How India and Pakistan’s Military, Nuclear Arsenals Stack Up

As tensions build between India and Pakistan over last week’s deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir, the focus is now turning to whether military conflict is a likelihood between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

Though officials don’t expect the South Asian countries to launch a larger-scale offensive, partly because of Kashmir’s difficult mountainous terrain, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is under pressure to retaliate. Last Tuesday, gunmen killed dozens of civilians in the part of Kashmir controlled by India, the bloodiest attack in the region in years.
