Well the BJP hasn’t done great on the defence front either. They started off playing musical chairs with DMs. There wasn’t a proper DM for ages and then when one settled in another was brought in which started the whole cycle again. On top of it the defence budget which was expected to be...

From whatever is available on the net and I am not talking Shukla , no way does this disengagement look like return to status quo. As usual India is in danger of loosing land. What rubbish is this that we can’t patrol till pp14 till all disengagement is completed. Just means that the Chinese can...

Nope, even when this affair started there were reports that India had built a road till PP14 and according to some that was one of the triggers . Of ours it was not black topped.

There were no options then , we are building them now. Winter would still be a problem though.

If deescalation does happen , the Chinese will be back. Have no doubt about that. If history has thought us one lesson it is that the Chinese always sneak back in . We need to be ever vigilant. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a probe before a full fledged attack in later months in...

Dint say we have to be involved in the liberation of Tibet 😊. Just mentioned that in the current state ,the only way is if China breaks up and Tibet becomes independent.

The DSDBO road is a peace time road and not a war time road. It is too close to the LAC and as mentioned can be easily interdicted by the Chinese at various points. The purpose of the road is to enable movement and supply of our posts in peace time. In times of conflict the alternate road being...

The question is whether we are giving up our own land to create a buffer or no mans land. I sure hope not. Let’s wait for all the facts to come out. Anyway no point in claiming victory or anything before a complete resolution. We have seen what the Chinese end up doing during so called dees...

Let’s get over the delusion that we are going to take Aksai Chin in the near future. It’s not going to happen. Something like that would soon turn nuclear. Only way I see that happening is the breakup of China and Tibet becoming independent. POK and Gilgit Baltistan is a different matter but...

Fat chance. There will be some token noises and after some it will be business as usual where even procurement of a pistol will take a decade or two. We only wake up when there is a crisis. If the govt uses this opportunity to increase the defence budget and streamline procurement then nothing...

I wonder if Israel or US will lend us a few AWACS. It’s going to be crucial. Our lack of no’s as far as AWACS go are a big impediment.

You forget that everything is stage managed right. 😁😁😁.

Heck we are even debating whether to ban Huawei from 5G or not. What does that say about us? I hope the govt is not using that as a bargaining chip. chinese equipment shouldn’t be allowed in critical infrastructure at any cost.

Not as a BMD system. More against cruise missiles and aircraft. India has its own BMD system under development.mwhatnis missing is defence against low flying cruise missiles. With Pakistan beginning to field them we decided to go for the S-400. Anyway the S-400 isn’t much use against ballistic...

F-22??? What have people been smoking? :rofl::rofl::rofl:. The F-22 is not in production and US law prohibits its export to even the closest allies of the US. F-35 ,maybe , someday, a few years down the line but right now the S-400 Is an impediment to it.

Everyone says that 50 Billion USD is nothing for the Chinese. In today’s COVID world it certainly is.

They can’t keep it well beyond 400 km as it will be of no use to them. Remember their S-400 does not have the 400km missile as the Chinese are not part of the MTCR. Anyway despite Russian claims, no missile is capable of bringing down fighters 400 km away. Might work against transports and AWACS...

Its just chai biscoot time till while our leadership ponders on whether to bite the bullet and throw them out or whether to throw in the towel and go give XiXi another huggie because after all their GDP is 5 times ours :doh: :cowboy:

This should have been done on day one. What are we waiting for?

No chance till the S-400 deal is on. The US is more interested in pushing the 3 4th gen teens to India. Why would the US make an exception for India when they have even kicked a NATO ally from the program because they bought the S-400.
