So you still think Chinese supply caravan is in same shape as it was in 1962?Ridiculous to think that way isn't it?
I still think that the region is just as mountainous as it was in 1962.
Yes Nuisance,and in times of war if they are supplied well by the Chinese,they can become a "very irritating nuisance".
And how will China supply NE rebels with enough quantity of arms when concentration of IA would increase manyfold and will be particularly training their guns at the Chinese border.
Firstly,your pathetic attempt at humour that China is next to Allah,was in very bad taste.Jeta ke bole bikrito ruchi.
I hope you reconsider that.
If I had said, next to God it would have been hunky-dory I guess.
sheta tokhon shuruchikor hoto, tai na?
Regarding use of adjectives,I termed both countries as Giants,why didn't you ridicule that too?Ah yes,because it makes India sound very important,how can you ridicule it,right?
Wasnt responding to that post, was I?
Between Bangladesh and Nepal or between Bangladesh and Bhutan.That's not more than 40km,as far as I know.And that is mostly plain land,not mountainous.I said capturing that within hours.I did not say the entire operation would take hours.You can go back and check instead of distorting.
And are you into the belief that Chinese or any other opposition will only attack only in one straight formation?
Does the idea of Flanking ring any bells?
Do they need to sweep entire NE first to choke those points,as you are claiming?
You are distorting my words over and over again.I said the attack would be first targetted on the Chicken neck to block off reinforcement from rest of India.And other wings will perhaps simultaneously attack the defence establishments in rest of NE.
This has completely different meaning than what you wrote there.
Don't distort my words to your advantage.
How would the Chinese reach that area in the first place? Either through Bhutan or Nepal or, through Arunachal Pradesh. If it is through Nepal or Bhutan, the Chinese would loose the element of surprise and valuable time. Forget the international repercussion for attacking such nations. If it is through AP, then they will have to sweep AP before they can cut off your favorite chicken neck. I hope you are not suggesting paradrop.
Also calculate, how much distance that translates into from the nearest Chinese border. Here is an image to make things clear.
Red is probable Chinese movement to your proposed chicken neck, marked in Black.
How many assets can India afford to remove from the Western frontier?It is important to know because a Sino-Indo war will see Pakistani troops massing on the indo-Pak border.
Now you have brought in another variable. IA/IAF follow the strategy of offensive in the West, defensive in North East. Our entire military apparatus is tuned in that way.
Also keep in mind Chinese defence expenditure in 3 times that of India's.
China is larger than India and needs to defend from even better enemies, qualitatively speaking.
Bad infrastructure slows down speed of advance,but it also slows down speed of reinforcement,In case your first line of defence is broken.
Now exactly how do you plan to Choke the Chinese?How do you know they have not planned any countermeasure for that bad infrastructure.May be another route or whatever.Please elaborate,since I am having to plan the entire Indian invasion for the Chinese.That too in a Hypothetical discussion.
The idea was to fall back below AP and regroup while the Chinese negotiated their advance. It was purely a defensive strategy and is on its way out.
Achieving air superiority can also be done through destroying Air fields and aircrafts on the ground using cruise missiles.Now you got to give that to the Chinese,they got better and more missiles in their arsenal.
Since my Hypothesis is based on China attacking first,then simultaneous cruise missile attacks on NE air bases,followed by air strikes can very well do the job of reducing IAF capability.It has the surprise element too.
Likely scenario. Only one loophole. The cruise missiles would have to pop up above the Mountains to reach IAF bases, increasing their probability of detection and hence interception. With AWACS in the region, it is hardly a full proof plan.
When Blitzkrieg happened,Germany did it for the first time when no other country has ever done before.Were they ineffective?
You Know the Maginot line,it was supposed to be impenetrable or that sort.
You know the answer.
BTW German army at that time still used horse carts for supply,I just hope Chinese have a better mode of transport.
Why do you think the Germans lost to the Russians.
Did I say Bangladesh will cut off Indian chicken neck and NE India?Now that is ridiculous.
When some Indian general say they can take care of China and Pakistan simultaneously within days,that is ridiculous.Or are you an ardent believer of that theory?
No Indian general said such. What was said had a different connotation. You are welcome to interpret it in any way.
China can cut off India's Chicken neck,and that's not absurd.Its a possibility and we are talking about possibility.You don't even want to believe that because your Ultra nationalistic mind is not allowing you to.
Yes it is absurd. Unless Sikkim is taken, there is no threat to the chicken neck. And no my ultra nationalistic mind has nothing to do with it.
