India's military no match for China's AI-backed war machines, opines expert​





If India and China were to fight a war in the near future, India faces the prospect of losing the war within ten days. China could take Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh with a minimum loss of life, and there is very little that India could do about it, says military expert and best-selling author Pravin Sawhney.

This is because the Indian military is preparing for the wrong war, says Sawhney in his eye-opening and disquieting book, 'The Last War: How AI Will Shape India's Final Showdown With China' (Aleph), as he explains in great detail how this alarming scenario could play out.

China's war with India will be reminiscent of the 1991 Gulf War during which the US military's battle networks connecting sensors to shooters and guided munitions with support from space assets had induced shock and awe in militaries worldwide. Similarly, China's war with India will stun the world with the use of artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, multi-domain operations, imaginative war concepts, and collaboration between humans and intelligent robots, Sawhney writes.

China has been preparing for this since the 2017 Doklam crisis after which it permanently augmented its troops across the Line of Actual Control - leading to a stand-off that has continued for two years without any tangible signs of resolution.
The author argues that China's superpower status will only grow and the 'capabilities lag' between the two countries will expand. And if there is outright war, the Indian military will be no match for China's AI-backed war machines.
In such a war, traditional conventional forces will be at a huge disadvantage, nuclear weapons will have no role to play, and the valour of individual soldiers will be of no consequence.
India is honing its strengths to fight a war in the three physical domains of land, air, and the sea, whereas the PLA is working on becoming the overwhelmingly superior force in seven domains - air, land, sea (including deep-sea warfare), outer space, cyber space, the electromagnetic spectrum, and near space (aka the hypersonic domain).
The PLA's disruption technologies will overwhelm India within the first seventy-two hours of hostilities commencing, and will lead to the quick end of India's resistance, the author writes, as the primary battleground will not be on land but in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum.
'The Last War' explains why it's critical that India works to prevent such a war ever taking place.
It should avoid focusing on joint combat with the US, whose power in the region is weakening. Instead, India should seek to make peace with China and Pakistan, its main adversaries at the moment, while simultaneously working to enhance its military and technological strengths in areas that it hasn't focused its resources on. Only then will the country's borders be firmly secure, and the region's future peace and prosperity be assured, the author maintains.
Sawhney is editor of the FORCE news magazine on national security and defence since August 2003. The author of three books - "Dragon On Our Doorstep: Managing China Through Military Power" (co-authored with Ghazala Wahab), "The Defence Makeover: 10 Myths That Shape India's Image", and "Operation Parakram: The War Unfinished" - he has been visiting fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, United Kingdom and visiting scholar at the Cooperative Monitoring Center, United States.
After thirteen years of commissioned service in the Indian Army, he worked with Times of India and Indian Express - and with the UK-based Jane's International Defence Review.

Military imbalance is too big in Chinas favor and gap is widening day by day with growing Chinese economic might..... but if war really happens then it will be a bloody war with both sides loosing huge men and materials...... India will loose completely but if we find out some peaceful ways to avoid war then nothing like it.... we both should learn from Ukrain and Russia war where both sides have lost so many lives for nothing......

In An Outright War, India's Military Will Be No Match For China's AI-Backed War Machines, Facing The Prospect of Losing The War Within 10 days

The author, Mr. Pravin Sawhney also claimed -

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

China outmatch us militarily, this is true.

We outmatch Pakistan militarily, this is also true.

War is a terrible idea, this is the most true.

Pravin Sawhney has gone from being a decent analyst to a rabble rousing panic mongerer.

Of course China is stronger than us. But if anyone thinks it’s going to be just a walk in the park - well they’ll have a hell of a surprise coming.

‘Important, timely read’ — Rahul Gandhi on new book that says China will defeat India in 10 days​


Titled ‘The Last War: How AI Will Shape India’s Final Showdown with China’, the book is written by former Army officer Pravin Sawhney. It is set to be released on 10 August.​

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has endorsed a new book that says China can defeat India in 10 days in case of a conflict, and capture Arunachal Pradesh as well as Ladakh.

The book titled ‘The Last War: How AI Will Shape India’s Final Showdown with China’ is written by former Army officer Pravin Sawhney. It delves into how artificial intelligence (AI) will affect India-China conflicts in the future. The book is set to be released on 10 August.


