Ask us any question about the Indian Cold Start Doctrine in comments, our analysts @aeronaut @oscarbhopali & @Mahmood_PDF will answer you.
Q 1: How Nasr actually works?? Does it work like a nuke? What’s its blast radius?
A: Nasr has a 4x cell Single stage solid rocket boosting missile carrying a nuclear weapon the size of an apple. It can destroy armored division.
Q 2: Can Pak counter Cold Start without going non-conventional i.e. NASR
A: In short we can if we get the Intelligence required to reach our battle stations before Indians do.
Q 3: To counter Cold Start we will use Tactical Nukes on our soil. How do we contain the radioactive effects from spilling into adjoining areas?
A: Using tactical-nuke is not guaranteed, but a last resort, its yield is minimal & known to deplete quickly. Precision is the key for Nasr.
Q 4: Nasr is developed some time ago. Wasn't cold start doctrine present before Nasr? It means we can deal without Nasr
A: Military has prepared a 3 tier strategy covering Conventional, Sub Conventional & Asymmetric dimensions. India won't be laughing.
Q 5: what do we do after the using tactical nukes? What happens after that? More tactical nukes? When there is a second wave?
A: The second wave might lead to a full scale nuclear exchange. Nasr is designed to prevent just that.
Q 6: Is cold start doctrine effective anymore?
A: Indian Cold Start Doctrine is certainly a threat; to ignore it is stupidity we can't afford.
Q 7: What is our strategy to tackle and give a befitting reply to them?
A: By capturing a big chunk of Indian Territory for post conflict negotiations.
Q 8: Does india have second strike capability?
A: Yes they do but we do too.
Q 9: How much time spend on making Aircraft Carrier. Why does not Pakistan have?
A: We don't need aircraft carriers, but we do need a handful of advanced Anti Air Warfare Frigates > 4000 tons class. It’s about requirements, India needs carriers because it has 6000km of coastline, and we have 900.
Q 10: How big area we talking about here? What if their division is spread out a large area? How much destruction does one missile cause?
A: Pakistan is known to use cutting edge fission boosting technology to increase the yield of small warheads. Exact blast radius is classified.
Q 11: Do Pakistan possess ICBMs
A: Pakistan has the capability to build an ICBM if required; the priority though isn't Missile range but MIRVs, Countermeasures & Survivability
Q 12: What will be Pakistan initial response when India executes its cold start doctrine? Only tactical nukes?
A: Initial response would be to mount a Cold Start like attack on India, if they catch the drift, they'll not let things go nuclear.
Q 13: Does India has any alternate of Nasr?
A: India has Pragati & Parhaar Missile Systems which are somewhat similar to Nasr.
Q 14: Indian air force looks in a good shape in terms of advanced Russian jets? Can they detect Nasr? Is Nasr the only solution?
A: Indian Air Force enjoys clear numerical edge over PAF; but it can't dedicate its assets to Pakistan in numbers detrimental to us.
Q 15: I want to know about their strategy and agenda
A: Well, India will have to give up whatever territory it does capture from Pakistan during post conflict negotiations; agenda is to punish us.
Q 16: If Indian navy comes to blockade Karachi or sea route trade etc. like 1971 then how PN will counter it
A: Blockading Karachi is no longer possible for the Indian Navy; Pakistan can sink them in the Indian Ocean now.
Q 17: Imagine we are fighting a full scale war against the US, can we take down their satellites? Do we possess any such weapon?
A: Pakistan can't shoot down satellites yet, however the technology to do so is available to us.
Q 18: How much nukes should India use to wipe Pakistan?
A: Due to geographic proximity if India nuked Pakistan with a 100 warheads, more than half of Indian population will also die of radiation. Regardless of who bombs who, a nuclear exchange will annihilate Subcontinent to the benefit of Cockroaches & Scorpions.
Q 19: Due to proximity to the border plus no natural obstacle it is tempting for India. Can we not do tit for tat from Fort Abbas to Gharsana+adj?
A: Even if just the South Asian wheat belt is contaminated with radioactivity; almost everyone in the Subcontinent will starve to death.
Q 20: Why do anyone need hundreds?? When one nuke On Islamabad and One on Gwadar Will demolish the Pakistan to its Core
A: Because those two nukes will invite 2 waves of Pakistani nukes, destroying India from Delhi to Nicobar.
Q 21: india have BMD to stop Pakistan’s Missiles. How will Pakistan stop our Missiles if india go for a pre-emptive strike??
A: I study BMDs, Indian BMD is far from operational and it does not work against trajectory adjustable missiles.
Q 22: India have MRBM/IRBM whose height is 150km and These BMD can do the job (400km)
A: You can't use S-400s if we can bomb them 1st, the farther you take them into India, the less range they produce.
Q 23: What is the most vulnerable area for Cold Start invasion?
A: Rahim Yar Khan.
Q 24: I highly doubt we will have Submarine based Nukes as it will have to be placed in submarine without dismantled control process.
A: Babur is an SLCM with a nuclear warhead. It does not require to be dismantled or anything.
Q 25: A report said India faces an ammunition stock shortfall for a 10 day long war. Do we have such shortfalls as well?
A: Disinformation, they want us to believe that they don't have enough ammunition.
Q26: Do you think India takes Pakistan seriously, since it is seen aggressing on China and when Chinese can't push india back how with Pakistan?
A: India is obsessed about finishing the threats to its borders and becoming a superpower: Bangladesh was its first chess move
Q 27: Will Pak use tactical nuclear warheads in its own side in event of CS? What about considerations for its population? With LR PGMs will India resort to CS?
A: It may likely come down to that, the other choice might be to use nukes on Indian command centers right behind the border.
Q 28: Pak have to hit India in center so don't u think Nasr is a short range Or battlefield range missile?
A: We have a comprehensive arsenal that allows us to hit any point within India MULTIPLE times if needed.
Q 29: why do we lack in satellite mission? Our neighbor goes to town about it.
A: We currently have a rudimentary satellite communication setup but so far we have to rely on the second piece of your puzzle for imagery
Q 30: Is India fully prepared on cold start? And is it going to use it soon by attacking us?
A: Their plans are still under preparation as they are busy replacing their obsolete equipment- when that is complete and our nukes neutralized
Q 31: I’ve read they have deployed 80-90% of their army on indo Pak border and we have only 200k men to face them
A: You have read wrong. Their 80% of their forces does face Pakistan but only 30% are deployed to forward positions at a time. It takes less time for us to deploy to our strength than it takes for them to react: Cold start is done exactly because of this problem
Q 32: what could be the time frame for completion of their preparation?
A: 2025 given their current procurement & training pace. Then they have to get rid of our nuclear weapons by complaining to USA
Q 33: But aren’t they making emergency purchases throughout the world?
A: Even with them it will take that long for them to be proficient in those systems to really matter in time As long as we have nuclear weapons
Q 34: I actually read a prophecy twice that they’ll attack from headmarala / jalalpurjattan, the water there is being stopped by India
A: Don't believe in prophecies. They are currently attacking using brainless Afghans and some 150 Baloch (out of millions of millions)-war is on
