India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

[omaebakabaka]

I will argue otherwise. Now since countries do have the ability to track the ballistic missiles and do second strike this will make them reluctant to assume that the strike is nuclear in nature and yes it also depends onto adversary doctrine and behaviour and situation. So I argue that during warfare it will be okay to drop BM onto CV targets in future warfares.

It really depends on how many and the ballistic path.....we are too close to China, reaction time is negligible. India abandoned 2nd strike policy if I am correct or rather made it unclear.

The two maps show two routes to G219.

1. Via Pangong Tso lake i.e. water borne route straight to G219 and into the heart of Rutog County. This shows why the PLA is so focussed on the lake.

2. Overland via Chinese road S301. If the IA take Moldo post and the other PLA post to its east this road comes in handy although not without risks.

Therefore, one can understand why the IA’s checkmate of the PLA in this area is giving them so much diarrhoea.

Even though India will likely never push towards G219, that this possibility is made available to the IA is the issue for the PLA.

I think reaction time will not matter in our case. War scenario is not like Soviet and Americans. It is more like Germans and English. Or Russia and NATO. Neighboring competing powers. So second strike capability, dead man trigger or any such tool is essential to deliver punitive action to our adversary.
Nuclear fallout makes nuclear weapons highly unlikely to be used but yes use of chemical + biological + radiological weapons will always be there.

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police has prepared a new dog unit that may be deployed along the Line of Actual Control.

Maybe not a wise move as if they are captured by the PLA, they will likely BE EATEN!!!

Pompeo Ramps Up Diplomatic War on China

I must say Pompeo has been amazing vis a vie China.

He even managed to troll Xi a few months ago.

Wonderful.

You might have already seen how that bomb works. In short there is literally nothing like it. Worth every penny.

I also was one among them but I won't apologize.

I hate Nehru-Gandhi to the core due to how they had treated Netaji and while Netaji, Azad Hind Fauz, extremists, navy fought on the ground and "de di hame azadi bina kharag bina dhal, Sabarmati ka sant tune kar diya kamal".

and then they had systemically destroyed our country by their corrupt practices.

I was/am not ready to hear and digest - at least Nehru tried.

(personal opinion).

Actually replace from word sant remove sa and place cu and it's more apt, and the song will become more correct

PLA has nothing that India doesn't have an answer for. If they use cruise and ballistic missiles, India can reply with supersonic cruise missiles and Prithvi, Agni, Prahaar and other ballistic missiles. If they use J-20, India has ways of tracking and shooting them down via airborne and ground long wave radars, long range over-the-horizon radars, anti-stealth SAM and aircraft radars and heat signature. And India holds all the heights, with far better-trained soldiers of Tibetan and Ladakhi descent who are genetically better adapted to higher altitudes. Even if the Chinese stay where they are, they will suffer death through a thousand cuts in winter. And if they move a muscle, the Indian Navy will end all Chinese merchant shipping through the Malacca Strait.

People didn't, before, and after Twitter began attaching state-affiliation/state-owned tags for certain blue-tick Twitter handles, even less.

On the other hand, the "state-affiliated media" tag is a double-edged sword. Western press outlets on the CCP's payroll, such as the NYT, CNN, etc., take everything Gobar Times says as informal messaging by the Chinese state, even juvenile bile spewed by GT's porn-addict editors/contributors.

Our worries are about numbers which we lack Chinese can throw out thousand cruise missiles why they would have ready in stock? do we have such kind of numbers? I agree to the Malacca Strait point which needs to be choked.

unless they are nuclear a 1000 cruise missiles will at most scratch us..
