Look here mate, i think u got influenced by that troll called indus pakistan. U seem to have limited info about warfare it seems. The window for a restricted conflict with India is a reality, a big one. I really vant understand people who think nukes have made us indestructable, that works against foes that dont have nuclear power themselves. Nukes are a thing of a last resort. We wont use them unless the very existance of Pakistan as a state was underthreat i.e we are about to loose the war against an invader and in such a scenario where we use nukes, we will get nuked in turn hence ensuring mutual assured destruction on both sides. Any future conflict with India will be a conventional one, both sides will try thier best to keep it as such due to reasons explained above. They can capture large swathes of our country n then force us to the negotiating table to meet thier demands in return like giving up on Kashmir. We need to beef up our conventional capabilities not cut them down. Defence expenditure is not the reason for the state of our economy. Extremely low tax collection, outdated agriculture, no focus or investment in industry or cheaper sources of power and most importantly waste of funds on low return projects, corruption and economic treason are the reasons for our condition. Our defencr budget needs to be around 20 bil usd to keep up with the security needs of our country. Forget nukes mate, they are a measure of a last resort, they dont ensure our security, they only ensure that the other side will be wiped off earth with us. There is no scenario where Pakistan or India make it through a nuclear exchange and both sides knw this only too well.
