I do foresee border skirmishes in future.Can't predict the intensity though.With the number of incursions we keep hearing in news channel, I have a feeling, there will be a tipping point.People talk about Chinese rail infrastructure in Tibet. Well, that track is built on permafrost. One bomb and the track is useless.
They are already facing issues maintaining that track.Whatever, the perceived perceptions are... it's good we are working on our roads in the north east.It will help not just the troop movement but also make life easy for people living there to travel.So, it's a win-win for public and the military.Those who complain about Indian defence expenditure should realise that our babudom are very slow at decisions unlike china. Every purchase we are currently making or which are in pipeline should have been done long time back. When did we last buy artillery ? Yes, we are purchasing, but our defence expenditure percentage in GDP is still less.And considering the size of India, the numbers we buy in military equipment is less too. Yup, India is building up for a two front war.Raising new battalions in the north-east.Placing armoured divisions and the sukhoi's there. As a layman, I can see it.
