WJ, it was not the result that India feared. it was the loses on our side forget the total destruction on the other.ers:
I want to establish one important fact here which keeps rearing its head in every indo-pak discussion. Once again it shows up in the text above. There is this implied position on the Indian side that while Pakistan will completely be destroyed in a nuclear confrontation, Indian losses will merely be 'large', but there will still be something to salvage. Let me just set the record straight. After an indo pak nuclear confrontation there will be no india and no Pakistan. Any survivors on either side will rue not being among those who died quickly.
Pakistan has close to or around 100 nukes and delivery capabilities that cover all of India. MIRV work is being done now and new reactors have come online which will only accelerate the rate at which the nuclear stockpile is developed. The more India invests in abm or other capabilities - or even talks about them - the more Pakistan will enhance its offensive nuclear ability. This is a zero sum situation.
So a full on war scenario for India and Pakistan equals complete and utter destruction. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking that either side will be better off.
