and who told you so!our OFB is manufacturing around 90K INSAS at present,so in case of a war its quite safe to assume that it can manufacture at least over a million assault rifles a year and regarding bullets well nowadays our OFB s manufacturing bullets of literally all calibres like 5.56mm,7.62mm,12.7mm etc!so in the event of a long drawn war with China our forces won't be exhausted as the OFB will continue to supply them with bullets and guns!and although INSAS may not be a world class AR but still at the end of the day its a decent AR and can be used to a deadly effect by our soldiers.in a word, India has no chance to win a long term war against china,because its military indsutry can not arm its troops in a long term war.
now lets come to the human resource available to us.India has got a reserve force of around a million men at any given time because of the NCC.each year NCC(National Cadet Corp) trains at least 2,00,000 men and women.so they'll be our reserve force at the time of the war.
now lets talk about missiles and SAM.we are manufacturing our own SAM Akash for the last couple of years,so in case of a war we won't be depending on foreign help in this matter.same goes with the missiles as India is indigenously manufacturing both the BRAHMOS cruise missile and the BARAK SAM.
next comes the Tanks.well OFB is quite capable to produce at least 50 Arjun MK-1 each year which can be increased to a couple of hundreds in the case of a full fledged war.
the last thing is that OFB has 39 factories under it and all of them are scattered throughout our territories and most of them are in the Southern part of India.so in case of a war even if the PLAAF manages to bomb a few of them whch are situated in N.India it won't be a major problem for us!
now comes the most important question,in case of a full fledged war is PLAN capable enough to defend the sea trading route of china in the IOR which incidentally passes very near to our Andaman & Nicobar islands because afaik currently nobody has the capability to challenge the superiority of the Indian Navy in the IOR(other than U.S.N. of course)?
