Some kind of realistic timeline...?

Not sure why you have decided to jump on me. I do not think that i have opposed your arguments. You have said that tactical nukes are not what they are being claimed to be. Some members dismissed tactical nukes totally. Combining the two points and accepting your point i just said they cannot...

Could be that tactical nukes are not worth the hype, but they cannot be dismissed. If tactical nukes meant nothing, than our army chiefs would not say that we will fight under a nuclear umbrella. There would also not be statements like 'we will call their nuclear bluff'. Now calling their...

Then why would Pakistan spend so much money on development of NASR and propaganda that a tactical nuke will stop India? If something was that silly, then they would be a laughing stock which has not happened. To me it is more plausible that NASR may be somewhat effective and the nuclear...

I know that about you. Cheers! I suppose you are talking of a subcontinent SF vs NATO regular military in a battlefield... or perhaps a regular NATO force is as effective as a subcontinent SF in flushing out terrorists...? Then maybe i get your point. But for a task which is supposed to be...

Yep, i know. Commanders get pissed if soldiers under their command get killed or injured badly. But i would think that a COAS will not say that our SF is the best. An equivalent statement can be made. And you said that a regular NATO force (you even mentioned NATO paramilitary force) can...

@Irfan Baloch specifically said any first word (NATO) regular force or paramilitary force

Can you clarify this more lucidly? If a NATO regular force can compete with SFs of India, Pakistan, Iran and Uganda, then none of the subcontinent SFs would find a mention in any of the top SFs.

Thanks for the more realistic scenario. 65-80% casualty rates is a very sobering thought - it is a huge number. Aam junta does not have the appetite for that; whatever typical news anchors may holler about, the reality is different. IA might have sufficient firepower, but accepting death of our...

Did any official Indian sources call it as China killer? Just some usual jingoistic media houses named it so. My comment was actually meant for Pakistan. We have a declared NFU nuke policy. It is your establishment which talks of small nukes for stopping Indian IBGs; now from your comment you...

That race cannot be won given the current trajectories of both nations. I also doubt that we are trying to win against China - at least this aspect does not seem to have sunk into our national consciousness right now. We can try miniature nukes a la Pakistan with the goal that only a...

?? Sometimes the young crowd (around 20 ish age) in India is quite aggressive and disrespectful. But they are probably also more confident than the older ones.

It is a two-way street. If you moderate well, welcome others to a reasonable extent, then netizens will come. Did this forum start with the intent that it would welcome everyone and would make decent efforts to keep it that way or is it your claim that it is an inherent attitude of the...

Then PDF would become very similar to the Indian defence forums you people despise. The subcontinent is not great at moderating itself unless some countervailing thought is present.

Well, i know that you have this theory that all Indo-Pak wars ended in India's favour due to money exchanging hands. I find this hard to believe, and most of Pak members have not backed up your claims even though they dislike NS. The only remote chance of NS agreeing to Indian demands would be...

I'm not a military person nor do i understand battlefield tactics etc., but from wiki it seems that Pak has a decent amount of SPGs and A-100s, similar to the numbers fielded by India. So i was wondering how just a 100 or so K-9s can be so effective. Same about how a few ATAGS can be so...

Wouldn't the SPGs and A-100s of Pakistan pose a lot of problems? Are about 100-150 K-9s enough for us?

Oh, come on... no need to troll... If this is true then the morale of IA is just too low and PA wouldn't worry about it, or is the moral of PA worse than IA's? And if this is true then most of the deaths which some of your elite members gloat over have nothing to do with your army.

What is the current status? Wikipedia is not updated.

Depends on how much time China is willing to invest on the project. If Pakistan does desire to have a better R&D environment than it currently has, it may be better to pool and enhance its resources for a future project. A heavier fighter is always accessible in the form of J-10 series.
