it will result in full scale nuclear onslaught of all major cities in Pakistan and strategic centres.

If another terror attack such as 26/11 happens on Indian soil this time we will respond otherwise we wish to better our ties but the ball is in your court.

I doubt India will go to war if a 26/11 happens. Entering into a war with no objective is stupid.

 

[Awesome]

We have always had better troop mobilization than India. At its hearts India's cold start is primarily "fast troop mobilization". Pak Army should have means to disrupt this troop mobilization.

Oh trust me if another 26/11 type attack happens we will respond there is no country on earth which will not, even after 26/11 happened Obama said India is well within it's right to respond. Our objective is very clear remember what we did soon after 26/11? launched a spy sat we know where the terror camps are located in Pakistani occ Kashmir and Brahmos can hit them with pin point accuracy. Also RAW can do some activities from Afghanistan on their soil, pretty much all options are on the table as our blood is not cheap and the political pressure will be massive this time around.

India will do nothing. As usual.

killing a few terrorists in some random training camps cannot stop it. Infact it will create more terrorists. Inspite of political pressure, it will be stupid thing to do.

War is a disproportionate response to terrorism.

This PDF is crude but it shows the mood after 26/11, however we got Pakistan to act and they raided the terror camps in Pak held Kashmir.

Nobody is saying it will be a full scale war unless Pakistan ups the ante but if you suggesting India will do nothing your very naive because even after 26/11 if Pakistan did not raid the camps we would have mobilised, the war room was already filled with IAF and Indian Army heads talking about which action to take.

On 7 December, US Senator John McCain relayed a message from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, to a group of Pakistanis at a lunch in Lahore, that if Pakistan did not arrest those involved with the attacks, India would begin aerial attacks against Pakistan

The question is, what purpose will it serve. If it can solve the terrorism issue then may be it can be tried.
Even if pakistan did not have nuclear weapon and we could defeat them, I dont understand how it will stop terrorism.

Pakistan did what we asked and raided the camps otherwise who know what would have happened.

that was coercion, but I seriously doubt we will do it. Our leadership is not stupid, or manned by faujis..
