    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    Sometimes I wonder if the news media circus in India has been engineered by China to keep people distracted as they invade India; and not lose any Chinese product sales by keeping people distracted.

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    I don't think the MEA/politicians should have any say in how India is defended. They have zero field experience, and are too intimidated by China. The Chinese negotiations allowed Chinese soldiers to come right up to their claim lines, and the Indian soldiers were not even allowed to use...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese government has compromising information (that can be used for blackmail) on certain Indian government officials who have stayed in China for long periods of time. In that way, the Chinese government operates similarly to the Russian government.

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    This is how India beats China. Chinese putting 10,000 troops at Depsang, 10,000 troops at Pangong Tso, etc. is great for posturing and trying to intimidate the enemy, but it's not how wars are won. If instead of concentrating on just the borders, India blows up the roads, bridges and other...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    The Chinese government doesn't yet understand that they are playing with fire, and have underestimated the willpower of the Indian people. The simple fact is that you cannot stop 1.35 billion people with a few hundred thousand troops when those people get united behind a cause. That's the real...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    Chinese are all about posturing and grabbing territory without fighting, which is why they back off as soon as the shooting starts. At the right time, a shooting war can be used to push the Chinese off all Indian territory and destroy all of their roads, bridges and bases.

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    There is usually a delay in getting the facts from these border areas, plus I don't trust Chinese propaganda at all. Shiv Aroor doesn't mess around; if he says India has Black Top, I would take his word over the Chinese propaganda machine any day.

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    Those interceptions are more like political statements, and don't make up for piss poor training. IAF has been training for this moment for years. For example, they know how to shoot down stealth aircraft by using their radars in hunter-killer cooperative mode.

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    It's not just the number of aircraft, it's how you use them, and PLAAF training is crap. PLAAF fly far fewer hours and have never trained for the kind of complex strike and air combat missions that the IAF trains for regularly. Plus their exposure is limited, while IAF has been training...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    This is why I was saying earlier, Indian Army needs to stop acting like Prithviraj Chauhan. When Indian Army captures PLA soldiers, why do they return them rightaway? Hold on to them as POWs, especially senior PLA officers, like at Galwan. Let the PLA sweat a little after their senior guys...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    Are you kidding? The bulk of PLA equipment is reverse-engineered from Russian equipment without any royalty payments, whether it's flanker variants or SAMs. It's bald-faced theft. That is why Russia always sells downgraded "export" versions to China, because it knows China will copy it...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    The Chinese bought the S-400 to copy it. The Russians know this also, but they sold it to China regardless, because the algorithms behind the Chinese version are downgraded export versions. Because of Russia's special relationship with India, it will give the algorithms of Chinese S-400 to...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    You're talking about frequency hopping, while I'm talking about wide-band barrage jamming where all frequencies are affected. This will greatly reduce the effective range of all radars, regardless of AESA frequency hopping. Also, once the missile is using its own radar, which is much smaller...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    It doesn't compromise Russia's security at all because the export versions of all Russian weapons are downgraded versions and operate differently using different algorithms. All weapons exporters do this, and I am sure India will too, when the time comes. Also, you can learn a lot about a...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    Again, there is no need for kill switch. A wide-band jammer jams all frequencies simultaneously when operating in barrage-jamming mode. This reduces the ranges of all radars operating in those frequency bands. That is what I have been trying to explain. Of course if Russia were to give India...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    The F-35 is entirely unsuited for the Himalayas, as its wing-loading is too high. Also the export variant of the F-35 has an order of magnitude worse stealth than the one the US Air Force operates: Several Sq. Ft vs the marble-sized RCS of the US Air Force F-35, and even that is only in X-band...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    The SU-35's Irbis radar is based on the N011M technology which was co-developed with Russians for the SU-30MKI, so India already knows how it works. Again, you don't need a kill-switch for either the SU-35 or the S-400 to jam it. You just need to figure out the algorithm that the radar uses to...

    India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

    Whenever any radar system is operated, it generates frequencies in a certain sequence, with a certain method. If you know this method, you can jam it completely. Even if the Russians don't give this method to India outright, it can be gleaned from the system's radar, provided you have enough...
