Indian Navy deploys aircraft carrier & nuclear subs to deter ‘misadventures’ by Pakistan

At what point will it flair up into full-scale war?

Dozens of Indian warships, including an aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered submarines, left a massive maritime exercise and were deployed amid simmering tensions with Pakistan, the Navy has confirmed.

INS ‘Vikramaditya,’ a Russian-built aircraft carrier, and a number of nuclear submarines have set sail along with other vessels and aircraft, according to a statement by the Indian military. The move is intended “to prevent, deter and defeat any misadventure by Pakistan in the maritime domain.”

Most of the warships were part of TROPEX 2019, India’s largest war games involving the Navy, Air Force and Army. As tensions mounted between India and Pakistan, they were “swiftly transited from exercise to operational deployment mode,” the military said.

So I guess we get to modify Bismarck's warning into "Some Damn fool thing in Southeast Asia"

The biggest worry about a conflict there is that it could result in a limited nuclear exchange. Their command and control isn't up to the level of the US, Russia, China, etc, and a mistaken ID of a nuke strike could result in a retaliatory strike.
