Attacking south has its own benfits other than damaging our IT industry..Inoder to cripple India's defence manufacturing you need to attack south..almost all the major defense manufacturing installations are in south..
Like i said, it doesn't matter. A hit to your queen i.e Mumbai, will send the SENSEX crashing in minutes, rupee crashing, RBI using up gold and dollar reserves to pop it up. Welcome to the world of split second commerce. Take a clue from Russia's economic woes, which are going to get a lot more worse.
Answer this, what would the Ambanis bet on? Crashing Indian stock market because of war, or cashing in quickly and saving their cash?
Another thing, go through the Zuhai Air Show thread, Pakistan has all it wants to buy, even if it comes from loans. You think Chinese wouldn't extend loan to Pakistan to fight India? No body saw the CM400AKGs coming in. When India got Brahmos, the members were jumping on it as the unbeatable missile, until the 'Carrier killer' came around. Money didn't prevent Pakistan from purchasing the most potent submarines in the region, i.e Agostas with AIP. You have not tested the resolve of the Pakistani people. Many have come and gone, critiqued the politics, the democracy, the dictatorship, but when it comes to throwing our weight behind our armed forces, we are ONE. Every bullet from across the LOC was responded in kind. Every killing made up for. No need to play with fire to boost ego. This is not India vs Pakistan cricket match. Thousands of lives are at stake.
OH BTW, the next gen MBT is already being evaluated, and rest assured, would be fast tracked into induction.
