India continues to buy and buy and buy, but if we compare the average Indian soldier with the average Chinese soldier, it's laughable and not in the same league, you know that.
Actually if i compare the average Indian soldier with the average Chinese soldier, i can comprehensively say that the Indian soldier is far better soldier.
Chinese training standards, doctrines, etc are known. Do a little research. Indian and Pakistani Armies FAR outclass Chinese Army from training to doctrine-the whole shebang.
I also am amused when you say that you think that India can hold both China and Pakistan simultaneously, and you're telling me i'm not qualified to comment or you refer to fanboys on the internet?
Your comment sounds more like that of an Indian fanboy then that of a neutral observer of a possible future conflict between these two nations.
Allow me to elaborate. With 45 sqdrn strength(IAF says this, not me) there will be adequate resources for both fronts.
I wonder, how professional and prepared is the IAF to counter both PAF and PLAAF? Especially now when the PAF is also acquiring more modern 4.5th generation fighters like the J10 to counter the Indian air dominance fighters?
As opposed to IAF-which is what? According to you-sitting on their a$$es?
How on earth can you actually think of holding both off? Dreams are there for a reason.
If you truly think in a full scale war, compare China's and India's economy and domestic production and organization, how long would it take for India to economically break or forfeit? Or would China be the first to give up?
Actually, it appears that you dont have any idea. You dream or rather wish that India would not be able to go toe to toe with China. You are however quite wrong. There are areas where India lacks and areas in which China lacks.
Both the countries have sufficiently large economies and war reserves to last for a while. The war will be limited, both the economies are very big. I dont think you even need to delve into this.
Honestly, it's not even proven yet that India's anti missile and so called anti satellite systems will even deliver the promises, it has yet to be seen and tested when a real conflict breaks out, and when that happens, it won't be a testing phase but rather the real deal.
Are we even talking about India's ABM systems? I said the decision makers have seen the eventuality and have started preparing for it. And rest assured, if not the ABM's, then India's BM's are quite credible. And India is continuing to develop BM's just for China.
The odds are completely not in your favor, be it a full scale war, China will endure because of it's size and it's bigger economy, it yields greater influence, it can attack by Land, by Air, even by Sea, it can use Pakistani waters to gain acces,
China will endure? IF that was the case, then India would have comprehensively won all the wars against Pakistan. Thats not how things work. That would have been true had India's economy been small. Since both are sufficiently big, and both have war reserves-it doesnt matter much. You seem to put a lot of faith in this aspect.
And secondly, China can attack "even by Sea"? What does that mean? Ofcourse they would use their Navy. That doesnt mean they would succeed. In IOR, IN cannot be matched by them. Logistics, Air Cover, Carriers, loads of things against PLAN. Secondly, they can use "Pakistani waters to gain access"? What the HELL are you talking about. To get to Pakistani waters, they would have to traverse all the way from the Straits of Malacca. Need i remind you of the distance, etc, etc from South China Sea to IO? The resupply time?
As regards to the Army and Airforce, visit other threads to find out more information. Or better yet-goto the experts on other forums. Im sure they would be more than willing to tell you a couple of things or two.
basically, India will have one hell of a time fending off China by itself, and I wonder how many losses it will have suffered both economically and militarily before the war ends.
Now this is all speculation, but things don't really look bright for you, and I know your country is supposed to be the "next big thing" and all with a booming Indian economy, but right now, China does have the upper hand, in all fields, and we'll see how things will be in the future, but don't expect too much especially with Pakistan as your neighbour.
Bah! Is this your technical argument? or rhetoric?
Maybe a suggestion for your political leadership to loosen up things and approach it's bordering nations with more care and respect instead of showing symptoms of imperialism or warmongering.
One advice-keep all adivce's to yourself!
