I am sure Pakistanis would have reached out to China and US to stop any action by India
I really doubt US will intervene this time - given their trade goals with India, they will happily sacrifice Pak. Now China is a different story — they might intervene covertly, kind of depends on extent of Indian action. We have to wait and see how that plays out.
 
If I had my way, I will not go for POJK but will go for Sindh and thru that to Balochistan. India will be on three sides of remaining Pakistan and fourth side will be Afghanistan. We can kill CPEC thru that also. No need to go into manpower intensive war in POJK as our IBGs can tie down PA in various areas due to the highly mobile nature of IBGs. They will keep guessing where and when will an IBG strike. This will not allow them a lagre force movement from one theatre to another. Pin Down PA and than finish them off. We must tie down PA in POJK with just some probing assaults and let arty do the job. Pound them relentlessly all across the now ceasefire line.
If we capture pak land, and if they use nuke over india then we will not be in a position to do the same because it will harm our own people.

The current exercise in progress “Akraman” is similar to what we did Pre-Balakote. Pak will be expecting stuff to happen on similar lines. My gut says IN will start the hostilities this time - IAF will join in. Prediction/Educated guess on possible approach this time?

IN doesnt come in since our response is "calibrated" against terror not Pak. IAF, IA hit terror spots officially not PA.

IN coming in means war on Pak. Thats a bigger game.

We have more artillery than Pakistan, and you have miscounted the numbers.

But the real problem for Pakistan is ammo. They can't match us even in localized duels, never mind the entire border.

People tend to forget our army is being designed to fight on two fronts simultaneously.
Are we talking about artillery and not factoring satellites, which can see the deployments of artillery, apart from ISRO i know two guys who are ready to send info if we ask them, and also there's this thing and V3 is ready,
Let me tell you how dangerous this thing is
Mass - 8.5kg
Range -6km
Warhead- anti personal- blast fragmentation with steel balls, anti armour - top attack shap charge,
Roof buster
Guidance- uncooled IIR seeker, + S band Data Link,
V3 bigger warhead, range 10km,
Platform - quadcopters/ hexacopters drones,
Works perfect in day & night,
I would leave adani for production,
Are the enemy is ready to fight against them, it will not be like those Fpv sucide drones, we can fire it from long range, with multiple missiles at a time

Based on how things are going, I am having a feeling that India will induce/force Pak to fire the first shot. A naval blockade may be? IA and IAF will be ready. Pak will be forced to act - and we get the right to retaliate against Pak Mil/terror infra.

Really?? The same Pak which threatened nuclear war on Kashmir and then called it a day showing ppts in press conferences after 370?

Talking and fighting are two different ball games. Pak has mastery only in one.

WB provides India low-interest or interest-free loans with moratoriums of 5-10 years. There's a limit to what we can do without damaging relations with them.

Even a temporary abeyance can provide a negotiations advantage.

Indian dependence upon IDA of WB (low interest / interest free) loans has steadily decreased since 2014 and now it is measly 30-40 million dollars each year. We still owe IDA of WB loans of tune of 13.5 billion dollars but we are hardly taking any further loans under this program.


If you look at IBRD of WB, which provides loans at SOFR + Variable spread rate, each year we take about 2-3 billion dollars of loan. We get these loans at about 5.0-5.8% per annum(4-5% SOFR and 0.8% spread). Cheaper but not really very cheap. Comparatively, Indian government bonds pays about 6.5%.


This saves us about 300 million dollars a year in interests for an average lending of 3 billion dollars a year.

Sure this is not nothing, but this is also not something that India can be threatened with. Leverage that World Bank has on us, today is bare minimal. And on the question of sovereignty, it will not mess with us. We can live without them but if we quit shares of world bank or worse sell them to China, it would not go well with America and the west. So, no. World bank is not going to give us trouble on likes of Pakistan which do not hold any value for American and west now.

I say, India should have abrogated that treaty. World bank is replaceable by a number of other institutions and if nothing than by government bonds.
