and it will end with nukes
Amid this volatile backdrop, a 2019 research paper published by Routledge is drawing renewed attention. The study eerily predicted a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan in the year 2025, sparked by a high-casualty terror attack.
According to the study, once Indian forces begin advancing into Pakistani territory, Pakistan’s generals, fearing a conventional defeat, resort to nuclear weapons. Here's what the paper had predicted:
Day 1: Pakistan uses 10 tactical nuclear weapons (each with a yield of 5 kilotons) within its own borders against Indian tanks.
Day 2: Pakistan launches 15 more tactical nukes. In response, India uses 20 strategic nuclear airbursts targeting Pakistani military installations and nuclear depots.
They "predicted" it down to the month.
