And then what… Hashtag bring back abhinandan?

Better let the Army handle it.

The moment a fighter jet is shot the emotional drama will start and like the last time the whole fight will get over and celebrate the home coming of a pilot.
either shoot down 2-3 porki f16s or we will know if rafales and meteors were just bullshit. also iaf operates a ton of brahmos batteries. no need to cross borders

We should avoid any step that can cause us even half embarrassment.

IAF is the weakest force in Indian Military.

Why to take unwanted risk?

I once met a Paki retired major on a cruise. He talked of Longewala. Said how the pakis had war gamed for many many hours at batallion level, on how to cross the sandy thar desert with their tanks and came to conclusion that weight reduction was needed PLUS extra barrel of fuel.
So the solution was 'dismont themachine gun and leave the gunner behind'. They wargamed the scenarios of this, which is why they made combined infantry-tank attack, so the infantry nearby can cover for lack of machine gun turrets on tanks.

What they didnt game or couldnt game because it didnt occur to them - is what happens when fuel tank strapped to tank is set ablaze - the acrid smoke of burning diesel chokes the lungs and eyes of the infantry nearby, forcing them to pull back and now, there is no machine gun turret, meaning we can open hatch, drop a grenade, close hatch and kill a tank like david slays goliath.

Says the paki commander who was courtmarshalled for longewalla werent actually courtmarshalled for the battle itself, but failing to account for this reality in war gaming mode.

Tells you all you need to know about how reliable war-gaming is in real combat.
Then why didn't he war gamed the fuel tank set ablaze?

The best of military strategies e.g. British tackle of U-boats also came of war games. Any idiot can do war game and have a strategy. What would work would depend on the competencies. The example you quoted speaks volumes about competency of that general rather than that war games are unreliable.
