I can confirm I was the one who mailed this to the leadership of Taliban.
Ya'll Nibbiars now tell me is there any missile in the Indian arsenal that can strike kabul without a ballastic trajectory?.

700 km for 1000 kg

It's has 1900 Km range with lower payload

It's quassi ballistic
Ya'll Nibbiars will not the Paki Mullahs take it serious if we even Launch a Quasi Ballatic missile through their territories?.

Ya'll Nibbiars Bharmos strike away what's the distance from the Indian border's to the Kabul?.
Well Destroyers and Figrates will be used
Like during 30 Feb 2019 Karachi
But Afgh is land locked. So missiles have to fly over Iran or Pakistan. Not sure if they are friendly enough to allow us to do so.
Ya'll Nibbiars even from a ship launched scenario the distance would be 1,300 Km plus and have to fly low and that's also in the balochistan and Pakistani territory. And there is no Cruise missile of the range atleats now.
Ya'll Nibbiars K 15 has a 700 range are their range increased?. And even the Surya missile has a ballastic trajectory.
We can reach Kabul/Kandahar with BrahMos.

The distance of Kabul from J&K is around 450km, well within land-launched as well as air-launched BrahMos.
Kandahar is more tricky as it sits somewhere around 600 km from Rajasthan, and 800km from the Arabian sea. We can reach Kandahar with air-launched BrahMos from Rajasthan.

Another way is, use Tajikistan as an intermediate base, if Iran does not allow us to fly armed Sukhoi over its territory, arm them at Ayni Airbase and strike from there.

P.S :-

Land-launched BrahMos range :- 600 km
Air-launched BrahMos:- 800+ km.

BrahMos range disclosed to media (290 km) is a lie to avoid CAATSA.

Ya'll Nibbiars if nirbhay is in truly in limited service the can but still from where and how that the question and low flying also needs to be taken into the conseradations from the shoreline.

Ya'll Nibbiars can a Salvo of bharmos easily survive any potential Pakis Mullahs air defence?. If a low flying is taken?.

Ya'll Nibbiars it's around 500 km achievable for a Air launched variants. From Srinagar to Kabul. And that's also in a low flying.

Brahmos cannot be shutdown by any Air defense known yet
Probability will be low even for Thaad or Aster-30

The case of Afghanistan intrigues me.

It's a experimental ground for veryfying various theories In human psychology and culture.

Approx how much time would it take and how many generation to orient the people against Taliban like islamo facism.

At most u will have three generations in a society at any time the grandparents, parents and children.
Each successive generations is easier to brainwash if they grow apart.

School and college are the biggest factors after family when it comes to shaping ideology there are other factors such as media, internet, sm etc.

Would things have turned out different if USA had gone for cultural revolution by influencing school, colleges media etc

Low flying would mean final strike mode. Would be very difficult to intercept it.

Their best chance would be when it is cruising towards its target.

Ya'll Nibbiars Then any HQ series missile systems can't stop a Bharmos to Kabul.

Ya'll Nibbiars are there any chances that the Pakistani in disguise set up any air defence in the Kabul?.

A BrahMos will cross Pakistan within 4.5 minutes, the best SAM Pakistan has, HQ-16 has a range of 40km (80 diameter coverage).
If we assume that the missile passes directly over the HQ-16 SAM, the SAM will have a reaction time of 1.2 0.6 minutes.

In short -
- Can they scramble jets and shoot it down? Probably no because their response time is not better than 4 minutes.
- Can their AD shoot it down? Depends, low probability but possible if they get lucky. This is assuming BrahMos is flying a high trajectory to achieve max range.

Correction:-

Since 3 Mach speed can only be intercepted in head-on chase mode, only chance of downing a BrahMos is if HQ-16 launches the missile before BrahMos crosses it. So the reaction time of HQ-16 drops to 1/2, that is 0.6 minutes, or approximately 36 seconds.

Conclusion:- Nearly impossible.

Ya'll Nibbiars A low flying Air launched Bharmos can achieve the 500 km range if your numbers are taken into the conseradations. And will reach the kabul easily.

Cruise missiles against moving targets like Talibs are useless.

They will move into their caves. Best bet would be drone strikes for which we will need access to Afghan soil or that of its immediate neighbours.

Will have to hit them when they are holding their talks. Given that we have seldom attacked large Maotard gatherings, I have little to no hope of visible cross border missile strikes.

Anyway, it will be a massive escalation after Balakot. Wishful thinking... where do I get so much copium from to even visualise it?

We need PGMs for mortars and Arty in lakhs of pieces to instil some fear into Tali and their handlers in PA.
