One general of Pakistan Air Force suggested. Let the navy fight its own war.
Pakistan Army will tear all the defences of Indian Army and will take the fight inside the Indian territory with the support of the air force.
Still not over the criticising thingie webby.
Those are the Kind of Generals, who has made it imperitative to have a Tri-services commander.
Indian Tactic is evident, Till now it was all about Blockade. From Now it is Sea Shore is a third front. The thread on the New Indian Naval Doctrine is already available in this forum.
Pakistan Navy outgunned and outclassed, You have 3 subs that is worth any salt in sea battle in the current secne.
If you want to go by the No airforce particiaption like the genreal said. Pakistan has no aircover, and IN has no Jaguar IM's but still has its SHAR's.
MKI's squadron dedication, is something I have heard, and it has only rumour mill value, You can discard it in our little secanrio.
