That is easy to do. But we cannot attack their economy on our own. Only the West has that power.
India does not use sanctions as a matter of policy.

@Hydra and all those who think we can't take on Pak successfully(or China) should read @Hellfire 's tweet posted above by @randomradio. I've been myself saying this for long.
A BrahMos barrage is good enough to bring Pak to its knees. Destroying their key infra along with training camps should be our no. one priority. Hit them where it would hurt them the most.
@randomradio
MKI with Derby-ER could have caused heavy casualty to PAF formation during Swift Retreat. Still in 2024 the same scenario is repeating and we would be damned if IAF didn't covertly integrate Derby-ER with MKI. Thankfully for us we've 36 Rafales/S-400 with Meteor/40N6, otherwise PAF J-10CE with PL-15 could've caused serious problem for us.

What? If that was the case, they would have modernized faster.
Not even close. We are on an entirely different level today.
Even the Chinese don't claim what you have claimed, and Pakistan has export models in inadequate numbers.
J-10CE is still export grade. Rafale is a full generation ahead. Plus they are still learning the ropes. You can guess it's not been fully operationalized yet. PAF wants to induct new F-16s.
The HQ-9's interception range is 125 km on a good day.
Nigeria's reported poor performance of the VT-4. The Pakistanis dropped their order by half, from around 500 to 250.
Almost nothing's going well in Pakistan when it comes to modernization. It's unclear if they have even restored most of their compromised capabilities they demonstrated in 2019.
All the stuff we have dropped into our inventory is meant to fight China.
That would increase costs on them. We can intercept their systems better than they can ours. And we can increase costs via physical damage and win the perception war.
That could become part of our escalation matrix. But I think our main focus will be to end with a limited war and force them into negotiations.
Retaking some border areas will impose extremely heavy costs. Haji Pir Pass, Kartapur corridor etc. Tactically too, Kartapur will place us on the other side of the Ravi river, and possession of the pass can significantly diminish infiltration, while we can connect Uri and Poonch.
We were already in the process of modernizing...Rafale & S400 deals were already signed before that point.
Unfortunately the enemy has also modernized. Not to the same level, yes - but enough that the decisive advantage we thought we'd have isn't so decisive anymore.
Not the time or place to get into tactical trivialities. But it is my opinion that IAF will not be involved in our retaliation.
Army/SF all the way.
Happy to be proven wrong.
They can act as support, which the BSF and ITBP already do. But they don't have the training and equipment necessary for a war.
CAPFs are necessary against the 0.5 front.
Let's see, Astra Mk1's more than plugged the gap between the MKI and F-16. Astra Mk2 is ready, we do not know how many prototypes could be available for use. Even if we haven't taken deliveries of piecemeal numbers of I-Derby ER and we have definitely dropped it for our bulk requirement, we could still ask Israel to send some over before we take action. We likely have some already.
And it could be possible that the S-400 is integrated with the MKI, allowing the targeting of AWACS from long range using the 40N6.
After all this talk, will there be a military response from the Gov?. From what I'm seeing, there is no threat being made to Pakistan or in an indirect manner. I know what this will be, just like the Reasi incident, the Gov will send in additional troops, some terrorists will be killed, and then everything will die down.
Of course, would be happy to be proven wrong, Pakistan should be dealt with force as it should have been since 2019.

We did not change our plans after 2019, which means we were already on the right track. The only real change was buying Russian AAMs as stopgap.
What changed things was Galwan. And we made massive purchases after that and most of that's been delivered already.
Army cannot do anything big without maneuvering on the field, they can only operate at the level of the 2016 surgical strike with just SF, but we have to take the first step for a major attack with either missile strikes or air strikes.
We gotta start with a "non-military" strike on terrorist camps and wait for Pak to escalate, like we did with Balakot.
If we wanna start small and allow Pak to escalate, it's possible. But the attacks have to be publicly verifiable.
I remember last year, I expressed on this forum that the deterioration of the security situation in the Kashmir region was an important factor affecting Modi's election. But I was unanimously ridiculed by the Indians on this forum. They told me how safe Kashmir was today.
In recent years, it has been statistically calm in Kashmir.
It's an easy statement to make about a conflict region and say "I told you so."
This has nothing to do with Kashmir. Pakistani terrorists came in and attacked Hindu tourists. A foreign terrorist organization has claimed the attack, the same ones that attacked Mumbai.
Pardon me for saying this but we have just got a Casus Belli for War
Pakistani internal situation is so bad that Their people are saying this was a plot by Pak Army to rally the country around Munir but they still hate Pak Army for Banning PTI and Imran Khan
We must use this opportunity

Yes that Col. Hunny Bakshi was spreading it from yesterday and I myself was mentioning it is fake because non of the initial release by the LeT(trf) mentioned about that stuff which should be suprising because the whole point of the new name and branding is distance it from a mohemmadan terrorist group to armed "resistance" group, but since our own people are spreading that BS IB story the pakees have picked it up and LeT(trf) is saying they are targeting IB guys not civilians based on religious profiling.
See the third pic for initial LeT(trf) release
Asim Munir was also away from Pakistan when Pahalgam happened
WHAT IF some Rouge officer planned this to have him removed
