India – Pakistan Nuclear Dyad: Space for Conventional Ops

#Pakistan’s #deterrence vis a vis #India based on #nuclearblackmail broke down completely in #OpSindoor. Their notion of controlling the #escalatory matrix and use of #tacticalnuclearweapons to blunt India’s “#Cold Start’ doctrine went out of the window. Pakistan has suddenly realized that the #space for #conventional ops has widened and its nuclear capability is practically useless. Pakistan is now trying to establish a new nuclear floor on which it can stand. In the meantime there are a lot of #Pakistaninarratives in mainstream and social media about India’s irresponsible behavior. However at a fundamental level it is in #panic that India’s #fullspectrum capability including its conventional #nonnuclear capability will overwhelm Pakistan. One must watch developments as they unfold.
