Here is the issue here for India, what is the ultimate goal ? capture AJK ? lets say they do push in and take out most of the military bases, but no way they can establish a complete Air Superiority over Pakistan's air space, not even in AJK. Now to push deep inside AJK they need to put around 600,000-900,000 soldiers, because the terrain is not flat like Ukraine but its mountains and hilly, with Valleys and river crossings, not just but operating Tanks in that region is hard, can't bring heavy metal junks like Arjuns there. Indian Transport Helicopters will be shot down by MANPAD's, SSG with local help will make their soldiers lives hell, Ambush their supply lines while Pakistan can easily Harass them with long range Stand-off and loitering weapons, The limited number of tanks/APC can easily be targeted by using ATGM's, and SSG with local Kashmiri's can easily infiltrate's and Blow up major Dams and bridges inside India.
Even if everything works for India their end goal will never be achieved unless both nations sit down and talk, Indians have to stop supporting TTP/BLA, Pakistan's support for Kashmiri's fighters was all time low anyway, India govt reckless actions in Kashmir and refusing to continue peace talk, than crazy lunatic media banging war drums even when LOC has a cease-fire tells me that the nation is no mood for Peace, Modi will bring much much destruction to India, and I bet America's are fed up with their Pakistan obsession, Americans trying to prep Indians to counter China but these Petty Indians can't even get over or make Peace with neighboring Pakistan, and now even BDian's are done with them, so rather than gaining allies Indians lost 2 major allies within last 5 years, Ghani Govt in Afghanistan and Hasina in BD, and I fear that its connected to Indians constant push against Pakistan, because in long run they are looking themselves to be surrounded by a alliance of Pakistan/China/Bangladesh, I won't be surprised that soon we will hear Indians bragging about a 3.0 front War.
