    India Cold Start Doctrine and Pakistan's Tactical Nukes

    I am not shifting goalposts. I am simply telling about advantage of using a bigger fighter in strike role. Rafale would have the same advantage over Tejas, though to a lesser extent. I mentioned B2 because of its bigger size, not stealth.

    India Cold Start Doctrine and Pakistan's Tactical Nukes

The false flagger here is taking this article as an opportunity to sow doubts in minds of Indians. I don't understand why these are ashamed to show their true flags. Ashamed of their country...
