In hindsight, it all looks so very simple, doesn't it?
Hi,
That is why you have a WHAT TO DO list---. From Defcon 5 to Defcon 1---.
You don't need to pick up the phone to ask permission---.
I am surprised that there is no such system in pak military---.
When the indian govt made open threats---pak military should have been on Defcon 4---when Pak prime minister stated that we will retaliate---and the indians were ready to attack---we should have been at Defcon 5 status---.
Why do you need a defcon 3-4-5---because the enemy can also sabotage your communication system.
The pakistani commander in chief is living with the 50---60's mentality of war---that hostilities start and a phone call will come---then the generals will get together and decide what to do---.
In modern combat---that should already have been decided---a GENERAL rank officer made to be present on watch 24/7 with orders to proceed without going thru the chain of command once a hostile action started---.
Because---in modern combat---the time has been compressed and only gives a miniscule amount to react successfully---.
See---here---by the time the the General commanding was informed---the bird had already flown the coop---by the time the prime minister was notified---the bird had already landed at its base---.
What really surpirses me about Pakistani kids that they have no ability to think about how the moedrn combat and weapons have changed---.
People are still asking what is better the F16 or the JF17 in a dog fight---or the JF17 engine has lower thrust and not understanding that the RD93 has a very squick spool up time---meaning that when you push the throttle forward---the power is instantaneous---and EW packages have out grown the 9 G combat and that the BVR will dominate---.
When pakistani kids cannot understand these simple basic changes in combat and modern warfare---how can they understand war tactics and destroying the enemy in the very first contact mindset---.
