The Swiss report highlights three significant shifts in regional dynamics:
• Doctrine Change: India has officially "removed the distinction" between terrorist groups and their state sponsors.
• Indus Waters Treaty: As a direct result of this operation, India placed the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance (temporary suspension) as a new form of non-kinetic pressure.
• Nuclear Redlines: The conflict demonstrated that a high-intensity conventional war can be fought between nuclear-armed states without crossing the nuclear threshold—provided one side achieves "escalation dominance" quickly.
Summary: The real outcome, according to Swiss researchers, was an Indian operational victory that successfully restored deterrence by "coercing" Pakistan into a ceasefire through superior technology and deep-strike capabilities.
