I recently posted on the Indian Cold Start doctrine (this is the most recent and they link to the prior posts). It is an upsetting development that risks nuclear war, in my opinion. It will take much training and equipping, however, to put it into full effect.
It should not have taken me by surprise, however, given that it was discussed in Military Review back in 2004. I don't know how I missed this.
The article has a nice bibliography in the footnotes.
How India and Pakistan evolve their military doctrines to take into account their nuclear arsenals is of high interest to America for a number of reasons. Keep an eye on these two countries.
