Should pakistan increase the number of troops

[ZAC1]

PA ,PAF & PN is increasing their personals ,installations already...don't worry they know it already.

 

[Khan_patriot]

Quality matters..... Not Quantity....!!!!

And in Class our troops have no match across the globe..

So Hell No..!

Blind faith is not going to do anyone any good, although your sentiment is appreciated but calling our troops "unmatched", is taking it a bit far.
Our troops might be some of the best butt would agree with calling them the best definitively.

No for Army. Yes for paramilitary (FC & Rangers etc). It would be better to shift some military numbers into paramilitary and assign specialized role of internal security and counter terrorism and let army focus on external threats.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Not really , give them better equipment , training , pay and Organize them betterly ..

i saw a show by anchor named Wajahat, he was describing the structure of Pak armed forces. And it was shown that most of our forces are placed in Punjab...And only one Core command (or whatever the biggest unit is called in military terms i forgot it) is in Sindh. And that is also the point where indians plan to execute there so called cold start doctrine. I seriously believe that we should increase our strength in Sindh region, as we should not leave any holes in our preparation given that our enemy is already bigger in numbers.

One more thing, we should station permanent 1 - 1.5 lakh soldiers along afghan border.

Thats my concernd reason i open this thread because we dont have enough forces between rahim yar and karachi only one corp with 3 division as opossing to 3 indian corps as well as in kashmir 150000 pak troops against 700000 indian troops 1:7 in favour of india

12 Corps at Quetta with 33rd and 41st Infantry divisions provides depth to 5 Corps Karachi as well as acts as holding Corps for defence of Sindh.

@Sarge You have military knowledge more than most here. What is the nukes for? Are they a deterant and the final arbiter of force against India?

I come here to learn and i am still learning through discussions

Nukes could be brought into play if Pakistani territory is in danger of being over run/cut off/lost or already over run (in case of Nasr). Also if Pakistan is nuked, it will respond with nukes.

Just for elites keep to the gullible Pakistanis happy that they have Islamic bomb.
It's no deterrent - it will never see any use because they know the bloody aftermath.

Thus it is Pakistan's shield therefore PA can be downsized.

Lemme guess - that's not the case with the 'Hindu bomb' that keeps the gullible rickshaw pulling fools happy while the elite live life of riley?

As I expected, it's very difficult for Indians to express opinions in a Pakistani forum. You will say everything against India, but I'm told I'm trolling when I fight back. Disappointing.

But that is in balochistan and it will take long to get that corp on eastren front in case of war

Nasar not going to hold ground. to hold ground need boots on ground

When the clouds of war show up, the units start moving towards their deployment areas. In this case, towards Sindh borders.The whole Corps doesnt move altogether, usually in the form of brigades.

Assuming a scenario of Indian cold start, which means indian armoured and mechanised Brigades of Holding Corps will attack Pakistan, the main requirement is to blunt the attacks of T-90 and BMP-2 at the border.

The 16th Infantry Div and 18th Infantry Div have atleast one brigade deployed already near the border. The deployments in army usually show where the HQ's are situated, the deployment of manoeuvre battalions and brigades (fighting troops) can be at a distance.

If you look at Indian army deployments of armoured divisions, they are at a much more distance from border compared to pakistani armoured divisions.

Pakistan is already holding ground. The only issue is not to lose it. If Indian armoured thrust breaks through PA forward positions then it is time to use Nasr. That would destroy any Indian spearhead leaving status quo. Therefore no more troops are needed.

If the plan is to go and grab Indian territory then yes I suppose you need more men. But that is ambitious and beyond the scope of Pakistan when the enemy is larger by the order of 7 times.
