Assessment of the Chinese air threat to India in 2000

[Joe Shearer]

Figures if rank amateurs can spot the problem the army must have done something about it. But yeah you're right I wasn't think about an invasion by the narrow land route but air interdiction and attacks on infrastructure, though as you say the North east is probably is self-sufficient in equipment and materiale.

.......a process far from complete. It is a work-in-progress.

While it is true that in the present economic scenario it does make sense for India & China to go to war with each other there are reports of Chinese nibbling away at the borders taht have to be taken seriously (remember Hindi-Chini bhai bhai). I do not mean to offend any Chinese personally but in terms of strategic thinking we have to sleep with one eye open when it comes to the Chinese border.

With respect, while I am no apologist for the PRC, or for the PLA, I need to ask about this nibbling away at the borders. It has already been clarified by our COAS what is going on at the borders, at points where the location of the boundary is disputed. If you have any misgivings about his statement, it would help if you made clear what element in it makes you sceptical. If you have not seen it, it might help to view the situation on the boundaries in the light of his assessment.

Where the hell does all this misinformation come from? Christ...
