Any suggestions? Am unsure of what SAMs the Chinese have other than Sa-2s back in that time period

Right. PLA had a large number of HQ-2/ SA-2 back then. Vietcongs iwere successful in using this SAM though Saddam’s army took bribe and did not use them as such. However, most simulations done in the past suggests that we would have failed defending the sites. You have overlooked Soviet military stationed in Afghanistan at that time.

Sa-2 do suck, I do not think there would be a major impact unless you manage to put right on Srinagar lmao.

How many do you think the Chinese would give Pakistan, realistically.

They were in fact made available right after the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan. So at least 12 batteries.

The Soviets were more interested to see the Indo-Pak war than the Indians. They wanted us to move our focus from the Afghan operation. Soviets even lied to Indians about the Khalistan army to provoke an Indian attack on us. Operation Blue Star was a false flag operationbin reality and many innocents were killed.

Ngl, I am going to have to figure out the positioning of the Pakistani Armed Forces and Indian Armed Forces.

It is easier to do this for info post-2017, before that, it was a bit harder, so I need help with that, given that naturally, India had to worry about the PRC and Pakistan had to worry about the USSR.

PRC would never directly intervene for any country except DPRK unless mainland China is attacked. Be clear about that. PRC will never directly assist us in operation. But Soviet used to bomb our border posts and sent sabotage bombers to our cities time to time. We were also directly and physically taking part inside Afghanistan against the Soviets.

Hence, do you have any sources I could use for positioning during the 1980s, for both nations of India and Pakistan.

I have to give you something which is cleared for the public domain and not classified. Let me look and you can also search for the Indian ORBAT at that time as Indians usually love to show off while not caring much about information security.
