sir, i dont think a nuclear first strike is ever defensive in nature even if u use it for stopping indian advance what about the radiation,and if indian force advance that means they r present on pakistani soil,so does it means that u will use a nuclear warhead on your own territory to stop indian advance,sounds disgusting
and it is sure indians will retaliate by firing their nukes after u trigger urs,so is ur leadership that naive to use a nuclear warhead on ur own soil and expect a bunch of indian nukes towards them,i dont think so
and what abt the language of pakistani leadership,when the kargil incursion had the chance of turning into a full war scenario,ur leadership was threatning of nuclear assault even if indian soldiers cross the boundry or in case of an oil blockade,so if an oil blockade happened then were was ur leadership expecting to fire the nukes into the arabian sea or to indian cities
Yeah to you guys it will seem disgusting, but to stop the Indian advance coming in to make Pakistan in half is much more disgusting. better annihilate the Indian advance even if on Pakistani soil then to see Pakistan cut in half.
And i had said, we have a Defensive Offensive Nuclear strike policy, meaning to defend our sovereignty, go on the offensive. Its not like without any cause or real reason, we start firing nukes on India just like wild wild west cowboys enter shooting their guns all around the place. If it comes to extreme times, nuke policy becomes offensive.
I had asked this to another Indian member before, let me ask you again,
LETS SUPPOSE Hypothetically Pakistan becomes strong enough or by chance the Indian lines break up and PA gets on the rumbling spree inside India and moves towards any major Indian city or is in a position to cut a large part of India, and Indians have no way to counter the blitzkrieg, what are the Indians gonna do ?? Keep the nukes in their bunkers and let Pakistan have a field day and cut some part of India, or are they gonna use their nukes to annihilate the advancing PA forces ?? I hope you get the answer. Don;t come up with some gibberish scenario of never happening such a thing, as i said just think it hypothetically.
Our nukes are not for Indian cities or causing unimaginable human loss to them, they are for defensive nature, and they are made for one thing, that is we can't match India conventionally and with the Indian modernization plans for next decade, we can;t counter them, but all we can do is try to hold on to any Indian aggression and not let them take Pakistan or break it apart, and for that tactical nukes are the best option.
Yeah, if India strikes back with something on our cities, then we will reply back. We will use the nuke on the battlefield, if India wishes to reply, use it on the battlefield, not on the cities, as then India will be the one responsible for starting the cities nuking stage.
This tactical nuke policy is there by every nuke holding nation. Countries even made tactical nukes which could fit even into a 155mm artillery round, for one reason, incase enemy breaks the line and starts invading, to stop them. The policy was there by US to stop the Reds Armor advance in Europe or anywhere else as they Soviets had sheer number of armor and troops compared to the western forces.
And as for statements by politicians about nuking each other, hope you have read the ones given by your politicians and the recent one given by your COAS about a limited war under a nuclear umbrella or something like that.
So let the politicians brag about their nukes, the real men who are gonna use and the events leading to them being used are something else, and we should all hope, no such event comes up.
