The objective was to take back Kuwait

and even then, you cannot fault the US and Allied forces, when you have the enemy hiding amongst the Civillians

Insegents that pretend to be civilians makes it hard to asses who is a combatant and every single war ever has had civilian deaths

two different wars

PG was kuwait response

Then because of quite frankly, bogus, rules of engagement, you have soldiers that are more on edge(and not in the vigilant good kind of way) because they're worried about a civilian walking up to and setting off a suicide bomb amongst them

Oh yeah rules of engagement are trash

"If the enemy pilot has mass, do not shoot the plane."

I didn't see the thing above my comments I agree wit u

India shoulda went full Ronald Reagan on China or something

They have the money

yes

If I were them I would do it

i cant wait for china to get vibe checked

Nah it ain't happening

Unless they really think they can win against them

India doesn't have the numbers to win a long war of attrition against China

but they have the skill and experience

but the qwad dose

If I'm Modi I would buy that new assault ship from Russia and the supercarrier design

au usa ind and jp

And buy Sprut SD+a stealth fighter

And probably some Armatas or Abrams or T90s depending on cost

Maybe buy a surplus Arleigh Burke

And buy the Slava-class cruiser "Ukrayina"

And the Zircon ofc

I'd go with more Abrams since they're very nice tanks

I guess

quiet, survivable, and still used by the US

The newer one then

The m1a2c 3rd gen advanced tank

now that i think about it, Merkavas are probably better if you want a tank that favors Survivability above all else

Ach indeed

Maybe I would buy the older Ticos

It's good for naval air defence

And borrow a Yasen-class SSGN

That would be what India needs against the Chinese behemoth

im debating someone and theyre saying infantry is obsolete now because of "hurr durr drone strikes"
any thoughts

Drones don’t do shit if an EMP hits

That and SAMs exist

Infantry are mostly resistant against emps except for most electrical devices, and infantry can disable SAMs
