Call me a spoilsport but I think too much time is wasted in "predicting" the gifting away of territory to Pakistan. This in fact has nothing to do with Pakistan and represents a basic mistrust of the Indian leadership, and a misunderstanding of the way government functions that manifests in statements all over the forum that something or the other is going to be given up. Yet another case of Indians being convinced that other Indians do not see India like they do but are traitors waiting to bring India down.
The worthies who are in Track-2 and the semi-official status enjoyed by them, dont inspire much confidence.

The bigger enemy is China and one way to deal with China is to cutoff its use of Pakistan as its proxy to tie down India.
With China getting more and more involved in the Northern Areas and even planning to extend the KKH upto the pakistani coast, the biggest way to counter that would to be annex Baltistan.

The exact geography and topography of the area needs to be checked to see if we can build a motorable road from kargil upto Skardu from south of Deosai plains.

The local population in Baltistan are also not too friendly to the establishment in Islamabad or more correctly Rawalpindi, and with a reasonable degree of autonomy and good infra, education and medical development, could be manageable.

Plus if would also offer India a another bargaining chip with regards to China in the form of Shaksgam valley.

In future J&K could then be split into Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh-Baltistan.
If you had been following the Kargil war at that time, our Army infrastructure at that time, the taking of our territory itself was a great achievement, we simply had no roads, infrastructure etc. to move into POK, during the 90's we did not do a good job of what the Army needs.

to keeps things short such a move would have turned a victory into disastrous misadventure.

Well you'r right about the Kargil the conflict. We were not in a position to go after them at the time. But then offcourse that again is our own mistake.

As the things stand, the old assumption that India would be comfortable converting the LoC and AGPL into the international border is not tenable anymore.

With China getting more and more involved in the Northern Areas and going to be the principle Patron state for the client Paki army, the Indian calculation for desirable solution to J&K must involve retaking of 1). Haji Pir pass and any other high ground position along the LoC, that would make it easier for us to defend the LoC. 2).Taking over baltistan to cut off the Paki-China link through the KKH.
Only the Baltistan area should be annexed and not Gilgit. The tribes in Gilgit are a lot more pro paki and war like as compared to the people in Baltistan. The aim should be to advance upto a point and occupy terrotory that would give us the right defensive positions and allow us to target the KKH, anytime we desire to do so.
That will also take of the pressure for us to maintain positions on the Saltoro ridge and rake up Shaksgam as a bargaining chip with China to settle the border problems with China.

Pakistan expanding nuclear arsenal, should India be worried?
Estimated to have more nuclear weapons than India , Pakistan is rapidly developing and expanding its atomic arsenal , spending about $2.5 billion a year to develop such weapons, a report has said.

"Pakistan has been rapidly developing and expanding its nuclear arsenal , increasing its capacity to produce plutonium, and testing and deploying a diverse array of nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles," said the report 'Assuring Destruction Forever: Nuclear Modernisation Around the World'.

"Pakistan is moving from an arsenal based wholly on HEU to greater reliance on lighter and more compact plutonium-based weapons, which is made possible by a rapid expansion in plutonium production capacity," said the 150-page report by Reaching Critical Will of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.

"Pakistan is also moving from aircraft-delivered nuclear bombs to nuclear-armed ballistic and cruise missiles and from liquid-fueled to solid-fueled medium-range missile. Pakistan also has a growing nuclear weapons research, development, and production infrastructure," it said.

According to the report Pakistan is estimated to have 90-110 nuclear weapons.

"A long-term concern now driving Pakistan's nuclear programme is the US policy of countering the rise of China by cultivating a stronger strategic relationship with India. This may tie the future of Pakistan and India's nuclear weapons to the emerging contest between the United States and China," said the report.

Pakistan has a number of short-range, medium, and longer-range road-mobile ballistic surface-to-surface missiles in various stages of development.

"It has developed a second generation of ballistic missile systems over the past five years. It is estimated that Pakistan could have a stockpile of 2750 kg of weapon-grade HEU and may be producing about 150 kg of HEU per year," it said.

Estimates suggest Pakistan has produced a total of about 140 kg of plutonium, the report said.

While not much information is available on the funding of Pakistan's nuclear weapons project, the report said estimates indicate that Pakistan spends about $2.5 billion a year on nuclear weapons.

Despite extensive foreign military assistance, Pakistan's effort to sustain its conventional and nuclear military programmes has come at increasingly great cost to the effort to meet basic human needs and improve living standards, the report said. India, the report said, is estimated to have 80-100 nuclear warheads.

"It is also developing a range of delivery vehicles, including land- and sea-based missiles, bombers, and submarines," it said.

"While nuclear weapons used to be seen as a 'necessary evil', there is no more enthusiasm for India to become a bonafide nuclear weapon power that can exercise its military might in the region," it said.

Obviously all the money received for supporting coilation forces and money earned from grabbing Al-quida targets are funneled into nuclear program and not into conventional program , the latter depends on free goodies from US or China or long term soft credit.

It would make sense for pakistan to keep in increasing its nuclear potential at the cost of conventional arms , it would provide assured detterence against India and even foreign intervention and they can carry out terrorist activity and if required bark at and bite the US.

