Pakistan has an very well trained military. It is one of the best in the world. Her soldiers are disciplined and have high morale. They use basically American tactics since many of their officers were trained in US military schools. They also have quite an assortment of equipment, but most of it is first or second generation and we have fifth generation equipment. That is one of the things that sets the US military apart. If they could get some more modern equipment they would be a power to reckoned with… more of a power to be reckoned with since they already are. They also have nuclear weapons and means to deliver them. That changes equations.
