Pahalgam Islamic Terror Attack

Haste to strike Pakistan is not recommended.

Here, I am reflecting the general expert opinion regarding a retaliatory strike on Pakistan following the recent Pahalgam attack in Kashmir. I should clarify that this view differs from my personal stance, which favours an immediate response. However, most experts advise otherwise.

A retired Lieutenant General, writing in the media, argued that an immediate strike against a jihadist-leaning nation like Pakistan would be pointless; more jihadists would simply step forward to replace the ones eliminated. He suggests a more strategic approach: delay the strike and hit when it is least expected — even if it takes ten days or more. He further recommends that, with the effective suspension of the Tashkent and Shimla Agreements, India now has every right to push back the Line of Control (LOC) by 10 to 15 kilometres, capturing all the jihadi camps that house, feed, and train terrorists. If India advances within its own territory in Kashmir, even the typically pro-Pakistan Western media would find it difficult to criticize India. Simultaneously, India could enforce a blockade of Karachi port, or if Pakistan escalates further, bomb Karachi’s oil installations — a tactic successfully used in the 1971 war.

Meanwhile, a retired Brigadier holds a different view: he believes that the fight should be taken directly into Pakistan itself. According to him, this is the perfect time to call Pakistan’s nuclear bluff. India, he says, should be prepared with retaliatory nuclear strikes that would devastate Pakistani cities if necessary. Such a threat could force Pakistan into seeking peace and expose the emptiness of its nuclear posturing.

Most military experts agree that haste would be detrimental to India’s strategic goals. Instead, Pakistan must be kept on edge through massive Indian military preparations. A financially bankrupt Pakistan cannot easily replenish its supplies if Karachi port is blocked, and very limited supplies can trickle in through the Khunjerab Pass at 14,000 feet — linking Pakistan to the sparsely populated Kashgar via the CPEC road.

The idea is to keep Pakistan under pressure, and when their supplies dwindle, they might repeat the mistake of attacking Indian airfields, as they did in 1971. In response, India could unleash precision strikes using BrahMos missiles, glide bombs, and Prahaar missiles. India would not be the aggressor in this scenario — Pakistan would have initiated hostilities, and India would be simply responding with justified force.

What do you think, guys?

Worst case they can be requisitioned for the short term. However with the ATAGS order going through, it seems that the Chandigarh lobby is breathing it's last.
 
That chinese made SH-15/PCL-181 truck mounted howitzer(videos above) is the only equipment in Paki army that we should be concerned about... & they have it in numbers... approx 300. We have 0 in this category.

Shoot & scoot capability becomes more important in short wars which is about to unfold.

We allowed the deficiencies and capability gaps to increase... and hence a rabid jihadi state 1/12th in economy kills and maims our populace and is challenging us for war.
What about 350 M-109 self propelled howitzers ?
 
India has none? Dammm.. How they've managed with such a low budget?

Because some among us insist on moon trials and gold-plated imports, also, "how dare conscientious and intrepid entrepreneurs butt in? Bloody civilians".

Unfortunately, abhi toh jang hi inhe seedha karegi.


That is, we have waaaaay better systems than the chicoms can provide the pakjabis, and they are kept on the sidelines, while "experts" dilly dallied.

Numbers are ~110-160 for the SH-15/PCL-181.

If some have not gone out of the country yet . Can Armenia bros let us keep some. :playball:
Army doesn't know what to do with them. They have no precedence for these mobile wheeled light howitzers in service. They are still brainstorming SOPs regarding these new trucks.

The all is fine crowd have a lot to answer for

In the next few months ‘emergency’ procurements will flow (almost all imports), India should’ve been acting as though it was in an emergency for the last 10+ years given the shortfalls it faces
 
Honestly, speaking in a purely logical tone (sorry for being contrarian for the sake of it), it'd be best if India just keeps forcing them to keep their readiness high on our borders, take Taliban into confidence and let them mobilize their military (or whatever the fuck that is) and just fatigue Pakistan for the next three months or so before actually starting major large scale ingresses.
You can only hot pit, hot seat your lil Blunders so many times before they need serious maintenance.
Same for their tanks, railways, logistic vehicles etc. Make no mistake, India can wreak HAVOC anyways but it will result in way more casualties than if Pakis have to keep responding to small scale trespasses on both borders with war footing and the assumption that it could turn into a large scale attack.

Would require incredible coordination between Taliban and us (oof) but can be done.
Maybe even get some horse before the cart treaty with Taliban where they don't touch PoK and we don't touch Attock (till we both do, eventually).

As it stands, Taliban is a temporary entity. Sooner or later, another Northern alliance will destabilize Afghanistan and it's true leader will be a matter of who you like more so why not?
Taliban keeps trying to act out it's best "Respected government of the state" mimicry. They definitely seem more than keen to enter alliances with actual legitimate states (and also seem to hate Pakis almost as much as us).
 
This is where India has always lacked the will to conduct punitive psyops

Fully armed flying jet performing a low pass sortie few handred metres above ground level that too over civilians area is insane , just tells they wud go to any extent to build favourable psyops

And why wouldn't we?
 
I really wish that navy and all three services with full might of India is used to at least reclaim so of POK and a policy of salami slicing is adopted by the forces

Salami slicing will not work, pakis will just move in somewhere else.
