India undertaking major rejig of fighter induction to meet threats from Pak, China

[Rocky25]

Certainly not. But it is China's own interest to capture as much as Ladak and whole of Arunachal Pradesh. Chinese cold doctrine seems leaked (maybe fake), but it shows future plan to capture Andaman Nicobar Islands (after Arunachal and Burma) . Other Norther Eastern India states under Chinese radar but they seems to looking for proxy government.

All I am saying is this is game by China thru Pakistan as it will try to get both Kashmir and Arunachal in one shot.

But I have to give credit to Ajit Doval, his team sensed the sensitive part of the plans and trying to make international issue if it happens. Some other way China may face SCS countries and may loose Tibet, Xinxiang province. Other countries are just waiting for China to start something to react but with heavy combined punch .

All the game is going on in Asia but played by most of world powers. Russia support China UN but will not send its troops to save China unless US gets involved directly into this.

None of what you said is gonna happen! China is the 4th biggest nation in the world... Both Kashmir and Arunachal are not worth for them to lose some tens of thousands of soldiers or in worst case eat up some nukes! They can retaliate back heavily... but that does mean they have no losses to bear!

Indo-Sino would not be escalated beyond nuclear threshold! China has Pakistan to fight its war!

The second part surely needs neutralisation through air defence capabilities, and a far greater concentration on missile defense than is now the case. We simply cannot fight the Chinese at the airfield level, not as long as they can defeat us at the photocopying machine and the forced cheap labour fronts. That, in any case, is a separate subject.

The third part needs us to overhaul our entire philosophy of war-fighting on the western front (as distinct from the eastern and northern fronts). It is this part that is worrying. We seem to be gearing ourselves up to fight the previous war, not future wars.

I think that particular discussion was over some time ago. If it's all the same with you, may I stop holding my breath and go on with the rest of my life?

Good analysis, except the cheap shots in bold.

Yes, you are right, they are cheap shots. But are they fake shots?

"Forced cheap labor" part is for sure fake shot.

Assume, for a moment, that I accept your statement. What would I be able to do about it? It's too late to edit it. Why didn't you object earlier?

Well, I just got up, and your post attracted me. You know, Joe, I have been reading your posts since the time you had the long discussion with CardSharp about the 1962 battle, and I always have a high regard to your opinion, as you a level-headed, rational Indian member with lots of knowledge, leaps and bounds above all.

Please keep it that way.

As it happens, that post cannot be undone. So I cannot delete that remark that you objected to (correctly, I might add )
If you think I am being over the top, feel free to say so. I listen and read responses very carefully.

Nice of you to say that. Appreciate it.

I seriously fear that we are making a strategic error here.

Elaborate please, to help us understand.

It's the bee in my bonnet about multi-role aircraft. I believe that doing that is a serious error. More on my return.

China's future warfare includes capturing Myanmar and Andaman nicobar islands. Wait for one more year and you'll see the attempts made by them (certianly indirect).
