India previously extensively used Afghanistan to it's advantage to target Pakistan and continues to use Iran, UAE, and to a relatively limited extent Afghanistan to attack Pakistan while conventionally, it has also kept Pakistan occupied on it's Eastern front at LoC and IB.
It was widely reported India allocated funds to target CPEC, around
500 million dollars, and despite our excellent efforts to contain the actions, we are adversely affected by their operations. With Money, you can buy thugs, sell-outs and even common people from population.
On electronic front, leaving aside cyber attacks on by known and unknown countries, India is brain-washing masses through propaganda and false information through it's media outlets and unfortunately, more than half if not majority of people are not smart enough or wise to recognize the truth from falsehood.
In Short, we are fighting continuously on 3 fronts; a. kinetic insurgency b. conventional threat (including skirmishes from time to time) c. electronic warfare (OSINT, fake news, cyber attacks)
Currently, we are disadvantaged in all three and only our trump card fares well (Nuclear) which can only be counted or utilized in limited extent ( all-out war? etc)
Some immediate course correction steps are needed by military and political planners.
1. Aggressive Posture: Canceling all peaceful gestures with India including sharing sweets etc. Show public the resolution that we are not on good terms. I am even open to planning operations inside India despite not succeeding in operations in the past (1965, Siachin 1980s, Kargil 1999). Our strategy afterall is offensive-defence and PAF has worked well on such strategy.
2. Part of point 1, expand networks within India and especially in IoK and raise the temperature. There is little to no room to work any other way with the incumbent government of India and it's military other than to hit them back inside their territory and inflict damage. Otherwise, it is a losing game for Pakistan as we are witnessed to it until now.
3. Continue IBOs while start changing traditional information and PR. ISPR, Govt institutions need to be on offense and sharing declassified past and active current information to public including sometimes intelligence, graphical images of dead terrorists etc. We need to counter Indian propaganda with better propaganda of us. (Def of Propaganda: Propaganda is
the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion).
4. Invest in EW, conventional and sub-conventional warfare. Modernization is going good as of now.
5. Man up to Iran and UAE. We have good military and intelligence contacts with UAE and we need to work with them to kick out Indian operations running from there.
We will see results in both short-term and long term if we start acting on these from this moment.