In a blurb, on the book’s cover, Gandhi has called it “an important and timely read”.

“Agree or disagree, Pravin Sawhney’s thorough and troubling analysis of the turbulent times we live in is an important and timely read,” the Congress leader wrote.

In the advent of a war between the two nations, the book says, “China could take Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh with a minimum loss of life and there is very little India could do about it. This is because the Indian military is preparing for the wrong war.”

The author also writes that China’s war with India will be “reminiscent” of the 1991 Gulf War.

“The US military’s battle networks connecting sensors to shooters and guided munitions with support from space assets had induced shock and awe in militaries worldwide. Similarly, China’s war with India will stun the world with the use of artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, multi-domain operations, imaginative war concepts, and collaboration between humans and intelligent robots. China has been preparing for this since the 2017 Doklam crisis after which it permanently augmented its troops across the Line of Actual Control.”


The author also says in the book he had a discussion with Gandhi in the context of a China-Pakistan collusion, where the latter said that the Modi government’s obsession with Pakistan has clouded their thinking.

“Since 2014, our ruling dispensation has whittled down India’s global vision to a single paranoid point — Pakistan. Our leadership’s obsession with Pakistan has clouded their thinking and strategic judgment. Consequently, our establishment is unable to understand that the line between China and Pakistan has disappeared and we are faced with a completely new enemy,” the author quotes Gandhi as saying.

‘PM must defend the nation’​

The Congress leader has frequently questioned the Modi government, especially in the context of the Chinese PLA’s transgressions into Indian territory in Ladakh.

“India’s national security and territorial integrity is non-negotiable. A timid and docile response won’t do. PM must defend the nation,” Gandhi had responded to reports of China building a bridge over Pangong Tso lake.

Gandhi has often slammed the Prime Minister for his ‘silence’ about Chinese infiltrations. “Our national security is unpardonably compromised because GOI has no strategy and Mr 56” is scared. My thoughts are with the soldiers risking their lives to guard our borders while GOI churns out lies,” Gandhi tweeted in November last year.

Book says Indian forces unprepared for AI war

The book begins with an imaginary cyber attack from China in 2024, and follows fictional conversations between the PM, the National Security Agency and other security establishments over the matter. It calls INS Vikrant “a floating city with a manpower complement of 1,600 at 40,000 ton”, adding that it would be the biggest military disaster in Indian history.

“They penetrate the human forehead at great speed and explode. They seem to have some kind of facial recognition technology. They are only hitting the humans,” a sentence in the book, explaining the gravity of AI war, reads.

In the chapter, the author also focuses on the helplessness of Indian security and military forces which are not prepared to tackle an AI war, while China has access to the most modern AI technology.

In another chapter, raising questions on surgical strike in Uri, Sawhney wrote that the Indian Air Force (IAF) had claimed several terrorists were killed in the pre-emptive air strike, even though the IAF could not offer any footage to show the damage caused.

In the same chapter, on the Doklam issue, the author claims that China came up with the Doklam plan, started a military crisis at a place where the Indian Army would feel less confident about retching up in numbers, thereby giving an excuse to the PLA to do the same.

“Why did the Indian Army rise to the PLA’s bait so aggressively and mindlessly,” the book asks.

I'm not very jazbaati when it comes to him or any others, legit criticisms bantay hain India ki military ki.. it is our duty to do that to pressure people in charge to fix them even.

this guy is very OTT though, comes off very political hacky (probably is)

and he got thrown out the Army, dishonorable discharge something.. didn't someone mention just the other day here ? so maybe he has an axe to grind.. at any rate, probably good for us if our neighbours take his word as 'gospel truth' as a baseline to plan and plot against us. lol

low level expendable asset.. jo karna hai kro iskay saath.. :sarcastic:

all real kashmir still lies in India, you have "azad", which is basically north Punjab/Pahadi region/language/culture.. real Kashmir is still in India.

GB is amazingly beautiful but.. we should accept the current status quo and mend relations, change our official maps.. to me it makes no sense to see GB area still in our official map.. do you guys still have BD in maps of Pakistan ?

Pravin's assessment is correct that militarily India is no match to China. It never was. Good thing is that India's top political and military leadership is fully aware of this fact and hence devise it's policies, accordingly. They only made a miscalculation in 1962.
