India has now over 500 defence start ups making combat drones of all kinds, especially small kamkazie ones, which are the lowest hanging fruit.

Recently a small batch of 220 of these 10 km range kamakazie drones was order for about $400 each.

India also has china on its border. India gets no edge against Pakistan as India will need to reserve drones against China too.

100k FPV would last a week in Ukraine. (Accounting for use by both sides). Pakistan and India are not Ukraine or Russia and have the ability to field more "cannon fodder". What will break us, especially Pakistan, is not damage but cost.

The only downside for India is that this kind of warfare suits the conventionally weaker side. It's an equalizer of sorts. It's India not Pakistan who has cold start doctrine and these deep arrow armoured strike corps attacks planned.

Back to cost, That's why buying off the shelf drones is unwise and if Merküt is the cheapest most hassle free (supply chain wise) FPV we can get our hands on, cheaper than our own, then that's a problem for us that we have not sorted out supply chains for our own designs.

Anyway, even though this deal sounds like kickbacks scheme to me, something is better than nothing. The deal was signed early this year. I hope we see some Merküts in action against the terrorists and afghans. They make good training dummies.

In a Pakistan-India scenario, the skirmish or conflict lasts for same amount of time, a week to 10 days and then it ends.

Pakistan will not break in fact inflict more damage because firstly a short conflict helps with element of surprise which is effective only once. The surprise of 2019 Mirage and JFT attack on IOK along with F-16s AMRAAM bringing down SU30 and Mig-21. Then the surprise in 2025 with PL-15s bringing down Rafales, Mig-29, Mirage2000 and SU30. Such feats wont be repeated next time whenever the conflict occurs. India has lost the element of surprise because even while its drones are mapping defenses inside Pakistan as they infiltrated into the border and the cities, Pakistan knows the next battle will be swarm attacks and Loitering munitions. India has given its plan away. The mapping was of 2025, Pakistan is changing its deployment of assets, including more assets and gearing towards cyber/electronic warfare.

Secondly, conventional forces involved in next conflict will be mainly Air Defence and Artillery, both are supporting arms. Armor and mechanized units will be sitting and watching the conflict go past by them. The other formations involved will be Signals for cyber and electronic warfare. The major fighting will be through drones, but it depends if infantry is handed these smaller drones and are allowed to heat up the LOC and the border posts by using FPV drones. The strategic command will be using missiles, drones and loitering munitions, especially long range ones to target assets inside India.

PAF may conduct ADA sorties to target incoming drones, but that is debatable as reaction time is too small and PAF's own AD assets will be fully utilized to safeguard Pakistan's airspace.

Pakistan and India will also be using satellites for ISR and SATCOM, so a lot of GPS spoofing and downlink jamming will be involved.
