This is what exactly chinkis want.
They will send some troops and if our troops fire at them, they will cry before the world and say IA slaughtered their troops.
Worse, they will declare war because Xin zing pooh is trying to save his ass and a war is perfect for that.
Yeah maybe... Or even better we should supply crossbows to IA. Inflict some casualties on PLA by not using firearms.
In case they come in too heavy numbers guns are the way to go.

Do your bit as well:

Nope. The drive to carry on info warfare has to be done at strategic level. If you rely on common man to drive it god help us.
At best we can troll Porki and chinki. But you cannot leave the narrative building to the public

How do you know this?.. Why will they use older, heavier ERA on a new light tanks?
I don't know it for a fact. I made an educated guess based on the fact that this it is a light tank and would use the lightest available Chinese ERA. Even if they do mount their latest ERA, their latest ERA is about as capable as Kontak-5. So might give some added protection against FSAPDS, but again, useless against tandem warheads.

It's main strength is our tanks having no APS & main weakness is it having 100mm frontal armour (unconfirmed, but from Chink forum) meant to stop auto-cannons.
If its only 100 mm RHAe of frontal armour, then our tanks having APS or not is not that big a problem. Then the problem is fire control. Our Mango FSPADS will be able to pierce Type-15 armour at much longer range than the 2000 meters range at which Type-15 becomes barely able to penetrate T-72 armour. But the Type-15 is a small target. It will be difficult for T-72 to target at longer ranges with a good hit probability. T-90 will still work better though.

But that 5 km range ATGM Type-15 fires could be a problem. Yeah you are right, APS is a requirement.

somebody please help me understand, why we will play by their rule? why this bows and arrows saga? what's the need for this medieval mindset?

shouldn't we play by our own rule?

draw a red line, if they cross that, then simply fire. and I think we've also conveyed that to them.
Why even train the army and officers in Modern warfare for years, if we have to use medieval weapons.. with soldiers dying like some street fighting gundas.. using firearms will increase casualties, but atleast soldiers will fight like soldiers.

The only way status quo can be changed in this area now is through pre-emtive arty/miss. Everything else is just posturing. Eyes n ears to the ground..... intelligence is paramount.
