Do you really expect there to be no conflict in that area ever again? No, that is not possible.
I sincerely hope that there is no conflict between India and Pakistan.
I find it a total waste and a millstone around our necks, which is stopping all progress for our countries and improvement for our people.
Personally, I feel that both India and Pakistan has for too long been under the Poverty Line, when in actuality, if we use our resources and finances wisely and without wasteful wars amd huge armies, we will be as good as any in the world.
I don't mean becoming Superpowers. I find that another illusion that need not be a benchmark. It is adequate if we can give our people health, education. health care and jobs.
If one has been on these heights, one will realise that wars in such heights are very time consuming and strenuous. There being no vegetation, any movement can be observed for miles provided there is no intervening features.
For instance, the Tiger Hill battle took 11 hours or so. It is not the question of the battle alone, it also involved the climb and move. It is immensely difficult to move on the trot in the High Altitude owing to the rarefied atmosphere. Likewise, the ballistic signature of weapons go awry!
I read in one of the post that had the PAF been used, things would be different. That is not so. Again, the rarefied atmosphere plays havoc and what is worse since the pinnacles where the troops are is small, bombs and arty shells normally fall under or over and there is very little effect of the arty shelling unless it is done in preponderance. That is also a problem since shoot and scoot has to be done as the Counter Bombardment can play havoc since the deployment areas are few in the mountains and most have been registered by predicted fire. Hence, a whole lot of ammunition cannot be stored on ground!
That is an explanation that has been given very simplistically with the basic and is applicable to high altitude mountain warfare.
