    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    @anupamsurey -I believe that the "motivated trained army "part has been taken from my post #287, if so you have understood it out of context Never in my post do I mention that the IA is not motivated or trained in any way, I merely pointed out what anyone analysing the military forces of the...

    Transfers will only happen during war that is when the saudi-paki pacts come into play.

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    When dealing with Pakistan we need to be aware of two things 1)Our adversary is a highly motivated and trained army with access to the best technology and equipment in the middle east comprising half a million soldiers, the only way to prevent arms transfers is to impose a sea lanes blockade and...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    I think the Chinese sold the missiles to the Saudis partially to create a smokescreen for transfers to Pakistan, that said I'd also like to point out that the ghauri is essentially a painted dprk nodong and is a well tested platform.

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    China had initially transferred m11 missiles to Pakistan, however more recently there has been confirmation of Chinese transferring df-21 missiles to Saudi Arabia. As you well know the Saudi establishment has long been thick with the Pakistani military, how long before a paki copy of the df -21...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    Nobody is talking about flattening both cities, if you read carefully you will see that i have repeatedly advocated the use of comparatively small 20kt weapons in an air-burst/earth penetration mode for both areas with the blast foci being the presidential house at the diplomatic enclave of...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    The distance from the diplomatic enclave in ISLAMABAD to the GHQ in RAWALPINIDI is around 20km so i guess you may be right saying that 2 bombs would be overkill only considering the distance, but take into account the fact that it is a definite certainty that both these locations would be...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    As for Quetta it is based in a mountainous region and we could use an earth penetrating warhead instead of an airburst , this would cause much lesser radiation while the shockwave through the ground would pulverize the city along with the haqqanis and the talibs anyhow.

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    Rawalpindi is the military HQ and Islamabad the political HQ,i think both should be taken out. why both well it's like you have gurgaon and you have delhi, both adjoin each other but both are major population centres in their own right. with an area of approx 1000sqkm the...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    In addition to the above reply these are the targets i propose you will notice that almost all of them are military towns of strategic influence and hitting these will act as morale breakers for the pakistani army. a) ISLAMABAD- this city does not hold any particular significance for any ethnic...

    Please read the list of locations i have provided in my earlier post they do not include Lahore, karachi or peshawar, as for Quetta it is more or less controlled by the Haqqanis and their Taliban allies now.The baloch have a claim to it only in name as their forces will be decimated by the ISI...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    I still think you delude yourself if you believe any political leadership has the gall to sit on the decision to retaliate til we achieve those goals, please understand the pressure from within the military's ranks itself will be immense, the rank and file soldier will ask questions on why a...

    Indian response to a Pakistani nuclear strike

    Ok i have gone through the thread and here is my 0.02 1) we all are talking as if the decision to launch will be a military one, it will not. The decision to retaliate to a Pakistani nuclear strike will be taken by the civilian political leadership the very leadership that relies on the votes of...
