If you are going to look at the situation "sensibly", then you would have to take into account the fact that the Pakistani Army has a significant number of troops and resources deployed in the West (FATA, Swat and Balochistan). The largest recent military purchase undertaken by the Army is for MRAP's, equipment that is largely beneficial in COIN operations. The Army has publicly identified domestic terrorism as the biggest threat to national security, under two successive Army chiefs. The military has had to slow down many of its modernization plans because of the economic slowdown in Pakistan. Given all of the above, allegations that the Pakistani Army escalated the situation along the IB/LoC for the sake of pushing in a handful of militants before the winter sets in sounds ludicrous.Actually very silly in military terms. Nobody is sure about why there is escalation, Pakistani internal power structures are too fogged up for anyone to make that assertion as anything more than a guess. However that still remains a political excuse, your references were military. Spent some of my time yesterday arguing with a Pakistani poster who imagined that India was doing this to help Sharif. Infiltration happens, though this year has been a difficult one for the infiltrators. However the bulk of the firing is taking place across the IB (not the most preferred areas for infiltration)and is aimed at primarily Hindu villages. Moreover there have been two cases of IED's being planted in this sector which Indian sources believe had to be done by either the PA or someone they allowed (terrain, location, Pakistani positions etc - few meters into Indian territory). The most recent one was on October 4 which killed a Mahar regiment soldier & injured 5 (an earlier one on Sep 15th killed a porter & injured 2 BSF personnel). This isn't happening in a vacuum.

I am sure you would agree that both sides have largely similar weapon systems when it comes to the caliber of weaponry being used in the recent clashes. And if you also agree that both sides are professional and well trained military/paramilitary forces who know HOW to use the aforementioned weapon systems, that casualties on either side will be similar. And Indian mortar is not going to be guided by "Ram" into causing greater casualties on the Pakistani side compared to a Pakistani mortar guided by "Allah" ...Okay then what is your side of the story, wrt losses, destruction?
Thumbs up for pakistanI am in favor of this kutay-bili wala game... the reason is... Pakistan economy is already in bad shape... incase of Military aggression or increase of movement by militaries on the border.. foreign investment to economy of India will go down cuz fear of escalation... So this kuta-bili ka game in favor of Pakistan technically.. @ the end... China will again intrude into Indian's north border.... other side Pakistan India kuta bili game will turn into war.... I like this.. I like this.... best way to drain down Indian economy...
Thumbs up for pakistan
