Some Geographical Advantage Points of Pakistan That May Effect The Outcome of Future War in Kashmir!

So We Are in Agreement

Neither country can roll into the other without the potential for massive losses

As I see it.

India may have numerical superiority but its not large enough to be decisive . The IAF is definitely not capable of getting total supremacy the the armies are fairly evenly matched.

I doubt one is better trained than the other...…... they are on par.

India definitely has the huge advantage in resources ie finances so can sustain war longer but at detriment to GDP growth.

" This explains why we have status quo AND despite modi doing what he wants in Kashmir AND the Pak ARMY supporting covert political help in Kashmir nothing has or will change.

WAR is not a option

That said, as the indian poster pointed (arjun), to be honest nobody would be worried about arjun MBTs.. the best tank in indian inventory is the T-90.

Imagine your spies tellin you that your enemy is preparing for an invasion.. and you casually brush the whole scenario under the carpet, only to regret later.
As for the Russian armored -getting clues from Syria, Libya etc. - leave the job to this lil' Ebabil armed with mini-ammunition (and, it takes care of the air defenses first):

Best strategy is to let them attack first and give it a very powerful response and in first counter attack we can go capture deep parts of indian occupied kashmir.

Attacking first for either side means loss of 60% plus forces with in the starting days. Seeing all these defensive capabilities on both sides.

We can't invade but in counter attack we can

Whoever strikes first has the initiative and can inflict huge damage on the other side. Both sides are capable enough to hit hard first and incapacitate the other side with a well planned strategy. Id rather we hit first than they hit us first.

Last year was a different story... we cant count on our enemies to fail every time they to are able to learn from past mistake and train for a better future.

The feasible way would be to engage from shakar garh and sialkot, another incursion from north of Srinagar and a 3rd one from kargil. With local kashmiri support the northern Srinagar incursion will be successful, the sialkot shakargarh one will be highly contested and the kargil incursion will determine how far we can stretch our eastern boundary. Better take GB and KPK lashkars from kargil, they fight better in mountains. With limkted support from china, Pakistan can take area till hemis national park.

An ideal scenario for the ist strike corps based in Mangla.

Chinese are always in a look out to put pressure on India .

In 1999 we did try ,nearly reached the main National Highway. Hopefully next time it will be better planned.

Our NLI are from GB region, they are the best mountain warriors.

There is a FLIP SIDE to your geography advantage of Pakistan.

Most observers both neutral and Indian believe Pakistans geography is it biggest weakness

Firstly all of your major cities are close the the indo pak border. That means your industrial and commercial complex can be disrupted infact devastated in a war scenario.
Second Pakistan has no strategic depth to withdraw or regroup ie they way Russia did in WW2 with germany
Pakistan for the most part is flat land NO NATURAL barrier like india has the Himlayers dividing them from china.

In theory indians do not need to travel too far to cause serious disruption to Pakistan industrial and military complex.

in contrast indian industrial complex is wide spread ….your planes and missles will need to travel much further.

Remember India has three times the air bases naval bases radar stations brides roads rail links army barracks of Pakistan over 3 times the land mass.

pakistan needs far more time , planes missles etc to achieve the same damage.

* Infact a all out war 80% of indian and Indians will be unaffected by a war on the LOC and international boundry its too far. For majority Pakistanis it will be right on their door step since your major populous is Punjabi and in Punjab area.
hey buddy u took it reverse
its advantage to pakistan
having population centers close to border means very less time to mobilize the main forces
while indians need last i checked 13 days do bring major units to the area pakistanis can throw in major units in 48 hours max.
not if this is not an advantage then u need to go and sell ice cream somewhere

We will capture this and that and do what? Run later and lose majority of soldiers while retreating. Remember Kargil? To fight a prolonged war you need resources, oil reserves and money.

This is the most sensible statement in this thread to date.

Pakistanis ability to fight a full.blown war is about 7 to 10 days. Beyond this reserves fuel ammo will run out

Having said that israel.beat three arab armies in 7 days in 1967. Starting with the most deadly pre emptive air strike ever

Ammo will definitely not finish, unlike India who had to seek other countries for ammo during Kargil. Not sure about the fuel capacity ,but regarding hardware we have the capacity to fight for longer durations. Cannot say about the financial implications on both sides.
