You see, with planning and time, there is no reason why India cannot achieve an appropriate, potent and actually helpful military doctrine
But, their insistence on needing to be seen as a superpower, a civilizational state that can create anything just as good as any other nation, will cannibalize or cripple their ability to deliver
Therefore, to really understand what might happen, look at the prevalent bureaucracy and ideology that's being discussed, that's what they have to deliver.
My suspicion, early suspicion, is that the modi avatar will be dissolved, with outside help, Congress who will represent a clean ideological break will come into power and they will naturally align to American prompts, which then will probably lead to significant American military purchases. It's Congress by the way who are representing India on the global stage to prosecute against Pakistan
The main advantage here Pakistan has, that might well keep it intact, is that we are now in a non-linear age, of nonlinear force multipliers and in a military sense Pakistan is higher up the curve and needs to continue to accelerate up the curve, but only in a military sense and only in a specific context.
India, is using lawfare, diplomacy, propaganda as it's intended nonlinear force multipliers
If let's say, the Indians now do get hold of American equipment, well that would then reduce Pakistan's military technology edge and then India's other force multipliers will be more impactful.
Again, missiles rockets bullets sure ....but look how India has been able to suspend the iwt, has been able to propagandise against Pakistan in any way it wants and it gets a hearing
The west is basically prompting India to say sure you can suspend the iwt, no major problems, sure you can bring up Pakistan and terrorism as much as you want, but you need to also get our weapons
Anyway, back to missile's.....
