INDIA’S COLD START DOCTRINE

[amjad_vantage]

Much of this so called “Cold Start Strategy” is based on the Israeli strategy which it tried to implement in Lebanon. Israel was unable to implement its objectives in Lebanon and had to withdraw even from the Litani River. Israel failed to achieve its goals in Lebanon. In Lebanon, Israel was unable to stop the barrage of missiles from Lebanon even on the last day. Many consider this Israel’s defeat. Alert: Indian Army Ready For War Against China And Pakistan Simultaneously

SUMMARY OF INDIA’S COLD START DOCTRINE:

India’s Strategic Military Objectives Needs to be Made Clear: India’s strategic military objectives need to:

Shift from capturing bits of Pakistan territory in small scale multiple offensives to be used as bargaining chips after the cease fire.
Focus on the destruction of the Pakistani Army and its military machine without much collateral damage to Pakistani civilians.
All the three armed forces have to synergise operations towards destruction of the Pakistan Army as it is that which enslaves Pakistan, impedes democracy in Pakistan and indulges in military adventurism against India, including proxy wars and terrorism.
“India’s Defence Policies and Strategic Thought: A Comparative Analysis (reviewed on SAAG website as Igniting Strategic Mindsets in Indians:; SAAG paper no. 657 dated 09-04-2003)
While engaging the Kashmir question must be the priority, a much more serious problem is that in less than a decade India has twice threatened us with all-out war in less than a decade, in December 2002 and 2008, using terrorist action by non-state actors as a pretext both times. As the name suggests, the Indian “COLD START” strategy envisages moving Indian forces without any warning or mobilisation into unpredictable locations at high speeds against Pakistan (on the Israeli pattern of 1956 and 1967) seeking to defeat Pakistan by achieving total surprise at both the strategic and the operational levels (remember Pearl Harbour), striving for a decision before the US or China could intervene on Pakistan’s behalf. An unspoken assumption seems to be that “rapid operations would prevent India’s civilian leadership from halting military operations in progress, lest it have second thoughts or possess insufficient resolve”. Does this particular Indian military psyche conform to the so-called civilian.

So what is your point buddy to start a new thread as there is already a active thread in line

1."Cold Start" which Gen Kapoor is proposing to revamp is really that part of strategy which involves movements, deployment and employment of military forces. With the induction of Brahmos missiles into IAF all Services are now armed with India's cruise missiles, and thus, a new dimension has been added to this effort.

2. However, the true defense / national security doctrine of India is enshrined in The Arthasastra propagated by Chanokya / Katulya. Similarly, China's true doctrine should be found in The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

3. The Muslim nations and armed forces must look into their history and heritage and adopt as their doctrine what has been ordained in The Holy Quoran.
