You said and i qoute "counter strategy/surprise works when u have an equally balanced force", i find this statement in contradicion to the historical and modern rules of war.
When u have fewer numbers or a weaker force than those evasive strategies and surprise/ambush tactics work best i.e intentional loss of territory to stretch out the enemy and than getting off and dividing thier forces by capturing supply routes etc(this is just one example of evasive tactics.... surpirse element is vital to the survival of a weaker force, u always have to keep the enemy guessing about ur true capabilities and give them a shock when they least expect it. Alexander did this is in guagamela against superior numbers as did khalid bin waleed(ra) in yarmouk and armenius in at teuroberg forest.
When both sides have equally balanced forces than both sides usually go for point(the pivot from where to dominate and crush the enemy), the human instinct is just too strong for a general to resist it, but when numbers are few and tide against you that is when surprise comes into play and it has played pretty well, the ink of history testament to this fact.
The best strategy with india is to keep them guessing. Your strategim rests upon deterence and the assumption that war will not happen. My strategim is for war and its inevitibility, a soldier cant think the way a politician does(he cant afford) hence secrecy and minimum display of strength is and must be the pakistani plan of action cause that will score massive points for us on the actual battlefield.
U think we need to deter india and that is where u are wrong, lets just say india doesnt have the stomach to go to war with us until that mysterious green signal is given from some mysterious places on earth.
3 times we have seen this green beacon go up from somewhere deep in the east....
