Can Pakistan contain Indian 'shock and awe'' strategy? Can India fight two war one consistent enemy Pak-China simultaneously?

That is the million dollar question. Indian Army is now also revising its doctrine to effectively meet the challenges of a possible ''two-front war'' with China and Pakistan.

Pakistan army is practising its own swift response to counter such multiple offensive thrusts into its territory.

Indian strategy is American style Air Force based 'shock and awe'' and total dominance within 48 hours. Pakistani strategy is to blunt Indian moves and rely on Chinese offensives against India.

While the massive Indian ''Yodha Shakti'' and Pakistani ''Azm-e-Nau-III'' (New Resolve) wargames are not exactly being conducted eyeball-to-eyeball across the border, both high-voltage exercises with around 50,000 troops each have entered their final phase this week.

Though an "extremely professional" 5.2-lakh force, Pakistan army seems to be slightly rattled by the 11-lakh strong Indian Army's cold start concept. "They are trying different manoeuvres, first in the southern sector and now in the northern one, to counter the multiple thrusts India may launch in the event of a war," said a senior Indian Army officer.
