Lots of excitement from Pakistan fanboys for pl 15 or pl 15E. But in case of a faceoff Pakistani tankers and SaaB awacs will face S400 and Multiple MRSAM deployment of Indian side. Indian will take them out first to make life difficult for PAF. Let see how PAF get out of this situation.
They aren't entering our airspace. The Pakistanis wi hide deep inside their own airspaces. The Pakistanis will just lob standoff munitions on ammo depots and civilian targets. There's no other strategy they have. The s400's won't really be required because they will use the j-10's as flanks and use the jf-17's and f-16's as baits to IAF aircraft. They cannot survive in our space.
 
Then, why didn't India just announce that it was attacking China and that China must not resist, otherwise it would use nuclear weapons?
The Indian nuclear threat is so ridiculous. China and Pakistan have four times as many nuclear weapons as India. Do India really think it has an advantage?
Not really sure why the count matters? Have you heard of the term ā€œOverkillā€ — you cannot really kill something that is already dead. In a nuclear exchange, the scenario will be MAD for all parties involved, what is needed is a capable delivery system which we have in active service. Your comparison of A5 and DF-21 kind of exposed your argument earlier. Good luck successfully intercepting MIRVs consisting of decoys etc, plus, it will be a saturation strike and no ADS in the world can handle that. Few are bound to get through and that’s sufficient. If you think China can come out unscathed- you are living in a delusional world of either ignorance or denial or both!
DF21 may not have the same range as Agni-5, but its technology level is similar.
Let’s elaborate on the tech aspect then, care to comment on which ā€œtechā€ similarities exist between DF-21 and A5?

Swift Retort redux.
Lobbing PL15(E) from deep within their airspace will probably not get them kills, but can send our assets defensive. IAF needs to ensure that we are able to get our BVRMs off this time - get a firing solution and engage.

The more I see this, the more it looks like India forcing Pakistan’s hands. The first strike will come from Pakistan, more like India will make Pakistan strike first, the reason - could be anything, but exercises till middle of May makes no sense otherwise.

Those exercises are meant to keep PLAAF away from their prying eyes. It gives us the excuse necessary to use EW.

I think we will start the same as usual, a ground operation or an air strike against terrorist hotbeds and allow Pak to escalate things on their own.

Could be - however, airstrike will probably have to be launched from within our airspace this time - there is zero element of surprise this time, so going deep doesn’t make a lot of sense strategically.
 
You do realize if war goes nuclear, China will be attacked too?

There's zero chance of China help Pakistan. The opposite can be true.

Anyway, unless things go wrong, this war is unlikely to see the destruction of Pakistan.



So why couldn't the West do the same thing in Ukraine? It took them 2 years to train pilots and supply fighter jets too.

And what about communications? Will you be able to replace Chinese systems with Pakistani in a few days? Have you readied systems with translations into English? Or will you teach Pakistanis Mandarin in a few days?

Any assistance you are willing to provide beyond dumb ammo will take at least 2-3 years to arrive. I have no clue how you do not understand that.

Ukraine was provided older NATO systems and even that took time. Are you willing to compromise all of your comms and networking systems in just a few days? Everything you have in all your theaters will have to be replaced.

And most importantly, how are you going to supply Pakistan? You think the IAF won't destroy your transports? You can't just fly in or ship in anything until the war is over.



I think there's a translation problem. I said the attack will commence in a few days or within a week.
It's just a language issue. The operating interfaces of JF17 and J10C are exactly the same. Isn't Pakistan's J10CE using Urdu or English now?
Tomorrow, maybe a Chinese J10C will land in Pakistan from Iran or Afghanistan.
As for combat system, except for a few old F16s and Mirage 3s, all Pakistani aircraft are Chinese weapons, so there is no problem with combat system.
 
Information about India's hydrogen bomb is that in the nuclear test in May 1998, India tested a two-stage thermonuclear device with an equivalent of 40,000 tons of TNT. The test site was located 200 meters underground and was code-named "White House". This is what I call India's largest nuclear test. However, Americans do not agree with this. Some believe that India may have tested an enhanced nuclear device with deuterium as the booster. And the equivalent is too small. India's nuclear test equivalent is mostly between several thousand tons and hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT, which belongs to nuclear fission or enhanced fission weapons (atomic bombs), not million-ton thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs).

