Cold start and use of Air power against artillery

[debasree]

we badly need lots of tracked & wheeled howitzers instead of towed one,so in the case of rapid movement of enemy territorry the guns can support our frontline soldiers the future war will be short so we have to destroy pakistans chain of command in avery short span of time ,the longer the conflict goes the international pressure will allso increase on us,and we need lots of attack helicopters like apache lah or mi-28 to give our troops air cover & to destroy paki armour.

we need both of these for cold start

OFB can make 105 mm gun in house on BMP with range of 17km, is good for cold start. Bhim as and when it come will be good for 40-50km.

What happens to Pakistani perspective that they'll use nuclear weapons in case of substantial loss of territory the best thing would be to hold strategic choke-points and never give it up.do not repeat Haji pir pass mistakes..

Pak nuclear doctrine is based on Sundarji Doctrine of india which was clear in the objective of cutting Pakistan into two. That's what made Pakistan say they will use nukes if substantial portion of their territory is lost. Cold start does not intend to do that. Imagine advancing 25-50kms inside Pak, it gives us roughly 75000 sqkm of territory to bargain or if required, as buffer.

Pakistan now does not have an answer to cold start vis a vis it's nuke doctrine, that's why the latest bluff of Nasr to be used with Tactical nukes which are non existent in the sub continent.

any tactical nuke attack any indian advancing colums would be suicidal for pakistan because it will be in their own territory added to the maximum nuclear retalliation against their cities.also along with armoured blitzkreig we might also see extensive cruise missiles and air attack on vital targets like ghq rawalpindi and missile bases like us operations in the begining of gw-2

All legitimate military targets will be attacked as per the doctrine. GHQ is a legitimate target. Yes we should expect intensive use of cruise missiles esp brahmos to deliver ordinance with precision.

It appears to be a good start would be great if they refined these with Bofors guidance
