Hi Yusuf,
Go the other ways; and there are plenty of routes that the Indian Navy could not possibly have the resources or political will to "choke". To "choke" the Chinese,
Needless to say, the entire theory of "choking" the Chinese by closing the Strait of Malacca is little more than a popularist invention by some government official or newpaper men in India, for domestic consumption.
The "string of pear" is probably little more than the Chinese attempt to create an economic trade route that will enable them to free themselves
If we are talking about an arms race between the Chinese and Indian, it appears there is only one nation is this "arms race" after all.
"Choking" the Chinese? What for? You should think about teaching yourself how to really "ROAR" instead.
Show me a route capable of handling a CBG and have enough option for maneuverability..
And Who is talking abt only Oil, It the Raw material, Leave Malacca straits, Entire IOR is IN & USN influenced..
Those String of Pearls going to be blocked..
Why defensive now ?
And you think that USN going to be friendly with PLAN ? Singapore is also a Strong allay of India it conduct WAR games with India annually to strengthen it strategics alliance with India and we lease them Ground to do so,
Forget
Singapore
Philippians
Vietnam
SK and
Tiawan
Japan
And its the US influence works in SCS..
If your CBG or any War vessels rage in SCS its a hostile act to all those in SCS, Our influence is till IOR and Andaman Sea we are not handicapped like you..
