The military strategists of the Pakistan Military regarded this war game as a threatening exhibition of overwhelming conventional force, and the most critical moment in India–Pakistan relations. Pakistani military strategists even viewed this war game as reprisal of nuclear war. The security information website "Global Security.org" characterized Operation Brasstacks as "bigger than any NATO exercise – and the biggest since World War II". Even today, Pakistan military analysts and strategists regard this as a "blitzkrieg-like" integrated deep offensive strategy to infiltrate into dense areas of Central Pakistan, on the other hand, India maintained that " core objective of Operation Brasstacks was to test new concepts of mechanization, mobility, and air support devised by Indian army."
