Guide us to the straight path, The path of those whom You favoured - INDIA- Not of those who have incurred Your wrath - PAKI GOVT-, Nor of those who have gone astray - PAKI GOVT. --KORAN Decapitation, Neutralization of delivery systems -A living nightmare for the PAKIS. Make a quick mend in relations. Be nice to the Indians - We will let U live First strike is of no value, because of multiply-located atomic arsenal in India ---JPR dawn.com Pakistan's choices are particularly difficult. Its minimal arsenal may encourage conventional preemption by the enemy. Eric Arnett has pointed out that the Indian Air Force could potentially disable most of Pakistan's nuclear delivery capability with a conventional attack. This threat will increase as India inducts more and better aircraft with high precision munitions and deploys more Prithvis. In fact, Pakistan's aircraft-borne deterrence already stands considerably eroded. It is not just a question of destroying aircraft on the ground or mid-flight and disabling runways; a determined conventional strike by superior air and missile forces of the enemy can inflict substantial damage on the command and control structure itself. Decapitation is a valid fear in the case of Pakistan's deterrent.

...the Indian Air Force could potentially disable most of Pakistan's nuclear delivery capability with a conventional attack. Yeah? With what? With the LCA -- the Latest Confusion in Aeronautics?! Pah! These guys didn't even have proper snow shoes when they were surprised by the militants in Kargil. And to talk of a pre-emptive attack now is laughable. Anyway, in a decade or two, the various pieces of India will be fighting among themselves and so this whole scenario of a pre-emptive strike will be recognized for what it is -- a fantasy. And all this before we even talk of what China will do if India launches an unprovoked attack against Pakistan. But that's another story! The last time India crossed swords with China, India got its butt handed to itself. This time it will be no different.
