Pakistan vs India : A quantitative comparision

[genmirajborgza786]

the difference between indo-pak land forces is not that big

though there is a gap in the air-force but that can be somewhat neutralized with the addition of fighter jets & SAM's ,manpads etc purely from a defensive or (air denial) perspective

the real challenge is the "Indian navy" from all angle they are going to be a Blue water navy & the minimum required capability needed to deal with it is nothing less then a
Green water navy

Network Centric Warfare (NCW) in Pakistan

NCW has emerged as defining concept of information age warfare by networking sensors,Decision makers and shooters to maximize combat effectiveness.A network centric force enjoys timely availability of reliable,credible information shared situation awareness,collaboration and self synchronization which leads to dramatic increase in command and combat efficiency.
Network centric operations provide a force with access to a new (previously unreachable) region of information domain and at the same time synergize the effects of information already available with various agencies and sensors.
Pakistan army is process of validating its new NCW based war fighting concept in ongoing Exercise Azm-e-Nau III. During Phase I of the exercise held in the Cholistan Desert,this concept was successfully implemented at tri service level.During this Phase output of all type of sensors was successfully integrated and was shared between all stake holders.Resultantly operational efficiency and response time improved tremendously.This is start of a new beginning.It is aimed to incorporate modern day scientific warfare gadgetry and techniques in war fighting mechanism.This new step is surely expected to keep us at par with modern contemporary armies.Pakistan army is significantly improving its combat efficiency by integrating information operations with combat echelons in a NCW environment thus ensuring cohesive employment of all components of Battle field.

Now someone's talking! I was ignoring to jump in as there's a lot of trolling going on.

On topic: I've always thought about this and it's a reality. In an event of war, Pakistan can deploy its whole Army (not literally) to the Indian front, but India can't do the same, it needs a some troops to be stationed at Chinese border. That threat is simply unavoidable.

And the 600,000 figure for Pakistan's standing Army is a peace-time one. There are reserves and Pakistan has a very good capability of recruiting thousands of soldiers on a short notice in case of an emergency. So, I'm very hopeful about this. God forbids, if this day comes, I don't know who would lose but I'm sure there wont by any winner too. Pakistan can defend against any Indian aggression very well.

Our Navy just need to cope up with the challenge, and they are, already.

Pakistan is a nation that can weaponize atleast 30 million people in case of a war, if need be!

So 30 million fighters + 1 million strong! military + 550,000 Paramilitary----> against a full-fledged indian invasion.

not even a chance!!!!!! indian generals know this...PDF indians can have mental-masturbation as much as they want..but indians can't do jack against Pakistan militarily.

Regarding Navy, Well Pakistan has just 1000km coastline...and to purely "defend" that, Pak Navy has more than enough firepower...

Wait till Pakistan Navy gets Babur Cruise Missiles, a squadron of JF-17 Thunders-N equipped with CM-400 AKG, C-802As etc...and any indian threat from the sea would be toasted easily since Pak Navy will just stand and "defend"...

indians don't even have balls to even 'think' to attack Pakistan militarily.... All the hush hush is just for the consumption of backward, gullible indian public....

THE ONLY country that can think of military operations inside Pakistan is the U.S military. Not even Russia, Germany, France, GB etc would even think of any military war with Pakistan. They just can't. Pakistan is toooooooooo powerful.

U.S military will also engage Pakistan ONLY if it is in their ULTRA-SUPREME INTEREST. Otherwise, they won't even come near to Pakistan.

In other words Indian forces will be a target practice for Pak Navy

OP missed out Southern Command.

XII Corps - 2 Infantry divisions, 1 Armoured brigade and 1 mechanised brigade.
XXI Corps - 2 infantry divisions, 1 armoured division, 1 artillery brigade and 1 air defence brigade.

 

[surya kiran]

Pakistan is a nation that can weaponize atleast 8 million people in case of a war, if need be!

So 8 million fighters + 1 million strong! military + 550,000 Paramilitary----> against a full-fledged indian invasion.

Currently, lets not compare the PN to the IN. Please. The PN is at best, today, a largish coast guard with submarine capabilities. The OP is talking about the PA quanititatively and he missed a complete command of the IA.

How many frigates does your 'coast-guard' operate? lols...

Pakistan Navy is a complete navy just like Israeli navy etc. Size of navy depends upon the coastline it has to defend.

Zulfiqar class - 2500 ton
ICGS Samar class - 2300 ton

And we don't call it a 'frigate'. Its called an Advansed Offshore Patrol Vehicle. And its not even operated by the IN, but, the Indian coast guard. Even in numbers, PN is supposed to have 4 of these, while the ICGS will have 5 of the Samar class. Not to mention the GSL class which is 2400 tons.

Seriously man. Don't even please try comparing your surface combatants.

no it does not the PN has been neglected by the planners to the point of treason thats the hard fact

Wait till Pakistan Navy gets Babur Cruise Missiles, a squadron of JF-17 Thunders-N equipped with CM-400 AKG, C-802As etc...and any indian threat from the sea would be toasted easily since Pak Navy will just stand and "defend"...

& what about supply lines what plans do we have for that ever thought of that ? with the present naval assets we can either defend our coastline or try & keep our supply lines safe we cannot do both

immature post
lets not jingoism blind ones analysis the fact remains India's strongest point is its navy while our weakest point is our navy

Indians are neglecting the new Air craft carrier of Chinese navy which will also play a vital in a war time scenario. If India attacks it never know what response it will get.
Better stay in your limits or face the music.

please get this clear china will "NOT" intervene in an Indo-Pak war period.

Aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy...where does that come into play in the Pak India scenario? Are you suggesting that China will loan its aircraft carrier to Pakistan during conflict time?

 

[Edevelop]

1971 is a whole different ball game

Pakistan Army was surrounded on all 4 corners

To fight would mean suicide

But in Kashmir, India can never win

Yes. India can't play proxies now. It is a different ball game. The only way to face Pakistan is by going to the border.

You should respond in a few other threads, where we are supposedly involved in Balochistan and are funding TTP and what not.
