Indian Army has a new doctrine.

[War Thunder]

You are correct Sir but this would apply where both sides are roughly at par in men & material resources. These days possession of technology matters the most and the country with superior technology will prevail.

In India/Pakistan scenario, even without any new sophisticated army doctrine, India with overwhelming superiority, especially in the air & naval assets, is likely to prevail in any war of attrition.

In my humble opinion; Indian military philosophy revolves around the strategy of capturing a significant chunk of Pak territory quickly before the nuclear threshold is reached and then negotiate the peace from a position of strength.

This is to nullify Nasr.
In all honesty stacking up Cc against a nuclear armed nation is a fools mistake.
PA Offensive defence reposte strategy is to avoid these scenarios weapons of concentrated firepower and integrated CBG’s.
As for IBG’s Pakistan army was doing the same since 2016(Adding strength to numbers).

As a Pakistan Army Spokesperson said some weeks ago, ISR is key. Pakistan can wire the entire border with sensors (unattended ground sensors; popup drones in pods, etc.) to get targeting data, and use NLOS munitions to rain down smart munitions like the sensor fuzed weapon skeets on the enemy.

we can also build thousands of fast light anti-tank drones to protect the border. have them burrow underground and popup when the sensor grid triggers them.

The idea is not ful proof; it still needs to be worked; but we should study the failures of the Russian drones in Syria

IA is refining the CSD; this time the term CSD is missing. Its like CSD v1.1 in the form of a new doctrine.

The previous one wasn't CSD, it was simply called "proactive strategy".

CSD is happening now with the new reforms.

Also, even though the IBG will be smaller than a Division but it will be commanded by an officer (Major Gen, 2-Star) who is supposed to command a Division. Now, this relates to an educated guess that the formations under command of an IBG can swell up to a Division strength at some point, and for this task a Brigadier might not be suitable.

Logically, if 10 IBGs are raised and 5 are used to attack, then the remaining 5 will become the reserve. So yes, an IBG can easily become division sized.

One IBG can even be reinforced by more IBGs if necessary. Of course, one of the Strike Corps can also take advantage of any successful IBG.

Based on your plan, if the 10 IBGs manage to distract 10-15 PA divisions, then the Strike Corps are gonna have a significantly easier time.

Another point is mentioning gunships in IBG's, so far India has used Mi-24 and converted Mi-17's into gunships, but now with the induction of AH-64's, the scenario will look very different and has chances to tilt in India's favour. To protect the IBG's and gunship's IA will call in IAF support and the integration between three services has been mentioned which means PAF will be on the defensive also. All this happening, when the main attack has not even started.

IA plans to operate 60 Rudras, 114 LCH and 39 Apache at the minimum through the AAC making it unnecessary for the IA to ask the IAF to reinforce them with their gunships. So you can expect the IBGs to be integrated with the AAC's gunships right from the start.

IA is the main customer of both Rudra and LCH, not the IAF.

Such an offensive will have higher success rate because majority of IA armor, mechanised infantry and other forces would be used in the IBG attack, and the forces left behind in that sector would mostly be infantry formations, probably in defensive posture.

IBGs will be raised from the Pivot Corps. The Strike Corps will remain untouched. So the IBGs will not have the majority of armour and mechanised infantry. In fact, you can expect the IBGs to have at best 1 regiment of tanks each, so it's not a lot when you consider 10 regiments out of a total of 62 tank regiments.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Counter plan : UCAV + MRLS + More Mechanized infantry + Attack Helicopters +Air Support + more modern Tanks

 

[Signalian]

Easier said then done,at the end of day Air Force would decide who would win.

Im all for expanding and modernizing the Air Force, but every force has its limitations. PAF can help PA capture locations and positions but cannot capture it on its own. PAF can help clear the skies, but cannot clear the ground and buildings. It has to go hand and hand. PA is larger in strength and has more formations, it wouldn't hurt to raise more squadrons for PAF also, which is possible by inducting more JF-17's. The role of SSW has to be expanded.

 

[sathya]

i was happy that people didn't take this seriously, until signalian posted stuff...

many changes will be introduced , tried and changed over ..

mainly i feel its to negate the NASR advantage.

There is not going be a concentrated target. its will be distributed .

Most likely forcing Pak also to make / spend on countering the changes ..

you can relax for the time being ... we are very slow to make any changes .
