Indeed and I think it will have lasting consequences. In the past, many in the Indian media (and by extention population) saw China as being omnipotent with the Indian mil being unable to hold its own in the East but only to act reactionally. Now it has been demonstrated that the Indian military...
Yup, the element of surprise is totally gone for China and they have lost the initiative. To think they could surprise the Indian positions now is pretty absurd.
Spot on, how China resolves this conflict will have a huge effect on how China is allowed to function going foreward. If it takes this all the way to an armed conflict then the myth of China's "peaceful rise" will be shattered once and for all and BRI/OBOR will collapse, if China can show...
Right now China is far too stretched to contemplate kinetic operations in the area, they have bigger problems to their East and far too few assets in their West.
On the ground the IA is in an advantagious position, and any missile/arty strike by the PLA would be a huge escalation that would...
You have been saying that for 52 days now (and counting), still waiting for that withdrawel......
Fact is, the Indian side is preparing itself for a long stand off and has moved provisions accordingly, there is no way they are retreating.
They expected that they would simply open their mouths, issue the usual threats and India would jump out of the way.
Bullies become bullies becuase they are used to getting their own way, now that they have been stood up to their weakness is there for all to see.
Haha, 52 days now and the Chinese (along with their pathetic Pakistani cheerleaders) are still posturing and making empty threats.
I have been rather cynical about India's defence policy under Modi but this incident has given me immense confidence in him/his team, India has utterly humiliated...
Some pics of the first few Tata Motors' Safari Storme 4x4 inducted into the IA (out of 3,129 vehicles ordered under the GS800 program), which will replace the old Maruti-Suzuki Gypsy as the General Service Vehicle (via LIVEFIST).

I don't get it, this is such a flawed approach to take when assesing the quality of the final product. Yes, JICA's funding comes with certain conditions (ie sourcing certain things from Japanese OEMs only) but it doesn't ensure the final product will be "the best in the world", that is up to how...
Uh, Mumbai Metro will be touching 200km by 2035 and that's without including Navi Mumbai's metro network which itself will be >80 km. Seriously stop with the delusions.
Why just because JICA is participating does that mean it will automatically be the best in S.Asia? What kind of signalling...
Good luck to them, it's good that their capital city is getting something even tier 2 cities in India already have. BUT, claiming it will be the most advanced in the region is total nonsense- Delhi metro easily holds that spot and is one of the most advanced in the entire world, there is no...
No, no and no again. The MMRCA was NEVER a single-vendor situation, EFT was declared L2.
Gripen E won't even have IOC until 2021/2, how can it possibly be in a position to take part in trails in India? The IAF isn't interested in testing an experimental aircraft- it wants a fully matured and...
And they claim BJP is against democracy! Everytime INC is on the losing end they start playing this sh!t, the darkest days of India's democracy (the Emergency) happened under them, then we have had the BS about EVM hacking and now this.......
F*ck them and their entitled BS, they are being...
