Does Pakistan have any war time planning ?

[omega supremme]

As India always threaten Pakistan with wars , its important to have war time planning.

First of all its very bad decision to spend 99% of Pakistan’s budget on Lahore, instead Pakistan should develop cities on distance from Indian border & sea. Right now all universities, hospitals, business and industry of whole Pakistan is located in Karachi or Lahore, very easy targets for India.

In my opinion Pakistan should develop planned cities in Baluchistan, KP and areas of Punjab and Sindh , which are far away from Indian border. All new cities must be built with bomb shelters for the population.By the way it must be prohibited to build houses and industry on fertile soil of Punjab, Sindh, KP, and Azad Kashmir.

Does Pakistan have any plan to keep telecommunication & Internet operational during war as many other countries have planned ?

Does Pakistan have any plan to stock grain, rice and other food items for war time or when natural disasters occur ?

In my oppinion Pakistan should lay lay clean water pipelines all over Pakistan so our population have enough clean drinking water in all circumstances.

It would be wise to lay oil & gas pipeline from Iran to Pakistan , in war time Indian navy will block Karachi sea port as in past. Then it will become difficult for Pakistan. Also from Pakistans strategic interest it’s important to develop Iran-Pakistan border area and Sino-Pakistan border.

Pakistan should have plans to provide electricity also during war time, in this regard its important to lay transmission lines from Iran & China underground.

Any plans to strengthen Pak army presence in Azad Kashmir, increase number of soldiers.

Any plans to introduce compulsory service in the armed forces of Pakistan or civil service in Pakistan, with regard to the threat from India ? In many countries world over its compulsory to serve in the armed forces, as in Israel, where every man and woman must serve 3 years in the army.

I am sure Pakistan could also do a lot of other preparations to meet the threat from India. Please reply.

Combat doctrine
The Pakistan Army has developed a doctrine called the Riposte which is a limited "offensive-defence" doctrine. It has refined it consistently starting in 1989 during the Exercise Zarb–e–Momin. This doctrine is fully focused towards Pakistan's primary adversary, India.

The doctrine is derived from several factors:

1. The vulnerability of Pakistan is that so many of its major population centers and politically and military sensitive targets lie very close to the border with India. As such Pakistan can ill-afford to lose large territories to an Indian attack.
2. 'Strategic depth' in the form of a friendly Afghanistan is deemed vital by military planners.
3. India has substantially enhanced its offensive capabilities, with the Cold Start Doctrine. Any counterattack would be very tricky against the large number of Indian troops involved. The response of the Pakistani army includes the development of the Nasr missile.
4. Holding formations in both Pakistan and India can man their forward defensive positions and fortifications in less than 24 hours. However, Corps level reserves with large stockpiles of munitions will take between 24 and 72 hours for mobilization after being given their orders. In this regard, both armies will be evenly matched in the first 24 hours since the Pakistani units have to travel a shorter distance to their forward positions.

This doctrine entails Pakistan in the event of hostilities with India will not wait for the enemy's offensive, but rather launch an offensive of its own. The offensive will be a limited advance along narrow fronts with the aim of occupying territory near the border to a depth of 40–50 km. Since Indian forces will not reach their maximum strength near the border for another 48–72 hours, Pakistan might have parity or numerical superiority against the Indians.
The Pakistan hopes to accomplish three things under this strategy:

1. The enemy is kept off-balance as it will be tied up containing the Pakistani offensive into its territory rather than launching an offensive into Pakistani territory.
2. The Pakistani Army hopes to contain the fighting on the Indian side of the border so that any collateral or other damage will be suffered by India.
3. Indian territory of strategic importance once seized, will give the Pakistani Army a bargaining chip to be used in the aftermath of a ceasefire brought about by international pressure after 3–4 weeks of fighting.

Yes you are right, now Pakistan have to take in account that India’s new friends take part in all type of war time planning, and provide India equipment and training accordingly. By the way India also have agreements with some countries which will in all cases support India, which we also saw during Kargil war.

