You probably heard about attack which happened, and now the question remains: what follows?

India and Pakistan dont really get along. Never did. But now, they are one step away from being at war with each other, with Pakistan saying war will start in 2 days.

But this wouldnt be an ordinary war. The problems here are:
1. Both countries have large population and large armies, India having billion population
2. Both countries have nuclear weapons

Clearly, war is not in anyone's interest if we assume that nuclear weapons make such war mutual loss.

The mass use of nuclear weapons in such war would destroy plenty of land in both countries.

India has Hinduism, which is promoted as religion of peace. But now that is put to a great test as India says they will respond with attack on Pakistan. This attack could trigger a war where there would be more casualties than in both world wars. Each nuclear bomb would wipe out hundreds of thousands, some maybe even million people. In just one day of such nuclear war, it is possible that dozens of millions would die, as per military nuclear strategy, the main goal with nuclear weapons is to achieve greatest possible destruction of the other side, which could mean rush to use as much nuclear weapons as possible to possibly take out enemy's nuclear weapons.

People dont understand how serious this is or how serious it can become. If this war happens, not only will these two countries destroy each other, but nuclear spread will cover most of the region. One nuclear bomb dropped on Japan caused great destruction. Nuclear bombs of these countries are much more destructive, and if great war starts, the nuclear weapons stop acting as means to prevent war and start acting according to the quite opposite strategy: "use as much nuclear weapons as fast as possible to prevent enemy from using theirs".

Yes, "Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends carrying out military action against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours on the pretext of concocted and baseless allegations of involvement in the Pahalgam incident," Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said at a midnight news conference.

Probably, but the main problem is in the fact that these are huge countries. If they go to war, its going to be hell on Earth. War in Ukraine will look like a joke compared to this. Pakistan alone has more population than Russia and Ukraine combined.

Guess we'll see what happens when a country with nukes has nothing to lose.

Yes,  according to various sources, Pakistan possesses approximately 170 nuclear warheads as of early 2024. The development of these weapons was initiated in response to regional security concerns, particularly following the loss of East Pakistan in 1971. Pakistan is recognized as one of the states with nuclear capabilities alongside other countries like India and North Korea.

If it was non-nuclear war, yes, India would most likely win. But if nuclear weapons are used, then India would still likely win due to having much more population, but the damage to the country would be huge. We are talking about heavily populated areas on both sides. Like, 1 successful nuke would probably kill over 500.000 people in a city. With hundreds of nukes on both sides, both countries will suffer massive losses. Sure, Pakistan would suffer much more, and would probably lose quickly, but India could lose over 50 million people from just nukes. Yes, I know India has 1 billion population, and 50 million is like 5% of population. But it would be the most destructive war in history so far, and this is even when assuming no other countries get involved.
