Neither India nor Pakistan can sustain a conventional war for more than 2 weeks, as they do not have sufficient armaments. Both sides also lack an effective defence against short-range missiles and drones. If the situation deteriorates, it can quickly lead to nuclear war as nonrational actors are present on both sides. I hope this situation does not escalate further. Please note that in a conventional war, economic costs of India would far outweigh those of Pakistan, whose economy is much smaller.

India does not have ordnance, nor the capacity to make them quickly. Due to the Ukraine war, the same is in short supply in the open market. 2 weeks is stretching it. Please note that autonomous drones, guided bombs, ESM measures, and artillery power are crucial to sustained wars now. Both countries lack strategic bombers to deliver guided bombs effectively.
