Re: Without economic power, Pakistani Army is Zero.
I said that Pakistan’s army is to deter invasion, but also to win a limited conflict. Pakistan’s army is supposed to ensure that war between pakistan and India, irrespective of who starts it, stays limited to a small region rather than spreading.
Kargil is a good example. Pakistani and Indian troops clashed along the LOC in Kashmir, but the deployment of Pakistani forces along the Indo-Pak border deterred India from spreading the conflict.
In 1965, India was the first country to send its troops across an international border. Not one Pakistani soldier or plane entered Indian territory until after the start of the 1965 war. The use of military forces was limited by pakistan solely to disputed territory. India initiated cross-border hostilities.
An how did Pakistan start the 1971 war? Tell me where Pakistan struck inside India in 1971 to provoke an invasion?
India attacked Pakistan in 1971.
