The Kashmir conflict 2025.

[GulfLander]

IWT suspension leaves Pakistan, ultimately, with only one choice - attack India. Because India can now just dam the rivers and let Pakistan run dry; they don't need to attack anymore. Pakistan will have to attack any water diversion project on the Indus. That requires a substantial change in Pakistan's military doctrine; no longer defensive.

I read on twtr that the current dam on those rivers hav limited capacities, so tgey hav no choice but to still let it flow.. not sure if india plan new dams tho..

Despite the immediate kinetic conflict coming to an end, India has still suspended the Indus Water Treaty that risks cutting off Pakistan's critical water supply, and seems to have also increased its material support to terrorist groups; both religious and separatist in nature. This means it's very likely the two countries are going to have a military skirmish again soon. If it escalates further again, the risk of war is very real.

Some things I think Pakistan must focus on now following this skirmish:

1. Upgrade your air defence into a more layered, upgraded and networked system, as Indian missile strikes showed clear weaknesses and gaps. Ukraine did this somewhat well, albeit with NATO support.

2. Have a credible offensive arsenal of munitions/missiles. Hypersonic maneuverable warheads with decent range are necessary, as India possesses a capable layered IADS, including S-400.

3. Work on SEAD/DEAD mission effectiveness, assess how well you can perform this. Not sure how valid their strike capability is because the claims of S-400 neutralisation lack evidence. A large payload platform is missing.

4. Cheap but effective loitering munitions that can saturate Indian AD, go after low value targets. Pakistan could probably produce a local design similar to Iranian Shaheds.

5. Disperse aerial assets across the country, have multiple back-up runways, utilise motorway system.

6. Work on maintaining current aerial superiority, through smart inductions to maintain edge and superior training.

If anyone has other suggestions, feel free to share.

Ask China for more weapons. Now that they have been used against India then China could see it as fighting India for free diplomatically instead of supporting Pakistan.

Brahoms was effective, China should give Pakistan some equivalents to strike India with.

Pakistan operates the CM-302 on its Navy Type 045/AP ships, which is essentially the counterpart to BrahMos.

More than this though I think Pakistan should work with China on layered air defence and how to utilise it effectively. And on strike capabilities & munition.

Sir I see Mr APU on the list, so that's the reason why we don't see him in the simpsons anymore.

While it's true that Pakistan showed notable restraint during the recent escalation by not deploying its top-tier missile arsenal such as cruise or ballistic missiles the impact of even the limited use of the Fateh-series MLRS was significant. This underscores the potential damage capability Pakistan holds, even when operating well below full capacity.

One can only imagine the scale of escalation and destruction if Pakistan had opted to employ advanced systems, especially in response to India’s use of high-end weapons like the BrahMos. A full-spectrum exchange would carry consequences far beyond the immediate battlefield, drawing in wider regional and possibly global attention.

However, the current situation has exposed vulnerabilities, particularly in air defense. Pakistan must urgently reevaluate its AD infrastructure and invest in more advanced, layered systems capable of countering modern threats effectively. Strengthening these defenses is essential not just for deterrence, but for maintaining strategic balance.

NYT says pakistani attack on may 10 has been largely "thwarted". We also haven't seen any satellite before after comparison of Indian bases that shows If there was any damage.
