Terrorism across the borders works for Bharat–in China, Sikkim Bhutan, Nepal, Lanka, and Pakistan. RAW is good at hiring and sending mercenaries to murder innocent civilians–as witnessed in Karachi last week.

But the war strategies in new NBC (Nuclear Biological, and Chemical—Pakistan’s as Nuclear power: 350 bombs) world don’t quiet seem to work for Delhi. The Hot War was a failure in the 90s during the reign of Zia Ul Haq. Then came the Hot Pursuit option which failed in Kashmir. Then foreign consultants were hired to invent the “Cold Start Strategy” (CSS). That didn’t quite work on various occasions. Nuclear deterrence & Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) blunts Bharat’s Cold Start Strategy. Bharat was unable to cross into Pakistani territory. Nukes: Don’t mess with us–Islamabad’s defiant rebuke to threats. Now the CSS has been reinvented and it is being called the “96-hour-Rapid-Thrust”. Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor’s ”new” strategy calls for rapid movement across Pakistani rivers, and have a “chota peg” in Lahore Gymkhana, before the Paksitanis can say “Allah Ho Akbar”. The new Bharati strategy works as follows:
1) Super human Bharatis will be thus able to move across heavily mined terrain under the watchful eye of more than 200,000 soliders and satellites–without detection or resistance.
2) Neither Pakistan radars, nor the AWACs nor the half a million eyeballs will be able to see these superhuman Bharatis as they waltz across the border. The Pakistani hawks in the sky: Y-89 AWACS
3) During the hours that it takes to mobilize the Indian Army, the Pakistanis will be asleep, and will not get distrubed by the noise and movement of entire tanks divisions across the border. Pakistani made UAVs: Uqaab & Jasoos
4) For 96 hours, Pakistan will not fire a single Hataf and Shaeen missiles at the advancing menace. Pakistani defense based on missile nuclear deterrent. Hatf, Shaheen, Ghauri, Babar and Abdali are far more advanced then previously thought
5) According the this cock and bull theory, as the Bharatis advance, the Pakistani Air Force, mad up of up F-16s, Mirages, and JF-17 Thunders will not strike at the slow moving tanks and artillery. PAF: Nuclear armed deterrent to hegemony
6) According the doctrine, the Rapid Force will be able to “pulverize” the Pakistanis, and “evaporate” the Pakistani tank divisions like clouds. Pakistan’s 500 Al-Khalid tanks have been in production since 2001. Next generation tanks exported via IDEAS. The tanks and artillery will simply disappear into thin air allowing the advancing Rapid Thrust Force to got to the Gymkhanas and have “chota pegs”.
7) According to the Kapoor song and dance–Neither the swamps or Sir Creek, nor the deserts of Rajistan, nor the mountains of Kashmir will be problem for the super human Rapid Force. Pakistan’s 250 JF-17s, 50 F-16: Indias panicky “concern”
THE Indian army is now revising its five-year-old doctrine to effectively meet the challenges of a possible ‘two-front war’ with Pakistan and China, deal with asymmetric and fourth-generation warfare, enhance strategic reach and joint operations with IAF and navy.
Work on the new war doctrine – to reflect the reconfiguration of threat perceptions and security challenges – is already underway under the aegis of Shimla-based Army Training Command, headed by Lt-General AS Lamba, said sources, reported Times of India on Wednesday.
It comes in the backdrop of the 1.13-million strong army having practised – through several wargames over the last five years – its ‘proactive’ war strategy to mobilise fast and strike hard to pulverise the enemy.
This ‘cold start strategy’, under a NBC (nuclear-chemical-biological) overhang, emerged from the `harsh lessons’ learnt during Operation Parakram, where it took army’s strike formations almost a month to mobilise at the `border launch-pads’ after the December 2001 terrorist attack on Indian Parliament.
This gave ample opportunity to Pakistan to shore up its defences as well as adequate time to the international community, primarily the US, to intervene. The lack of clear directives from the then Indian government only made matters worse.
“A major leap in our approach to conduct of operations (since then) has been the successful firming-up of the cold start strategy (to be able to go to war promptly),” said Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor, at a closed-door seminar on Tuesday.
The plan now is to launch self-contained and highly-mobile ‘battle groups’, with Russian-origin T-90S tanks and upgraded T-72 M1 tanks at their core, adequately backed by air cover and artillery fire assaults, for rapid thrusts into enemy territory within 96 hours. India plans to end the war decisively within the first 96 hours forcing the other sides into a fast submission of ceasefire.
