Cold Start is failed doctrine unless of course the attacker is huge like NATO and defender is someone like Iraq.Cold War is highly based on assumptions and wars are not based on assumptions.General Ayub Khan started 1965 war based on assumptions that Indians won't cross international border so long as we keep it in Kashmir only but he was wrong now Indians are repeating the same mistake.Pakistan will not surrender as Indians think it will.All our main cantts are just across the border so mobilizing for us is no big deal and lastly guys just because Army/AF is silent does not mean it is not working.They're already working on it.The AWACS will alert Pakistan immediately of any massive movements across the border.Besides this is based on the fact that India will attack after terrorist attack so if thats the point then what if Pakistan Army mobilize during the terrorist attack in India?I think AWACS Have been our biggest asset in terms of countering Cold Start as they will inform us immediately of any movement across the border which will alert all our forces and the element of surprise would be gone
u r talking on the basis of some wrong information,the cold war doctrine was just a suggested theory,it does not mean that Indian defense ministry accepted it with open arms,because of difference in strategies of both the militaries,while i can say this strategy may b a possibility against China and they have also a similar kind of policy against India only because of a single fact....both of them have a no strike first policy
Indian military is undergoing rapid modernization,growing much more network centric,is investing heavily on spy satellites,and now started to create rapid strike forces,all this purchases of globemasters and hercules r only part of package
a short and swift war with Pakistan in which majority of its military establishment destroyed is a possibility given the huge superiority Indian military enjoy over Pakistan in terms of both assets and work force but the doctrine become a failure is were no war is short and swift for Pakistan,as sounded earlier by both Pakistani military and its political establishment that it will go for the first strike if it feels Pakistani independence is at stake,and India does not have a responce against it other than going for mutually assured destruction which is not a case falling under cold start
