The two countries fought from two wars from the independence against Kashmir – and three total – and picturesque Himalayan Valley again at the center of their meeting. They are already probably the most endangered militarized area in the world, with hundreds of thousands of troops and paramilitary forces deployed to maintain safety in Kashmir who are at the best time.
But taken together, Indian and Pakistani armies have a total of about 2 million staff of the armed forces. This means that everything will go out the conflict one of the largest number of fighters since the end of World War II.
Here’s how two soldiers are compared to each other
The Indian army is the fourth by Think Tank Global Fiery Power of 145 nations, while Pakistan is full of 12. place 2024. years. In addition, India drops to a higher level of military power from Pakistan, according to the military journal.
India has one of the largest permanent armies on a global scale, with over 1.47 million troops of active duties.
India has 1.4 million active staff in their defense forces – 1,237,000 in the army, 75,500 in the Navy, 149,900 in the Aviation, and 13,350 in the coast. Pakistan Power is thinner, with less than 700,000 staff, 560,000 in the army, 70,000 in aviation, and 30,000 in the Navy, according to the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London.
Think Tank with the seat in London says that Pakistan Defense consumption was tithing neighbors last year.
In 2024, India spent about 86 billion dollars last year, which became the second largest military spade in Asia after China and the sixth global.
On military resources, ammunition and battle vehicles, India has another edge of Pakistan with nearly double number of tanks than Pakistan has.

“With 170 nuclear warnings on the number and medium and middle range, Pakistan already has enough nuclear power to distract the nuclear attack from India and deleted a large part of the subcontinent,” Arms Control Association.
Pakistan continues “to produce fission material and retains the possibility of using nuclear weapons first against non-nuclear military threats,” he said.
Military experts in Pakistan claimed that their smaller armed forces had already proved their abilities by lowering Indian warriors – including France Rafale – in the latest cross-border escalation. Indian authorities did not issue a statement that match the receivables of Pakistan Downing India Rafale jelaznice. Independent He went out to the office of Minister Defense Rhinth Singh on comment.

According to experts, while India is visibly battle armed and can afford a longer conflict, the war with Pakistan is not going well for their vulnerabilities against China.
“Both states can afford a short, limited conflict, but it cannot afford, a high-intensity conflict,” India would say, “said Christopher Clary at the Department of Political Sciences at the University of Albany.
The current conflict of high tension, he said, relates more to “bluster and posture” than the actual drawn war.
“Here can be declared a political victory at home, not meaningfully degrading the opponent’s military abilities. This conflict is more in line with war fighting – although in small pockets and short periods,” he says Independent.
“Governments are in work saying they are preparing even when they are unprepared,” Clary says.
“Indian forces are in a double size of Pakistan forces … that there was war, India will win,” says the celestial security analyst and the defense of Michael Clarke.
