Conclusion: India does not enjoy a remarkable superiority over pakistan as far as land warfare is concerned. Given this data, India cannot defeat pakistan in a quick campaign. it has the only advantage of greater resources which can be utillised in a long drawn out war.

 

[My-Analogous]

Its mean that Pakistan is overloaded because we are 1/3 of India and in war time we didn't move whole force and leave other side of border empty

 

[Storm Force]

What poor effort at comparing

no thought to types of weapons, firepower, helicopters, speacial forces, tactics, logistics or comminication lines

TOTALLY IGNORED THE EFFECTS OF AIR POWER,
NAVAL BLOCKADES
RESERVES & FINNACIAL IMPLICATIONS

Just a plain and simple

India cannot defeat pakistan in a quick cam

WELL LET ME REMIND you India took EAST PAKISTAN inside 10 days in 1971 AND 93000 PAKISTANI soldiers as prisoners

So dont be fooled by numbers. INDIA MILITARY HARDWARE is generally far more expensive and far more lethal

 

[Icewolf]

1971 is a whole different ball game

Pakistan Army was surrounded on all 4 corners

To fight would mean suicide

But in Kashmir, India can never win

 

[Supply&Demand]

1971 is a whole different ball game

Pakistan Army was surrounded on all 4 corners

To fight would mean suicide

But in Kashmir, India can never win

U really think that in war we will keep ourselves restricted to Kashmir...we will strike any where..check 1965...Pakistan underestimated us..we not only defeated u..but in 1971..we broke u..

India got involved in a civil war in 1971.

It is easy to win when your opponent is also fighting itself.

India got involved in a civil war in 1971.

It is easy to win when your opponent is also fighting itself.

It was a two front war with the added danger of the US/ UK and China ganging up on India.

Except that it always has.

In 1965, you tried to take Kashmir, and ended up desperately defending Lahore. In 1999, you tried to take Kashmir, and lost. When have we ever NOT won?

Say this a thousand times, until you come to accept the reality - Indian Kashmir will always be Indian. Pak cannot take it.

Not only have we held Kashmir for 6 decades, we have also managed to include Siachen into India

Where do you think East pak got fighters to fight even a civil war? Who do you think organized and trained the battallions of Mukti bahini and other fighters? There would have been no civil war possible, without Indian help. Otherwise, it would have been just massacre after massacre by pak army of Bengali people. Not civil war.

 

[KingMamba]

It was a two front war with the added danger of the US/ UK and China ganging up on India.

It can only be a two front war if another front actually opens up.

 

[RajputWarrior]

It can only be a two front war if another front actually opens up.

Technically East and West pakistan count as fighting at two fronts.

 

[illusion8]

It can only be a two front war if another front actually opens up.

It was a two front war with our forces fighting at both fronts.

Its funny how indians mental-masturbate when it comes to military. History only shows that indians have lost, faced humiliation, got plundered, got mass raped, and saw only defeats in all of their military history. Pashtuns, Afghans, Turks, Arabs, Mughals, Persians etc etc defeated indians again and again and again and again. Islamic Military Imperialism destroyed ancient indian civilization---ruled india for thousand years---and then divided india into 3 states with two "Muslim majority" states and one hindu majority lying in the middle with no strategic advantage.

indians feel good about talking how they fought a 7 TIMES smaller nation..but when they faced their EQUALS...indians just got ***** SLAPPED by chinese..indians ran with their tails in their *****...lmao..

Regarding Pakistan, indians again shown their military incompetence, and lack of capability. This is how indian wars went against W.Pakistan (Today's Pakistan).

1948 war

In 1948 , Pakistanis got THE MOST strategically important lands in Kashmir. Pakistan captured population centers of Gilgit , Skardu etc and secured access to central Asia...Cutting India off from Central Asian route..and hence containing poor indians in useless gigantic plains .... Where India would've got entire Kashmir due to Hindu treachery ...it only got some parts..and that too which are strategically of very less importance...and made even less important due to Indo-Pak water-accords ..

1965 war

In 1965 , Pakistan defeated Indian attack on Lahore city and forced indians to retreat , captured strategically important Indian towns like Khem Kharan , captured strategically important Indian supply-lines like Muna Bao railway station , PAF just badly blasted the a$$ of five times larger IAF , and all this eventually forced India to face the humiliation of signing an agreement of stalemate with SEVEN TIMES smaller nation-that was badly outgunned and outnumbered during the war... Your OWN media back then called it as "giving a walkover to Pakistan."

Kargil Conflict

In 1999 Kargil war , just 5000 Pakistani troops+fighters got 30,000 indian soldiers with their pants down .... We slaughtered the f*ck outa your poor troops...At the end of the war , Pakistan captured strategically important Indian heights such as point 5353 , Dalu Nag , Saddle Ridge etc etc..We STILL hold these Indian territories ... We over-look NH-1 and Indian supplies to Siachen...

So in every war against W.Pakistan (Today's Pakistan) , Indian forces have faced humiliation from SEVEN TIMES smaller nation..When indians faced their EQUALS...they were a$$-raped by Chinese But Pakistanis faced SEVEN TIMES larger nation and stood their ground pretty...

180 million Pakistanis contained 1200 million indians ...

1971 war was a civil war so it is useless to even talk about it...

Oh yeah you are right but not against Chinese or UK/US.
