Which one has military advantage, India or Pakistan? The truth behind Pakistani blackmail…
A rough glance at the troops of both sides showed that the Indian army was superior to the Pakistani army in terms of armed personnel, weapons and ammunition and defense budgets.
Indian soldiers and Pakistan in Waga
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi provided freedom to military institutions while choosing time, pattern and means of retaliation, Pakistan claimed evidence of imminent Indian attacks, the question asked is, how to compare Indian troops to Pakistan’s troops? A rough glimpse of the military on both sides shows that the Indian army is superior to its neighboring rogue states in terms of armed personnel, weapons and ammunition, as well as defense budgets. Both have nuclear arsenals that have the ability to attack each other.
personnel
India has 140,000 50,000 active military personnel, while Pakistan has 654,000, half of that. India has 1.1 lakh retainers, and Pakistan has 5,50,000. Similarly, New Delhi has 1 million paramilitary personnel, while Islamabad has 5,00,000.
Main tanks, artillery, rockets
India also prevails in arms and ammunition. Although the Indian army has 4,700 main combat vehicles, including the T-90, Arjun and T-72, Pakistan has 2,500, including the Al-Khalid, including the Model 85/90 and the T-80U. India can have 4,000 artillery guns; its rogue neighbors are half. The Indian army has rocket systems such as Pinaka, Smerch and Brahmos, and Pakistan has NASR, A-100 and Fatah-1. Analysts believe Brahmins cannot compare with any supersonic missiles in Pakistan.
Fighter, drone
India recently acquired the French-made Gust, Mirage 2000 and Sukhoi and the Soviet-era MiG29, and Pakistan can boast about the U.S. super skilled U.S., which is made by the U.S. in addition to the Mirage III and the JF-17 supplied by China, the U.S. made the F-16. In terms of numbers, India has 570 combat aircraft, while Pakistan has 360. Similarly, New Delhi can have Phalcon and Nethra Awacs (airborne warning and control system), and Pakistan has Saab 2000 AEW&C and ZDK-03.
India owns Israel-made herons, and the Aboriginals have developed Rusmu driverless cars (drones) or drones, Pakistan owns turkey-built bayraktar tb2 and China-backed wing-length ii. The U.S. military has a good record, and Pakistan’s drones have not been tested in actual wars, which is considered superior.
navy
India is on the road to developing a blue water navy and has been successful to some extent. It has two aircraft carriers, namely Ins Vikramaditya and Ins Vikrant. Pakistan has no aircraft carriers, although it can borrow one from China, with three of them (Lion, Shandong and Fujian).
Similarly, New Delhi can boast about 17 submarines, including the nuclear-powered Ins Arihant and Ins Arighaat, while third place is INS ARIDHAMAN. Pakistan has 11 submarines, and none of them are nuclear-powered. This provides strategic depth for the Indian Navy. It has 150 naval ships, including destroyers, frigates and frigates. Pakistan has 50 ships.
Nuclear arsenal
India and Pakistan are nuclear powers with almost equal warheads. They have 160-170 warheads, and Pakistan may be much more than India. However, their nuclear doctrine is different and therefore attracts the attention of world peace. Although India announced a policy that did not have a first-time use, it means it would not be the first country to use a nuclear bomb in war, Pakistan refused to accept it. If it feels threatened, it has announced the use of a nuclear bomb.
Nuclear theory
Najam Sethi, a well-known Pakistani journalist and Friday Times editor, recently described the nuclear doctrine. He said Islamabad could use its nuclear bombs in three cases: if the enemy occupied a large chunk of its land, if Karachi was besieged, or if the water from the main river was besieged. He said any of these three conditions could force Pakistan to think its existence is under threat and that it could blow up everyone and go to heaven.
Defense Budget
The Indian government allocated $83 billion in its 2024 budget, but Pakistan announced it would spend $11 billion. However, New Delhi will spend 2.4% of its GDP and Pakistan will spend 4% of its GDP. Despite India’s fourth place, Pakistan ranks ninth in global firepower.
In conventional wars, the Indian army was superior. However, the often repeated threat of nuclear attack in Pakistan should not be taken lightly. Any nuclear use could change the situation of the war and pose a serious threat to India.
