A grim portent:
Strategic think tanks in India have considered the possibility of a single massive decapitating nuclear strike on Pakistan with hundreds of warheads . From the Indian perspective based on the May 2025 conflict experience the operation appears feasible with no major consequences for India. It will be a "one way " street.
The success of this potential strike is ensured by the weaknesses exposed during the May 2025 conflict :
- Pakistan has limited and ineffective anti-missile defenses Most Brahmos missiles were not intercepted and a swarm of nuclear tipped missiles will wreak complete devastation.
- Pakistan has limited and ineffective missile attack warning systems. Pakistan has no effective missile launch detection, tracking and warning system in place. Neither the impending attacks on the mosques and schools on May 6th-7th nor the attacks on the air bases on May 9th-10th were detected until the impacts. So the retaliatory "launch on detect " option appears unrealistic.
- Pakistan has no nuclear attack proof hardened command and control center with the top military and civilian leadership still residing and operating out of home offices in colonial legacy style sprawling bungalows. Even the GHQ buildings are normal commercial buildings that can be taken out by conventional missiles alone.
- Pakistan has no camouflage, masking, or cover capability that conceals the whereabouts of the critical decision making centers, 100% of Pakistani territory is under enemy satellite high resolution optical surveillance. This was evident during the release of high resolution pictures of missile impacts on Pakistani air bases,
- Electronic surveillance, There is a strong possibility that communications in Pakistan are compromised and the whereabouts of the top military and civilian leadership are known and tracked by the enemy. Media appearances on live television easily give away the locations of top military and civilian personnel
- Civil defense: There is no evidence of any civil defense procedures such as safe shelters, bunkers that the top military or civilian leadership can retreat to . There has never been any fire drill or missile warning exercise of the National Assembly or Senate while in session and one strike could decapitate the leadership. Worse there is no back up chain of command even if there are survivors after the nuclear attack.
- Pakistan has no backup airborne command and control systems such as the "doomsday jets " that are used by the USA and Russia. In any case the warning time even if available, is too short for any sort of airborne C3 platform to take off.
"And me personally, would rather be vaporized by a nuclear fireball, than live under foreign occupation. Ask the West Bank what happens when you surrender to your occupier"
Agree here. Hopefully our younger generation are aware of this, However based on Hindutva doctrine, the enemy wants Pakistan's territory
without the population so in retrospect a foreign occupation is unlikely,
i dont think these type of things are made public
1. Bunkers would probably not be made public because you never want enemy to know
In such a scenario you underestimate Pakistan's Missiles... We have already closed the Gap of SCALP type systems with Taimoor missile and theoretically which has ALOT bigger range then SCALP
2. Shaheen 3 IS a very potent delivery platform for nuclear missiles, with an estimated High Speed of Mach 18, In No way can one air defence system stop that Iran managed to strike with almost impunity in Israel with their hypersonic missiles despite Israel having sophisticated David Sling/Aero Systems
3. The Enemy might have sat imagery on us... But the Deputy Army Chief of india and even the Army Chief himself have admitted Pakistan knew where every single indian asset was where it was going where it would end up down to the dot
4. ISI is extremely capable and we have no reason to believe they would not have info on indians aswell... Do you think we are sleeping around?
5. Doomsday jets wont help because at that moment both countries end, no one wins , no one...
6. India was legit crying for a ceasefire by May 10th.. It is reported on may 10th that ajit doval ran to trump... even colonel sofia after our response legit looked like she was about to cry
7. Since My Dad is a PAF Officer... He indeed told me that the number "11" Airbases is extremely exaggerated. The Actual i believe numbers he told me were somewhere around 6-7 Airbases being hit. Only Bholari was the harsh one... And The Indians were launching 100s of brahmos already and alot of them were soft or hard killed
What we need from here:
1. We need HQ-19 Anti Ballistic Defence Systems and Order alot more hq 9 we need and should have around 6 Squadrons of HQ-9B Even 2 Squadrons managed to fend of brahmos
2. Invest with turkey on EW Equipment lots of EW Will ensure we can soft kill systems like we did last conflict
3. Mass Produce Missiles like Taimoor and invest in ground launched Hypersonic Glide Vehicle Missiles(If we believe the "lenticular clouds" we might have some already)
4. They i believe had Full Prepared Bunkers in AHQ To be ready in case of any attack on there...
A War like that would be brutal for both countries