Once again we see that media in the same countries which supported India during Kargil war is quite over the genocide in Kashmir nowadays. These countries will be loyal to India in future also due to the religion of Pakistanis. It dosent matter which ever proof you provide in UN or in other institutions, they will support India due to hatered for Islam in west.

There is no permanent friend or enemy in geo-politics but it is all about benefits. We know how the enemy prepares and who are the supporters as well. Our preparation is all based upon what we have and how to do. Rest about the support by any friendly country(s), everyone knows but cannot speak of otherwise, Pakistan would have been off the map long ago. Unity is the key for success.

Instead of that Pakistan should develop the strategy of Blitzkrieg http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/blitzkrieg or bring the brute force in numbers of India eliminated via this strategy Pakistan should keep pushing India into their own territory rather than holding in one place which we saw in 1965,Push into India bring the fight to them Much like how the Germans were successful in world war 2 with their demise came in their own miscalculated mistakes in very frail structure of war Resources and Winter weather which we know and beside a numerically superior and decently advanced enemy in Russia,German's managed to break the Soviet union completely as Adolf hitler himself put it.
All you have to do is kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will crumble to the ground.
I highly back this strategy or combat doctrine as a superior enemy is likely to be an overwhelming one if you keep on taking your defensive positions,likely to be pushed back or completely annihilated since the Indian army is not one of 1965.
For this to be ,A whole armored doctrine and airforce doctrine combined with Infantry will have to be Introduced with likely new machines of war,Can't take a tank like al-khalid and hope that it is going to provide a firewall,you will need a tank that can take alot of punches and still survive,I doubt al-khalid is for that role since it is 45 something kg's in Light tank,It is supposed to take enemy tanks head on,A heavy tank like al-hyder is much needed.

This Blitzkrieg strategy should've been adopted in Kargil war 1999 to take kashmir,Instead of being focused on those Mountains and a limited attack ..A large scale full on invasion of Kashmir was the strategy to go where Musharraf and others failed miserably of course I'm not trying to say what they did was wrong that should've been done but a large scale attack of kashmir was the way to go.
I believe that beside India with its "Everything" doesn't match the quality of Pakistan army and air-force much like how the Germans stood in world war 2.
If we stand in one position and develop a defensive strategy most likely to be pushed back off guard into Pakistan or completely check out Pakistan air force with superior air defenses.

@BondedByBlood

For something like Blitzkrieg we need quality with good quantity against India and we need huge wealth to make it a reality

 

[Bouncer]

As India always threaten Pakistan with wars , its important to have war time planning.

Pakistan and India both made the ultimate war plans in 1998; i.e. to never go for a full fledged war again. So relax there is never going to be any war between us Insha Allah

 

[salarsikander]

Without Nuclear option It will Be Chaos for Pakistan

That is the reason why Nuke were made !!

True,Our economy is the worst one going around.It showed some improvements though.
But Think Again we have to do what I Just said,Or else we will be annihilated if we stay in one spot defending,India can easily checkmate our Airforce in a defense war and our navy is a reflection of our economy which is not the best one around.
We will Just have to keep on moving in and Neutralizing any serious Indian Deployment,Don't let your enemy raise their heads.
Current standing that's just it,We cannot fight a defensive war with India in 2016.
As they say Offense is the best defense

Pakistan had nukes since 1980s and they were already pre-tested

pro-conspiracy huh ?

Yes they are are Like CRPF with less numbers
Sorry they are Similar to SSB in Size and operations

So they are not really soldiers as you are thinking

 

[John Reese]

So they are not really soldiers as you are thinking

They Paramilitary Force The task of the Frontier Corps is to help local law enforcement in the maintenance of law and order, and to carry out border patrol and anti-smuggling operation Much what Rangers do in Karachi

They Not Usually trained For war exercises Like with armoured Divisions and Battle Strategies Unless Main army Infantry Unable to perform its duties