In this photo released by Inter Services Public Relations department on Monday, April 9, 2012, a Satellite image shows the site hit by avalanche in Siachen, in northern Pakistan. Rescue workers used bulldozers Sunday to dig through huge banks of snow following a massive avalanche a day earlier that engulfed a military complex and buried at least 135 people, most of them soldiers, in a mountain battleground close to the Indian border.

PAKISTAN ASSUMES COMMAND OF COUNTER TERRORISM TASK FORCE
PAKISTAN ASSUMES COMMAND OF COUNTER TERRORISM TASK FORCE

Commander, Combined Maritime Forces Office of Public Affairs

Commodore Mukhtar Khan, Pakistan Navy, relieved Commodore Jonathan Mead, Royal Australian Navy, as Commander, Combined Task Force (CTF) 150 (counter-terrorism), during a change of command ceremony onboard PNS Badr, Mina Salman port, Bahrain, April 17.

The ceremony concluded the Royal Australian Navy's third command of CTF 150, a multi-national task force that conducts maritime security operations (MSO) in the Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Commodore Mead said: “This is the third time Australia has led CTF 150, and it is clear that we have had a powerful and far reaching effect on the maritime domain. We should not underestimate the role which CTF 150 is playing to defeat terrorist activities on the high seas.”

Commenting on the success of CTF 150, Commodore Mead highlighted the recent $5 million drug seizure by HMAS Parramatta in February and the $22 million drug seizure by HMS Westminster in April. By coordinating with the ships in CTF 150, from five different navies, as well law enforcement agencies and coast guards, more than 400 kilos of illegal narcotics was located and destroyed from both incidents.

Mead further added, “The destruction of the drugs was a victory for those who are helping to create a lawful and stable maritime environment, and a set back to terrorists who seek to finance their activities through illegal transportation of narcotics on the high seas.”

This will be the sixth time command of CTF 150 has been held by the Pakistan Navy, who have also held command of CTF 151 (counter-piracy) three times. The 25 personnel team will be based in Bahrain.

Commodore Khan responded: “It is a great honor for me to take command of such an amazing coalition force. Coalition forces are the way forward. CTF 150 is unique and necessary. It promotes common regional goals. The Pakistan Navy has taken a proactive stance to help create a lawful and stable maritime environment. Our partnership through CTF 150 is the hallmark of what a coalition stands for and what it can accomplish.”

CTF150 is a sub command of the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) and exists to create a lawful and stable maritime environment free from terrorism, smuggling and other illegal activities across an area of two million square miles, covering the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and Gulf of Oman.

Attn dhoti wearers, pls to commence shivering: Pakistan to launch missile; alert forces India to rejig flights to Gulf

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/node/116244

Days after India conducted its Agni-V test, Pakistan has informed India it too is conducting a 'long-range missile test in the Indian Ocean' anytime from April 24 to 29 (from 8.30 to 11 am IST), and asked the Indian civil aviation authorities Monday evening to issue a NOTAM (notice to airmen) to warn commercial airlines and pilots to steer clear of the area.

"The communications from Pakistan always come in the last minute, mostly just a day in advance. Airlines have to be informed immediately," sources said.

Pakistan is developing its 'Shaheen' long-range missiles that it hopes can eventually clock a range of 4,000-4,500 kms. Pakistan’s entire nuclear-capable missile arsenal is India-specific and is trying to develop long-range missiles that has strike capacity to destruct whole of India.

I see multiple motivations behind this proposed test

The first is to show "What india can do, we can do"
The second is to challenge the world with the idea that if India is not censured, why should Pakistan be censured
Third is to see if their NoKo tech works.

Also to boost their national morale and that of their armed forces that seems to get affected with every Indian missile test.

If pakistan tests a new missile like they say Shaheen-4 then it would indicate that they would wait for india to do its test and then carry on with theirs to avoid intl condemnation and to justify being equal-equal

I wont put much stock into an obvious dog-n-pony show like that. But the show aside, the Paks have indeed made some good investments and toughened up (esp those who did tours in KP) over last 10 odd years; the Chinese look ridiculously primped-out, a far cry from their simple and battleready Civil/Korean War veteran forefathers who bloodied India in 1962.

I was comparing the much vaunted F-22P class with own ships ... we don't have anything directly comparable in our inventory, as all our frigates are larger and much more heavily armed. While on other hand our corvettes and missile boats are smaller and specialized. Overall it is a well rounded ship given its price - though lacking in air defence capability.

Our P-28 class will be comparable. Talwar and Shivalik are truly in a different league.

Even the use of Mao photo is also indicator of how the idenitity of PRC is stale and also Pak has to rely on this to keep the connection together.

It is so silly that 50 year old image has to be used by them

The main reason for this 2004 ex must be that Pakistan got spooked by US and US military pressure and use of drones on Pak. TO get assurance and to get a hedge the olny friend it can rely on is PRC and PLA. It has nowhere to go in the world.

Pakistan to launch long-range missile, informs India
NEW DELHI: Just days after India successfully test fired its first Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), Agni-V, Pakistan has said that it plans to conduct a long-range missile test.

The neighbour has informed India that it plans to conduct a long-range missile test in the Indian Ocean over the next five days.

Islamabad has asked New Delhi to issue a notice to all commercial airlines to steer clear of the area.

The move by Pakistan comes just five days after India test fired Agni-V to join the elite club of ICBM nations.
As we all were expecting. A new made in china....jugad. :)
