The Burning South: India-Pakistan conflict in 2026 - A hypothetical scenario simulated. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TROLLING OR JINGOISM

[Krptonite]

On the Indian side, @meghdut, @Jackdaws, and subject to confirmation, @surya kiran and @MilSpec and I will play this side of the simulation.

Any other Indian members interested to pitch in, please let me know.

Can I be included as well?

I'd bring sheer ignorance to the table.

but all these keeras on maps is beyond me.

Keera move westwards = objective achieved. simple

I am SO relieved! We were running so short of sheer ignorance. C'mon on board, and welcome. I need an e-mail id that we can use. You can e-mail at the e-mail id below.

Maar do ge.

I take it you are part of the Pakistan team? Naturally. But the maps, the maps.
Perhaps you can be nominated to be one of the neutral members of the simulation administration.

That's what I suggested earlier. I have not joined either team yet.

Curious as to how will battles be decided? dice rolling?

Intel Report dated 2026.
From: RAW
To: MoD India
Subject: Developments in PA during the last four years.

1) Due to a stable democracy and Internal stability, Pakistan's economy has started to progress although slowly.

2) After Nov,2022 a new COAS was appointed. Being a professional officer, the insurgencies inside Paksitan were thoroughly dealt with. In addition due to the stable economy, Paksitan was able to fund development programs in backward regions. As a result almost all the terrorist organisations have been neutralised.

3) A new COAS took over on 2025. Due to efforts of previous COAS, now the new chief can focus on India only. In a recent speech he has declared India to be the only adversary with full focus on conventional ops biding good bye to COIN ops.

4) The new COAS is hawkish and has chosen an excellent team. The CGS and Corps commanders are all professional officers.

5) As part of the team, the new DG ISI also has an aggressive mindset, with the view of taking war into the Indian Territory

6) As a part of the new offensive strategy, ISI is trying to re-establish its contacts with Kashmiri and Sikh freedom fighters along with other such groups in the east.

7) Considering the COIN ops to be over and India's massive redeployment (according to Joe's ORBAT), PA has decided to plan massive redeployment as well. The brigades of the divs belonging to 11 Corps (Peshawar) and 12 Corps (Balochistan) have been moved further east to allow quick mobilization.

8) Owing to India's massive deployment of RAPIDs in Pathankot and Nagrota etc Paksitan has decided to dig a canal linking Chenab to Ravi, flowing north of Sialkot. This will protect Sialkot, Zafarwal, Shakar Garh from a pincer from Jammu or frim North East.

9) The delivery of some 300 SH-15 SPGs is complete. Thus Pakistan has raised some 18 new regts.

10) With additional delivery of 300 VT4s paksitan has been able to replace most of its T59/69s. These VT4s are separate from those in 6th AD.

11) HIT in the last four years has delivered 200 AK1s. These have been used to form new IABGs.

12) PAA has acquired multiple UCAVs in large numbers. New UAC bases have been built in Multan, Pano Aqil and Faisalabad.

13) The Alzarrar tanks of 6th AD replaced by VT4s have been used to raise 3 new IABGs.

14) Turkish UAV capable of firing Turkish CM has also been acquired.

15) PA has also bought an advanced Chinese version of Fatah having a range of 200-300 kms

16) Special recce-signal coys have been raised with each div. Equipped with specialized SIGNIT and ELINT eqpt they will be used for early detection of enemy forces and scouting.

17) PAA has also completed the order of 50+ Z10ME

18) The Pak Marines have been increased to a brigade plus force. Equipped adequately with AD and AT wpns.

@Signalian @PanzerKiel shouldn't we also look for redeployment of our forces and additional IABGs due to Joe's ORBAT?

Also Joe your ACVs will put PA in great discomfort because it builds most of its defences around water obstacles. The whole sim would be unfair.

Naughty of us.

 

[Krptonite]

@Joe Shearer what about naval forces? Would the simulation limit it to land based only?

The addition and presence of naval forces changes the order and objectives of land ones. Significantly so on theIndian side.

 

[PanzerKiel]

@PanzerKiel @Desert Fox 1 Should we take responsibility of one Corps HQ each ? or any of the commands from north, central and south.
@Tipu7 can you come along here too

@SQ8 Will you look after PAF Ops ?

Let me remain as an observer.... I'll correct....

In fact, @SQ8 terrified me earlier on, reminding me that the simulator handled naval and air movements very smoothly, and land operations were effectively an add-on, almost. We need GOOD talent handling naval operations, and, even more, air operations.

Let me remain as an observer.... I'll correct....

That is what I had hoped for.

 

[The Terminator]

inspite of recent conflicts in which armor has not proven decisive, i see the same old armour thrusts, etc being propagated here.
I would like to see some use of weaponised drones being incorporated in the conflict.
Pakistan would enjoy a edge with its 2 chums Turkey and China at the forefront in drone use.

Yup same question here. With extensive use of UCAVs, short range ballistic and cruise missiles, air launched SOWs, cluster and PGMs, long range rocket artillery, thermobaric and tactical nuke warheads. Then what's the point of using this old huge formations and columns of armor and infantry approach? Doesn't these new disruptive techs make this kind of strategy already obsolete? Well it's no doubt would be fun for you experienced folks to play like a game of chess. But can someone from you plz elaborate the implications of those tech in this war and to which extent those old style formation movements are actually viable in modern times? Ok exclude tactical nukes if they seems to be too much offensive and impractical to you.

Thanks for help this under average layman.

Same here

Hitler's SS ?

The simulator, I believe, will resolve a lot of this.

Our honourable prime minister SS of course
