I truly hope so and hope you are better informed than I am. Regardless of capability, our armed forces are always shackled by the gutless MOD and govt.
Agreed , MOD and GoI have disappointed the armed forces many times . It is the IAS beaureaucrats there which have corrupted the entire ministry along with lazy defence civillians .
One such recent example is the Kargil war where IA/IAF were told not to cross the LOC. What was the need to maintain one-sided sanctity on the LOC while the other side had clearly violated it which was the very genesis for the war. It then turned into a meat grinder before the duffers on the west cut their losses and ran. We gained no territory and instead were forced to fight a war on our own land, which is a morale killer for any professional military.
the decision to not cross the LoC was to prevent an international response and to portray pakistan as an aggressor , that move was done purely to get international sympathy . Either way the war would have gotten over certainly
Granted we are very resourceful and absolute champs at jugaad, but there is only so far we can go without the right equipment.
you're partially correct here , we are defficient in some areas as i have indeed admitted in my previous post but that's not too large or critical to give PLA complete superiority over us , in short , we are not rich , but we are not broke too
.
Make no mistake, the West will not support us tooth and nail like it did with a European blond/blue Ukarine. At best they will mouth some platitudes of support and at worst be neutral/conduct business as usual with CCP. I dont think we will have the luxury of expending freely donated Javelins/NLAWs at PLA armored columns. So I am cynical about our prospects when sh.t hits the fan!
Army planners already know that and we are not hopeless either ( very fine steps have been taken to defeat chink armour). But first of all , don't expect PLA to launch Corps level thrusts( or combined arms army as they call it ) . The largest formation which can cross into our side would be a heavy combined arms brigade of the PLA as they don't have dedicated armored brigades . These briagdes have some 3 combined arms battalions each having 31 tanks in two tank companies and the other two being light / mounted / mechanised / motorised infantry depending upon the terrain where they operate . Even spanggur gap isn't wide enough to allow a multi brigade thrust into india and if a follow up attack is to come then it will most likely be done in a linear fashion than a lateral one which will give us more time to take decisions and prepare our defences or to launch a counter offensive , our amroured brigades too are no less than their combined arms brigades , they too have multiple combst arms in them including an engineer squadron , two armored battalions , two mechanised battalions and one arty battalion and a supply company , so our current structure for armoured briagdes and mech brigades rivals the structure of PLA heavy combined arms brigades but reform is needed in our infantry brigade structure to make them more inclusive of engineer elements . Our anti tank assets have been bolstered as you must have heard in the news with BDL being given an order for thousands of Konkurs and Milan missiles in the past few months . So all i wanna say is - who needs javelins when you have konkurs ( i know it's inferior to javelin lol)
look at our awesome shit in ladakh . 
ever seen shed like these ? , these are vehicle shed with sliding doors , rite ? , ( dont ask ur dad or anything ) .
