Antony says India will match Chinese military infra buildup

[Ray]

More troops on the border, will make it difficult for China to do paytrabaji and so it will cause them problems.

But then without 'hollow war cries', how can they boost their morale?

"In an era when precision-guided weapons are developing rapidly, everyone with common sense knows that concentrated troops could be eliminated easily", it said

Like our foot soldiers carry no defense at all against these precision guided weapons! They still have no shoes & fight with swords!

I'm sorry. But People's Daily writes like any half literate, poor english speaking internet poster. The entire article exhibits arrogance & a tone of knowing future in advance. If this is official mouthpiece of Chinese military, I can not imagine any more dumb bs spread across mainland by CCP.

GOI needs to domestically project Chinese threats to secure military funding?? They are not even using allocated funds!!

All the while I used disesteem chinese internet warriors based on their quality of analysis, but I'm corrected now. Its not their fault. The impression that leaves with me is that everyone behind the wall are pudding heads. If I'm wrong then maybe wise chinamen are not allowed to write. It has to be either one of the case.

1. There is no air-force in the world undertook Op like Safad sagar till date..

2. As words says they have no clue..

3. Even PLA doctrine is awkward, as it seems they completely excluded IAF presence & AD..



PGMS ( Laser/TV guided and cruise missiles ) have limitation in these terrains..

Further IAF is only Airforce in the Asian countries who used PGM in real Op extensively..

India's increasing troop may go nowhere

India plans to recruit 100,000 soldiers over the next five years and send them to the China-India border areas to cement its military strength there, according to a report by the Times of India on Nov. 2. India's defense ministry has already approved a 13 billion-U.S. dollar military modernization plan.

The average growth rate of India's military spending has stood at 7 percent to 8 percent for more than a decade, and its military spending ranks ninth in the world. India is also the world's largest arms imports country. The spread of the "China threat" theory, the increase of troops to the disputed areas near the China-India border, and the display of a tough attitude toward China all aim to make a breakthrough in further increasing military spending.


Despite India's huge military spending, its economic growth has recently been slow, with last year's economic growth rate hitting a six-year low. It is very difficult to considerably increase military spending for military buildup amid the economic downturn, so India needs to first create a tense atmosphere and transfer domestic problems in hopes of securing more military spending.

India has continued to hold joint military drills with China's neighboring countries over a recent period, showing it evidently intends to contain China. Furthermore, India's move to send an additional 100,000 soldiers to the China-India border areas is consistent with its earlier actions aimed at containing China.

In addition, the United States needs to rely on India to restrict China. India needs to show its value to the United States by flexing its muscle toward China so that it could gain U.S. military support and help raise its international status. India's troop increase on the border between China and India is aimed at meeting the requirements of the United States and then getting support from the United States. However, will India realize its goal?

First, the action will tense the situation of the region and harm India's own interests. Increasing troops on the border area is always a sensitive move and it is especially sensitive to increase troops on a disputed border area.

Second, the action is completely not worthwhile. Currently, India has 40,000 troops in the disputed area, and if the further 100,000 is deployed, the total number of the troops will reach 140,000. In an era when precision-guided weapons are developing rapidly, everyone with common sense knows that concentrated troops could be eliminated easily. Meanwhile, 13 billion U.S. dollars is really a lot of money for India, and it is still unpredictable whether the future cost of maintenance will be guaranteed.

What a retarded article !

India's increasing troop may go nowhere

Hmmm - let's see - India's growth rate has been slow recently? India's GDP has grown at rate of 9% even in 2009-2010 - actually it is China's economic growth that has "slowed down" - in-spite of cooking the books done by Chinese govt.


India's defense outlay does not need "external threat" to be allocated r increased - the allocation and increase etc are done through MoD's budgetary allocation, which comes during India's annual budget planning - which cannot be changed just because the government drums up a foreign threat. India's budget planning is a complex process - so complex that those who do it do not understand ...

