being in china i assume you know better
All talk.You don't have a single ship worth the name in either port and are talking about dozen submarines and 10 destroyers there.Maybe in 15-20 years .By that time our economy will be enough for an enormous budget of our own.There is absolutely nothing you can do around andaman,if you try it will be a massacre and you know it.You will be attacked from land,air ,sea surface and underwater in that scenario.Keep dreaming about some distant future,right now you are helpless in IOR before us.
Russia needs money above all,and any intimacy we have with USA regards only in dealing with china.We have always been respectful of russian national interests and thus along with china abstained from condemning russian annexation of crimea.
We have no need of USA to save us.USA is bonus burn for you.We can crash your economy right now in IOR with blockade and there is nothing you could do about it.1 useless cbg,a few noisy ssns and 12-13 yuans on a one way trip.Thats all you got.We have no fear of your surface fleet.We have hundreds of brahmos on our ships,exocets and klubs on our subs and harpoons and brahmos from the air.Andaman is our unsinkable carrier.No fleet can survive against total enemy air superiority as well as being attacked in 3 dimensions .
You can assume what you want but the reality is even without a permanent base, 14 Chinese naval vessels are already prowling the IOR. 10 years ago, Indians wouldn't even fathom such a proposition. Check out Chinese naval production rates for 2016 before jumping to conclusions. Well, to me Andaman can be captured, what makes you think China cannot mount an attack there with our CBG? It's not exactly near mainland India bro.
Look at the location of Gwadar and Djibouti, it's a pincer to Indian mideast supplies, before you can attack Chinese ships, we can already toast some Indian tankers. Do you have any other backup energy lane other than the Persian gulf? China has energy supply lanes in the north from Russia and Central Asia. Mideast energy sealane is India's lifeline and Gwadar and Djibouti is a pincer to those lines.
You are assuming India will grow economically, you are yet to see your 'demographic dividend' bro. If my predictions are not wrong, you will see major unrest in the future, hell you are already having major unrest nowadays, hartals, riots are so common in India. If it were to happen in China, it will be on CNN headlines.
Russia had been milking India for god knows how long, and now they are beginning to worry about the reliability of the Indians. You think they are not observing Indian actions with US, it is only pushing them closer to China.
Hardpower can be in the form of conventional weapons.The only things China respects is hard power
