Most likely accurate, they did plan to do 3000 to 4000 sorties a day...10,000 sorties in 3 days. That's got to be typo. If it's real then its mindboggling...

1100+ aircraft with 3 sorties/day=3300+ sorties/day, 3300*3=9900+ sorties for 3 days10,000 sorties in 3 days. That's got to be typo. If it's real then its mindboggling...
The logistics for this kind of operations has to be out of the charts..this is great stuff1100+ aircraft with 3 sorties/day=3300+ sorties/day, 3300*3=9900+ sorties for 3 days
Woah did we just pulled our MKI from East to west with multiple air refueling. Damn I was thinking they would do that. Next exercise if happens would see two front exercise simultaneously. Damn if only we could've had Rafale with us.IAF Long Range strike missions over IOR with SU30MKI Air to Air Refuelling
We are more then capable of giving a bloody nose to the chincoms if we put our hearts and minds into it.Woah did we just pulled our MKI from East to west with multiple air refueling.

Shameful! This is what happens when one has an uncontrollable libido. For some, sex and moolah are the be-all and end-all of life.New Delhi: Group Captain Arun Marwaha leaked sensitive information on national security to Pakistan's ISI, Delhi Police said in its chargesheet against him.
The Police said that in total 12 sensitive documents, including the upcoming 'Ek Gagan Shakti' Air Force exercise and IAF-Army joint Human Aid in Disaster relief exercise, were passed on. The exercises now remain stalled.
The chargesheet said that Marwaha, who was in the post of Joint Director Operations (PARA) at Indian Air Force Headquarters, and the ISI agents would talk on a 'hookup' app. The platform provided them secured chats which get deleted every time the users log out.
The officer was first approached by the agents on Facebook from two IDs named Kiran Randhawa and Mahima Patel. They then started chatting with him on WhatsApp, followed by the app.
The chats between the agents and Marwaha were explicit in nature. It was done to honey trap him, the group captain confessed in his disclosure statement.
On approaching Facebook, the IP addresses of the IDs were ascertained to have been operated from Pakistan. Marwaha was arrested on February 7 this year by Delhi Police. He had been chatting with the ISI agents from December last year, police said.
The Group Captain was first detained by the Army for inspection and after proof of espionage was found, he was handed over to Delhi police who booked and arrested him under the Official Secrets Act. Laptops, Mobiles and CDs were recovered from him.
Big, heavy, fuel guzzler... a very hot red target on our radar systems. It will bring a party of say 100 or 50 jets as defenders, then still we can handle it, but over Himalayas would be a suicide for chinks. Terrain advantage is with us here.We are more then capable of giving a bloody nose to the chincoms if we put our hearts and minds into it.
When we think about Chinese air force we think about 250 j10s, 54 Su30mkm, and some 300 odd j7 and Q7.
Little do people realise that India isn't China's primary concern it's battle is in South China sea half of its air force is placed in north Korea border as well as decent amount in Vietnam border.
So at any time we have to face only a part of China's air force.
Granted China has built a decent logistic transport system them have 250 mi 17 and wide network of border road.
Though there is a very big headache for us
This
China has 160 of these.
Only way to counter a bomber is a string self defence network and interceptor aircrafts.
In a worst case scenario if by chance all our aircraft gets taken out these things will bomb our military infrastructures deep inside our territory.Big, heavy, fuel guzzler... a very hot red target on our radar systems.

The chicken neck kinda cancels out all the terrain advantage we have u know in a war we both have to put extra effort.Terrain advantage is with us here.
Yes our war with China is mostly Land and army oriented but remember air force plays a crucial part specially logistics transport.I saw a video by Binkov's battleground, he led down the theory that mostly likely the war will be slow and mostly land based. Where army will play a huge role
Thing is just eye candy.
Yeah most likely they will eye that portion, but let's not underestimate the enemy. Airborne units can be dropped anywhere to sabotage roads, tunnels etc. Most likely by 3rd week of war, we may cinks dropping troops on our infrastructure.In a worst case scenario if by chance all our aircraft gets taken out these things will bomb our military infrastructures deep inside our territory.

J or Y20 whatever they wish to make, it's not going to be easy. Troop deployment will be improved on our side as the infrastructure build up will commence form 2019 onwards. Besides I am very confident that our missile tech will help us curbing this problem, we are progressing towards multi layered defence air defence shield.China will mass produce Y 20 aircrafts like a madman to beef up their transport of soldiers and logistics.
They already have some 300 odd Mi 17 for large scale troop deployment in chumbi valley and Tawang.
Personally I wished that we had taken license and mass produced Mi 17.
Agreed, but let's be honest, they are not democracy ... so there's a little advantage to control people, which in our case we seriously lack.China is a paranoid nation it has a lot of threats and very little foothold.
As much as I like to be agreeable, not everything will work out. The problem is some mofo political party will make tings worse. Telangana is an example.We have a strategic advantage against China and that is Andamn and Nicobar Island.
We should fortify that island with Air defence, anti ship missile, minesweeper, Sumabairne, Sumbarine hunting Helicopter, planes, and Frigates and destroyers.
Compulsory military service must be inacted on that island so that the public is ready for a sea based invasion.
Judging by our current pace, I'd say 4, it can also be possible that we will have 3 active carriers but 4th one will be in construction.In a idela case I want 5 Aircraft carrier by 2030 2 for Arabian Sea, 2 for Bay of Bengal and 1 for Indian ocean.
8 tejas...were the part of the exercise tejas demonstrated ccm and bvr capability and each tejas flown 3 sorties/day ....Have read all possible statement and comments but without a single word on how did Tejas performed in the exercise as this was a near real test of its potential and if IAF has actually made a strategy to use it. Only news was that it was deployed at forward bases .....anybody has info on the same please post it even "indirect sources" are welcome