$13 billion seems a lot to China? Their own defense budget is close to $100 billion - and they are not even buying stuff from outside (rather stealing them). In which case most of their defense outlay is in Chinese currency, which means PPP plays a far greater role than for India (since India still imports most of the expensive stuff). So, their $100 Billion is more like $300 Billion in PPP terms - making their defense budget about 1/3rd the size of the USA and about 10 times the size of India. And they are bothered about India's $13 Billion plan?

As for massing of troops in border areas - this is Arunachal and Himachal we are talking about right? Areas filled with high mountains, deep valleys, bukers, fortifications - what does China think this is? An open field where Indian soldiers are lining up for latrine duty? And what kind of PGM are they going to use that can kill of 140,000 soldiers easily? short of a BIG nuke, no single strike will do this. As far as I know, China will NOT use nukes on Indian soldiers in Indian soil just because they are being deployed at the borders. In return India might send a few nukes over to Shanghai and Beijing and no one will object much - second strike blah blah blah.

Now, as to why really did they right this garbage and publish it? I think it is to scare their own people and paint India as a mindless aggressor - that way they can justify their own humongous defense budget to their population.

what is PGM??

Precision guided munition..

what is PGM??

Here is a nice article that would be helpful in understanding the PGM, its history, evolution etc

PRECISION GUIDED MUNITIONS AND THE NEW ERA OF WARFARE

Precision Guided Munitions

The Preface goes as:

Introduction

Undoubtedly, one of the most important developments in the history of twentieth century warfare has been the emergence of the precision weapon: the weapon which can be aimed and directed against a single target, relying on external guidance or its own guidance system.

1 Launched from aircraft, ships, submarines, and land vehicles, or even by individual soldiers on the ground, the precision weapon exemplifies the principle of the low-cost threat that forces a high-cost and complicated defence. Actually, efforts to develop practical precision guided weapons date to the First World War, though at that time the vision of advocates for such systems far exceeded the actual technological and scientific capability needed to bring them to fruition.

2 But such weapons did appear in the Second World War, in rudimentary though significant form, and it was that experience, and the experience of successor conflicts such as Korea and Vietnam, that gave to us the generation of weapons that now are incorporated in the arsenals of many nations.

Two notable development efforts designed to produce acceptable accuracies in bad-weather conditions are the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), and the Joint Stand- Off Weapon (JSOW), both of which employ Global Positioning System satellite navigation terminal guidance as their primary means of achieving precision. Both JDAM and JSOW will generate their own families of precision munitions, with widely varying warhead and mission options (ranging from penetrating hard targets to dispensing submunitions in anti-armour attacks) and JSOW even offers a powered variant that renders it, in effect, a small cruise missile.

I feel there is something wrong...which our agencies have anticipated. Though nothing has been disclosed but some efforts have been made to strengthen the security in N-E especially. There were incidents of Chinese incursion and other issues like presence ofChinese troops in PoK....is anyone feeling the same?

There are only a few border regiments stationed along the Sino-India border. Yet our friends are already in great fits and are worked up as if a war is gonna break out tomorrow.

This is great. This is how you tie down your "friends" and wear them off.

China is raising her strategic oil reserves from 30 days to 100 days and that will give her a greater sustenance to wage war!

I have been thinking about India national policy about building oil reserves as well. Is there any blue print in place to start a project on the same scale as other major powers already have in place?

But we are following our doctrines and you are following your doctrines.

So, if we follow our doctrines, why is China having great fits themselves?

Tricky one.

There is strategic reserves, but China having been seized with a great fit is seeing Banquo's Ghost everywhere and stocking up as if there is no tomorrow!

Time will tell who is being worn off. Do not be overconfident, you have to deal with all the countries in SCS plus more. The world knows about your designs on territories of your neighbours. If and when push comes to shove, we will go for all the disputed territories on both East and West borders and remove the name of one country from world map once for all and than free Tibet and kick out all non Tibetans from their territory.

 

[SADAKHUSH]

India will do what is required to meet its defence needs. We will put our nations interest first and foremost.
