'India cannot match China's military force': Indian Naval Chief - IBNLive
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sureesh Mehta has set off a storm by saying India cannot match China military force. Is it a warning from India's military that the government needs to hear?
"In military terms, both conventional and non-conventional, we neither have the capability nor the intention to match China force for force," said Admiral Sureesh Mehta.
For a nuclear-armed military representing the interests of a billion-plus people, the lack of confidence is quite striking. India's military leadership has made a stunning confession that New Delhi doesn't have the stomach for a fight, if push came to shove on the disputed Sino-Indian boundary.
"Whether in terms of GDP, defence spend or any other parameter, the gap between the two is too wide to bridge and is getting wider by the day," he said.
Back in 1962, China and India had similar sized economies. Today, China's economy is FOUR times larger (and growing faster), with commensurate military spending.
As your own Naval Chief said, the gap has become too wide to catch up, and it is widening more every day.
