CI/CT Operations

None of the wars that India fought since independence lasted long enough to result in high casualties.

Besides having large casualties is not a symbol of bravado, but rather a lack of requisite skills, professionalism and technology. The US lost only about 2400 soldiers in the nearly two decades of Afghan war and only 4500 soldiers in Iraq invasion and post-invasion insurgencies. Contrast that with the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan, the Russians lost anywhere between 150,000 to 700,000 soldiers in just two years alone.
The Russians lost only around 15000 soldiers in Afghanistan.. Where did you pull the 150k dead Soviet soldiers number from ?
It's not about skills or bravado.. Even if we want to, India was never and still is not capable of meeting the challenge of modern attrition war..
We are simply not capable of fighting a high intensity industrial modern war like Russia is fighting against a NATO backed Ukraine..
 
A thought and I am sure our planners are on top of these things

Unlike 90 when Kashmir was a trouble zone ,majority of trts was Afghanistan based battle hardened veterans and ISI and Taliban were in same page regarding India
Not much has changed but there is slight chink in AfPak bonhomie and some elements of Taliban are anti Pak.
Given this situation it would be wise in our part to tap in this situation. It's a win win for both parties (except Pakistan of course)
Routes are there , only direction of traffic needs to be reversed ..
