WHAT IF INDIA AND PAKISTAN GOES TO NUCLEAR WAR

Pakistan and India have fought three wars over Kashmir, a disputed territory to which both nations insist. Pakistan's prime minister, Imran Khan, recently suggested the countries may be headed toward another. "There may be a potential that two nuclear-armed countries will come face to face at some stage," Khan said at the UN annual summit in September, bearing on the Kashmir conflict. Together, India and Pakistan possess 2% of the world's nuclear arsenal: India is estimated to own around 140 nuclear warheads, while Pakistan is estimated to own around 160. But they're in an race to amass more weapons. By 2025, India and Pakistan could have expanded their arsenals to 250 warheads each, in line with a brand new paper that predicts what might happen if the 2 nations entered into a nuclear war.  "It would be instant temperature change," Alan Robock, an author of the study, told Military news.   "Nothing like this in history, since civilization was develo...

IRANIAN MILITARY: LESSONS LEARNED FROM OPERATION PRAYING MANTIS.

Operation Praying Mantis launched by US Military was an attack on 18 April 1988. This was in retaliation to the attack by Iranian Navy on US guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts in which an Iranian mine blew up a hole in US frigate hull.  The operation made US Navy to employ all of its power by destroying half of Iranian Navy. Two oil facilities, three Iranian speed boats, one Iranian frigate and one fast attack gun boat was lost in the operation. This was also the first time that the US Navy used its anti-ship missiles against any adversary after world war 2.    The lessons learned were simple, Iranian Navy could not match the technologically superior Naval force of the US military. To counter this Iran has developed a large fleet of small high-speed boats which can maneuver easily with large guns attached to each one of them. This Iranian strategy is to attack the US Navy in a swamp attack in case it is required to fight in a war. Still the Iranian navy i...

PAKISTAN MILITARY STRATEGIZES

It is a fact that Pakistan Military strategizes on it assets and capabilities. This was evident during the 27th February 2019 operation against the Indian Military when in the broad day light , the PAF aircraft jets pounded the Indian military targets. It is also said that during that raid, the top Indian military commander of Northern command Gen Ranbir Singh was there in the headquarters when it was hit by the Pakistani jets especially the JF 17 thunder and Mirage V. On the very same day, an Indian Airforce Wing commander was caught by the Pakistan army from Kashmir as his plane was shot. The pilot wing commander Abhinandan was captured and taken as prisoner and was taken care of. On the night of 27th February 2019, the Indian National security advisor Mr. Ajit Doval called his Pakistani counterpart Lt Gen Asim Munir and asked him to handover the Indian pilot back to India or else India would bomb Pakistani cities. On this the Pakistan military strategized and selected eight cities...

THE MILGEM FRIGATE: PAKISTAN’S NAVY FUTURISTIC WEAPON?

Pakistan Defence ministry had signed in 2018 a deal with Turkey’s Military factory and Shipyard Corporation (ASFAT A.S) for four MILGEM frigates for the Pakistan Navy. It is expected that these ships will arrive by 2024 with two ships built in Turkey and the remaining two ships to be built in Pakistan. The contract is worth 1.5 Billion US dollars. But the important thing is that this deal will provide the Pakistan Navy to design and have intellectual property rights for this frigate in the future. This will allow Pakistan Navy to built additional frigates of this type at will in the future with the help of ASFAT A.S. MILGEM FRIGATE The reason for the selection of MILGEM frigate was that it contains high tech integrated systems. It has situational awareness to munitions to electronic warfare, with Type 054/A this will become the main stay asset for the Pakistan Navy in the future. Most of the sub systems will come from turkey which has a reason to be selected by the PN...

ACOUSTIC CAPACITY BUILDING IN THE ARABIAN SEA. POSSIBILITIES FOR PAKISTAN NAVY

The Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) was a massive Cold War infrastructure created by the US for its military necessity to track the Soviet submarine threat originating from the North and approaching the US mainland. SOSUS is a chain of underwater listening posts located around the world in places such as the Atlantic Ocean near Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom – the GIUK gap – and at various locations in the Pacific Ocean. The system was supplemented b y mobile assets such as the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) and became part of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS).  The US secretly recorded continuous undersea noise for many years and limited the access to its defence scientists and naval experts involved in tracking Soviet vessels. It was started in 1949 and towards the latter part of the Cold War, American biologist and environmentalist Roger Searle Payne got access to the SOSUS recordings and ...

OPERATION SWIFT RETORT : PAKISTAN SHOULD PRIORITIZE INVESTMENT IN THE JF-17

To the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), Operation Swift Retort had ‘worked.’ The PAF said it was able to carryout precision strikes against multiple targets across the Line of Control (LoC) while also dissuading a larger and better equipped force from escalating tensions any further. The PAF lauded the effectiveness of its Falcon 20-based electronic warfare (EW) and electronic countermeasures (ECM) aircraft – it specifically noted how the Falcon 20 apparently jammed communications between the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) assets.[1] The PAF also felt that Swift Retort validated its ability to deploy stand-off range weapons (SOW), and manage large-scale air operations. Indeed, for the PAF, Swift Retort was an unprecedented experience in that this operation was its first involving networked assets, long-range guided bombs (SOW) against pre-planned targets and, potentially, as many as 18 to 24 fighters supported by special mission aircraft. But if Operation Swift Retort ‘worked,’ it ...
