Pak need a maritime offensive force to capture Mumbai...
PLA’s war wherewithal on the Indo-Tibet frontline must be carted over 1500 kilometers from their logistic hubs at Lhasa and Kashgarh, which in turn must be stocked from central China, a further 2000 kilometers away. The entire logistic connectivity by road, rail, pipeline and air depends upon tenuous lines of communication and static staging yards, all situated over a terrain that is completely open, devoid of local resources and subject to such extreme conditions as it must obtain at 4300 meters of average altitude and sub-zero cold almost throughout the year. Even if China has engineered her transportation capacity to 24000 tons a day and therefore stated to be able to build up 30 divisions, including formations already in place, in 30 days, and sustain this force in war indefinitely, such theoretical calculations may be valid under ‘test conditions’, in practice this will invariably not be so. No doubt, the whole system of induction and sustenance for PLA’s field forces in war would be ripe for interdiction by air power and special operations.You should watch your own media's reports abouts CHINESE infrastructure along indian border .
Excellent assessment as always yaar, a great breakdown and analysis of scenario which may well become a reality.KudosIndian CSD is comfortably countered without NASR too.
Only Armoured and mechanised formations of both countries have been mentioned which will be involved when India launches CSD. Of course infantry can play a significant role along with Air Force. The direction of attack may vary but this is to give an idea of deployment of forces of both countries along the border focusing on IA CSD forces.
Pakistani forces are Yellow and Blue.
Indian forces are Red and Orange.

While the Local forces engage, the PA 6th armoured deployed closer to border can either:
1. Encircle Indian forces from behind through narowal and decimate them.
2. By pass Indian attack at Narowal and enter India before IA 1st armoured reaches border. 8th Armoured can provide back up to PA forces engaging indian CSD armoured and mechanised forces.

The situation seems almost same near Lahore-Amritsar and Kasur axis. Below is an infantry dominated area from both sides with best defence built here.

It depends where PA will move 1st Armoured Division but even keeping it reserve, Indian CSD Armoured and mechanised forces are countered by locally deployed PA Armoured brigades.
The situation becomes a bit tense near Bahawalpur - Sri GangaNagar Axis but it is yet to be seen whether PA 1st Armoured Div will be used to counter IA 33rd Armoured Div in the desert.

At the start of Indian CSD in the desert sector, PA can defend the desert region in the south and if lucky can push Indian forces back but as the war progresses, Indian Forces will accumulate in numbers after 2-3 days of war as IA Armoured and Mechanised forces start pouring in from east and south-east.

Above is the most vulnerable sector. PA will need aviation assets like Gunships and UCAV's as well as PAF cover to defend this region. Pushing into Indian territory here is possible (slim chances) but only if initial losses are kept at minimal and enemy is thrown back. There is no PA back up ARMOURED DIVISION in this area although there are chances that PA may have another Armoured Brigade under V-Corps to work along 25th Mechanised Division.
NASR will most probably be used in this area.

An excellent analysis but what about infantry? i mean IA outnumbers us in infantry? you said 6th armoured div can encircle indian forces but they obviously gonna have massive amounts of infantry covering their flanks what if our 6th armoured gets encircled?Indian CSD is comfortably countered without NASR too.

80% of India's armour, 75% artillery is deployed on Pakistan front.
Pakistan should never go on the offensive into India. You'll lose half your forces and then your country.
Better to keep most of your forces and most of your country by being defensive.
