Indian Army-IAF massive drill along western borders for deployment of special forces behind enemy lines

Plus, there's always the possibility of IAF shooting down their own planes due to sheer incompetence
The platform helps to prevent fratricide or friendly fire, i.e., it helps us to know where the friendly forces are present

bro, I don't think it works

The key thing to remember is the fact that we don't have a nuclear NFU policy, which is kind of a ballsy move from our military!

If push comes to shove, we will likely pop a couple of nukes. Sure, it'd send both countries back to the stone age but... meh, at least we will die with pride! Plus, we have like a dozen or so more nukes than India, which is something

You do realise Pakistan also has multi layered AD, and it is operational too, right?

A joint exercise was conducted along the western borders by the Indian Army’s Shatrujeet Brigade and the Western Command in synergy with the Indian Air Force to deploy paratroopers equipped with new-generation weapon systems for supporting mechanised forces deep inside enemy territory to facilitate and enhance the operational reach.
C-130J Super Hercules, C-17 Globemaster and AN-32 aircraft were used to insert troops and specialised equipment into designated areas in an obstacle-ridden terrain with clinical precision.
“The exercise was carried out in realistic tactical settings and showcased the speed, agility and lethality of the paratroopers to induct into a hostile environment, secure dropping zones, and engage the enemy with surprise, precision and speed,” a spokesperson for Western Command said on Thursday.

A high level of operational preparedness and synergy was displayed between Western Command,Strategic Forces and the Indian Air Force to undertake integrated operations and achieve mission based objectives.

The Western Command is conducting a large scale field exercise in Punjab to validate operational concepts and test its offensive capability.

As part of the drill, the Kharga Corps also carried out Heli-borne operations, practising deep insertion and survivability of troops behind enemy lines. Aircraft and helicopters were employed as lethal aerial manoeuvre arm for the destruction of enemy mechanised forces.

Employment of Special Forces, theatre special operations and capability building for ‘ghost reconnaissance’ as well as exploiting the third dimension to infiltrate and exfiltrate into enemy territory, besides fighting in built up areas and riverine terrain is part of the expansive drill.

A tri-services Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) exercise to validate information warfare and network-centric operational concepts was also carried out by the Western Command.

Combat and logistic elements from the Ambala-based Kharga Corps and Jalandhar-based Vajra Corps are participating in the exercise. Various offensive and defensive manoeuvres and support operations are being practiced.
Please kill Napak army generals, we support you.

BMDs are currently only to be deployed at Delhi and Mumbai. They probably have a sub 30% success rate (taking the upper limit of American systems), which means at least 115 Pakistani nukes will strike their target, assuming the BMD system itself isn't destroyed before/during a Pakistani nuclear assault.

Pakistan was informed of the shitty misfiring missile well in advance. Very predictable as well - Indian missiles tend to misfire and hit IAF aircraft ;)

Your point being?
The particular system is for defence against Pakistani nukes...

are you aware that indian AD would likely be under serious stress due to cruise missiles, artillery, MLRS and the like?

The chances of being able to knock every single nuke out of the sky is very low.

IAF is doing exercises from the last 20 days. All this comes at a critical time. G20 is just an excuse. They are preparing and why not! Own country is in mess.

And your point is invalid because even if we assume your system is remotely as capable as America's, over a hundred nuclear fireballs will engulf India.

To be precise, less than 30% (the capability of American BMDs). 70% of 165 = 115 nukes penetrate India. Now he'll probably retort "but India can survive and win a nuclear war.. yadayadayada"

World War II ended when two nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan. There has been no other use of nuclear weapons before or since in 5mins every thing will be turned to dust idiots here talking about air defense
