Pakistan-India Conflict 2025: News Updates and Discussion

[Sam6536]

The eternal question:
With a 7:1 superiority, numerically, technically, economically in population and geographically why does India allow Pakistan to exist at all after 4 wars over 7 decades? Why a "ceasefire " every time?
Each time Infian generals threaten total destruction and "erasing from the map " and then accept a ceasefire.
Pakistan is still around, last we checked.

First of all keep the political jingoism aside, the statements of "destruction" of either country is meant for the masses/local audience not for serious commentators. Over the decades even from your side there have been generals who have stated this rhetoric.

It's just rhetoric.

As for the first part of your comment i understand it to be this question
"why didn't India stream roll through Pakistan even with it's superiority"

Because Pakistan has nukes. Post 1947 Indo-Pak armies were squarely on the same level with the same level of machinery. Operation Brasstacks was the last window of opportunity for India to launch an all out offensive.

India's objectives in 1947, 1965, 1971, and 1999 were limited

1947: Stop Pakistani irregulars and secure J&K.

1965: Repel infiltration and restore the status quo. Pakistani "Operation Gibraltar" and "Grand Slam" failed, India held more territory

1971: Protect East Pakistan's refugees, support Bangladesh, and neutralize Pakistan's eastern front. India achieved this completely.

1999: Evict intruders from Kargil. India recaptured all Kargil heights, Pakistan withdrew under global pressure.

At no point was India's war objective to "destroy Pakistan".

Also no major power among the USA, Russia or China would allow the subcontinent to collapse into total war, especially with nuclear escalation risks.

according to them no F-16 is down either.

Because it isn't you low IQ clown

You seem to be more traumatised than any of these folks. Look at all your messages regarding these interactions.

The real soldiers are interacting and talking to each other with honour and civility, while people like you are loosing your mojo with each such post.

Grow up. Try to be just 10% of these uniformed men/women who know when to do what.

I wouldn't be mocking these IAF personnel if their boss wouldn't have made claims of fake kills four months after the conflict

AP Sngh is respnsible for me mocking these guys

The Brahmos being a supersonic missile that is hard to counter with missile batteries?

Wait for trade deal with India this Dec , they will start singing different tunes, won’t be surprised with F 35 offer as well.

I really hope India buys F 35; it may become a White Elephant though. Except for the Israeli and the US Air Force, F 35 seems like very prone to maintenance issues or not really needed by those countries who have them.

Even the UK has problems keeping the F35 operational and deployed. It is a problem child as far as cost control and uptime is concerned.

And if the UK is struggling then imagine the Indian Air Force!!

I think IAF can handle F35 better than UK with its oil leak shopping bags
