I couldn't tie all those 20 tweets together and get the full picture. In summary what they can do and what are our options against their weapons or tactics?
PLA uses UAV to detect threats - targets are then relayed to long range artillery and rocket launchers .

truck mounted artillery range is about 40km , the rocket range is supposed to be 350km

targets are air fields , ammo depots , concealed forward positions.

after firing , they move to new position and fire again.

for fast moving targets they will employ UAVs - ASN-207 UAV , tweet says they have over 1000 of them.

------------

pretty much inline with an old article , PLA will try to strike with long range weapons and UAVs .

but yea i guess we taken all that into account. IMHO its hard to hit positions on reverse slope of mountains long range , instead of handfull of bases , our bases are scattered . unlike the chinese who have huge military complex . :hmm: then also we have the IAF .

Someone explain to me, how many S-400 systems are we getting ? News & wiki says 5 regiments. How many independent systems does that make?

Also, are we getting 40N6E missiles that have 400km range?

This is the likely composition of the S-400 which India is getting.
5 regiments = 10 batallions of 8 TEL each = 20 batteries of 4 TEL each.

Do we have any counter measures against their UAVs? And their tactics somewhat look predictable if they do that don't you think?

But What can bhutan realistically do other than keeping quiet...there is a certain section in Bhutanese polity that sees India in as suspicious eyes as china when it comes to sovereignty of their Happy land..
Whose fault is this anyway? Isn't Bhutan's foreign policy is look after by India?

Let's see, this agreement is indeed a shady deal.

dont know much about these things. these exercises only give idea of what they may do.

remember some time back they also did a exercise involving MBRL , artillery and helicopters.

description said - objective to recapture a peak taken by enemy forces.

i think it was warning in case we did another op snow-leopard

Bhutan's foreign policy is not dictated by India. India is only responsible for the national security (defence) of Bhutan, but that too, only if Bhutan requests it.

So if Bhutan comes to us, says, hey look, China is encroaching on our land, Indian Army has authority to take control and challenge Chinese occupation like in Ladakh.

However, as you might already know, Bhutan thinks of itself as the Asian Switzerland and chooses to remain neutral. They think they can "resolve" these boundary issues with China by "talks".

In my opinion, however, Bhutan will be Poland of Asia instead.

Bhutan/Nepal and other jokers in SE Asia are finished if they think they can resolve issues with CCP through talks. They can live as b.ches of CCP, but never as sovereign equals.

Guys

Any guesses as to what the over confident Chinese Xi and weakling Biden talked yesterday in an online discussion. They did not talk about economics or Himalayan confrontation etc. They most likely talked about China threatening Taiwan or the Chinese naval armada now circling Taiwan. It was American opportunity to tell Chinese that any attack on Taiwan will be considered as attack on American interests in the area and America will respond in kind.

We cannot be sure as to what else they talked but most important issue in Chinese mind is to grab Taiwan and in US mind is to prevent it.

No minutes of the meeting will become public but if China takes steps to defuse the situation in next weeks and month then the world will know about discussions.
