India vs Pakistan Military Strength: Land Power

When we look at land power, India has more tanks and armoured vehicles than Pakistan. India has 4,201 tanks, while Pakistan has 2,627. India also has a lot more armoured vehicles (148,594) compared to Pakistan (17,516).
However, Pakistan has more self-propelled artillery (662) and mobile rocket projectors (600) than India, which has 100 and 264, respectively.
India does have more towed artillery guns (3,975) than Pakistan (2,629). So, while India has more of some ground weapons, Pakistan has more of others.

we have focused to heavily on armor, while many are moving away from armor to air UAV's and attack helicopters. Kickbacks from russians are clearly visible.
Towed artillery will even be worse in case of drone warfare, all the artillery of Armenia was destroyed by drone
 
Can we provoke for a change?!?! Maybe "violate" the "sanctity" of the LOC or IB for some fun. :bplease:
I feel we can't openly admit we violated LoC and Pakis.

Moreover, if the no of sectors and posts are increasing then horizontal escalation is happening. And we are steadily increasing the caliber of guns then vertical escalation is also happening.

the cycle of "they provked and hence we retaliated" has so many loops at this point.. even if we "provoke" it will be because we are retaliating for something from sunday morning of 2012.

I think we shouldnt feel guitly about provoking after they shot our citizens at point blank. If we don't admit to violating the Pakis now, then we lose the perception game.

Also I don't believe in steady escalation of firepower from LMG/MMG to higher calibers. Any fire from them should result in 155mm from our side and let's see how long they would like to play that game. There is no need to be gentlemanly about it.
 
I don't understand this unnecessary jingoism going on around this. Even ex-military personnel are shouting like the dogs of war that Pakistan wants to portray us as. The real strategists are calm and collected. Even on this thread, people need to understand that the only viable way to destroy a country from its roots is to rot its economy into oblivion. We've seen the US try and do a military takeover and what the consequences have been. We are the people of Kautilya. The steps that have been taken till now will choke Pakistan in the next 10 years if they don't fix themselves. Then they won't have even the most basic natural resources. That's the real game here. And there will be substantial kinetic action, possibly to take back PoK, and done in a way that dwarfs whatever Pakistan can retaliate with so that the Pakistani terror apparatus is shamed and essentially rendered crippled, both in terms of public support and capability. And something of this nature has to be a very calibrated military action. The nuclear deterrent always has to be kept in mind. We, in our jingoism assume that Paki warheads in Chinese missiles are worthless but military strategists cannot afford that luxury.
Very well said. Disintegrating pakistan should be our objective and it will take a co-ordinated consistent persistence over a long perioid. A head to head war may be short but it also is harmful to us. If we play with their supply lines, shrink their supplies, the pakistan state will crumble under its own weight.

Whent the state crumbles into smaller countries we can piece by piece extend our geographical boundaries to the Indus.

As the data shows we may have slight edge over pakistan but remember we have long border than pakistan and we will need to station over assets on border with China too.

So, The effective firepower available to us to reign in Pakistan in some sectors is actually at negative with respect to Pakistan.

Some jingo just look up numbers and go frog without understanding their is a chain tied around our neck with the chinese pole.

likewise pak has disturbed borders with afg, iran

heck they have disturbed interioir with BLA, sindh

and they have 13 bill in the bank they need to sa guard cos the slightest hint of pak state failing MFers are gonna loot the bank and jet off to the nearest european nation.
 
There is a larger geopolitical game brewing here. But the game doesn't predate the attack, rather, it is counting on India's retaliation to the attack. Remember, China has the BRO projects running through PoK that give China an alternative land route to a port (Karachi) in the event that the Strait of Malacca is blocked. Shutting down that major logistical pathway can pay massive strategic dividends to the US in a confrontation with China, which btw, is also brewing.
China certainly knows this, but in the current geopolitical climate, it is choosing to consolidate its economic interests rather than protect a Plan B.
We can take the Chinis into confidence if we guarantee them some sort of return on their investments. Whatever they blew on CPEC on several white elephant projects in Pak is just that and even they know it. It will take some more impressive diplomatic manoeuvering and leveraging on our part however to settle these long standing border disputes.

Embarrassing

Hopefully this episode drives change. Should be an order of magnitude higher than them on every thing.

This is a bit a zero sum game with China at the moment. In geopolitics, you have to understand that the more powerful nation is always draws the most benefits from any bilateral agreement. If India can play it's cards right, we can actually manage to deal with China on equal grounds in the matter because China is at a disadvantage here.