Why would Indians lie about it?

Nobody else is sitting around and arguing about whether we actually have thermonukes or not when we have SSBNs and ICBMs.
 
We need to be careful not to provoke a war because our military is not capable of fighting on two fronts at once. One being major ally of west and another China

Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Gulf.
These countries are always fond of Pakistan and are developing/ed. If we send some unknown gunmen there then some actual damage can be caused.

Thank you for the advise but our current plans are centered around how far we need to go, a limited war or a full-blown one with complete destruction of Pakistan.

Even if we face some serious losses, we have enough diplomatic capital to get away with it. The West needs India to deal with China, so financial assistance will also come in, necessary to rebuild parts of the cities destroyed.

If Pakistan is taken out, the opposite will happen, China will be forced to back out. India as a land power threat will become too great for China to handle. We can reduce the size of our army drastically and still double our offensive manpower against China. And we can go about creating dedicated marine and air corps. Knowing all that, China will be forced to become more peaceful in the Himalayas.

Anyway there's nothing China can do to India without dealing with the US first.

Also, China could have attacked India in 2020 itself. India was a lot weaker back then. If you didn't back then, why would you do that now? Pakistan could have also helped out. Instead you allowed India to rearm. Some of our offensive capabilities have increased by at least 10 times since then
You can try it, it's a unique delusion of Indians
 
J-10c are now fully integrated. Although the PAF are only flaunting J-17 with PL 15 .
There no stopping them from arming J-10c with the same.
Plus nobody uses a 200km range air to Air missile for the full 200km range.
These are used within the firing aircraft radar range. The motor burns longer and the missile can keep chasing the enemy Aircraft for much onger while the enemy Aircraft performs evasive maneuvers.
Making those long range missiles very effective at shorter normal BVR ranges.

We already know J-10 is integrated, but there's only 20 of those. If JF-17 B3 is integrated with it, that doubles the fleet by another 20-30.

But the real clincher is if PL-15 is integrated with AWACS, this would help older JF-17s carrier it too, all cued by AWACS. That would increase the number of JF-17s carrying the PL-15 and pose serious risks.

But if it's just 20+20/30 or the info is wrong and it's merely 20 J-10C, then the threat drops drastically.

Yes, missiles are not used at their longest ranges... Post 549

But it's difficult to use it at its most effective range too 'cause India's fighters have better support systems, like EW, at closer ranges. The JF-17 as a platform is insufficient.

won't range of missile matter when you are extrapolating 100% interception rates?

will single child chinese parents want to lose their blood line in a war in far away lands between different people, and if India really attacks Tibet why not nuke it then, than pre empting it by joining pakistan now? Your 731 IQ logic is all over the place, nor are you replying to me in the paf thread, where you confidently shared Indian hacked J-10C deal document as Pakistan itself released it🤣
 
There is no accurate picture of HQ26 now, how do you judge it is outdated? India's anti-missile level is roughly equivalent to China's 1970's Anti-Strike-1 missile technology.

View attachment 42678

"Outdated"? No. I said, "Irrelevant." Another translation error. HQ-26 is meant for ships. Where is the sea between India and China?

The US came to India with THAAD, it was rejected.

And India's nuclear missiles are not higher than China's DF-21 missiles. China has ensured a 100% interception probability of DF-21 missiles in all anti-missile tests since 2010

.

Or that doesn't speak well for DF-21.

DF-21 has a max speed of mach 10 with a range below 2000 km. That's well within the threshold of India's capabilities.

Why would India want to get into a conventional war with China? Our demonstrable ability to fight back was the reason why China had to back out in the first place after Galwan.

We have no intention of fighting a nuclear war with China or Pakistan. But an Indo-Pak war can go nuclear, and that will automatically make China a target by association if China makes it a two-front war. I don't understand how you find this difficult to comprehend.

Due to the risk of India and Pakistan fighting a nuclear war, it's extremely unlikely that China will fight for Pakistan in such circumstances.

Plus China's BMD is insufficient, and India has thermonukes and IRBMs/ICBMs that can destroy Chinese cities.
