Ok, it is me, Aestas Vivax. My plans for a video have been significantly delayed, hence my pushing forward with the book since I have some time to spare to do so.

It is an Indo-Pak war, set either in 1987 or 1988, depending on how I want it to play out. Let's just say there's a gap of 1 year to what happened to Kahuta, enough time for both sides to arm up more than usual when compared to real life. The reason for me setting up this thread is to help me establish a reasonable military at the moment for both sides and to ensure I do not have bias. And yes, a creative license exists. (Don't worry about the war, I used a lot of my brain power to plan it out)

For now, I have set up the Air Force of both sides (Combat Aircraft only, rn) and would like to get recommendations as to what could be added.
