Gotta go India in the dog fight. They’re bigger, richer, and they hate less than the islamos.

This is the scenario that seems to always precipitate a strategic exchange in war gaming. Kooks with Nukes.

Several skirmishes over the years while both have nukes. Too smart to use them.
Fair fight. Let them go at it. Both are overpopulated.

“Pakistan has also shot down two Indian Jets, according to local reports. Security officials are said to have confirmed the claim.”
Russian (Su30 or Mig 29) or locally produced Indian jets?:

War is infectious. War in one part of the world tends to spread to others.

Isn't "government lingo" fascinating?

---- "...attack was 'focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature'...."

Attacks are non-escalatory? One may be assured a lot of non-escalation will be seen in the coming days.

Not a question of smarts. It’s fear. Nukes hold each other’s cities hostage. They might fight a conventional war, but neither will use nukes. If you have a gun to the heads of your neighbor’s kin, and vice versa, neither of you will be shooting each other’s kin anytime soon, short of seeing the other guy shoot your kin.

Except I haven’t found credible evidence of the claims. Of course, India denies the shoot-downs, so they wouldn’t be a credible source. But supposedly the IAF jets launched their missiles from within Indian airspace -

Pakistan has a lot of U.S. war toys to play with, thanks to decades of being our cold war “ally,” before they weren’t

There are some differences in atomic weaponry strategy between the two. Heaven forbid if nukes get used this time, it will be closely studied on the effects and results of their use.

Yep, the Lingo is great fun!

India Focused on greasing the bombs and missiles with first quality Pig Lard, Measured the hang time the terrorists remained airborne, and no Escalators were used, they just "Stepped" up the explosives to get to the next level.

Apparently, India has been reading Western Media Style Books more than the Pakistanis.
