True, but I think like Ukraine, it has tipped to the point of no return. It was considered too big to fail, now it's too big to maneuver out of the hole.

Pakistan as we knew it is done pretty much. Their continued existence is contingent on them sacrificing a lot of influence and human capital.

He means radar guided defense guns View attachment 195511View attachment 195512View attachment 195513View attachment 195514

Actually, thats just electro optically guided gun. Small radar there is velocity measuring radar, to get accurate readings of velocity and program next round + adjust aim point for next round. It could have an external search radar placed somewhere to the side, just pointing out its not in the picture.

Lol. AA guns are widespread, just called by different names to sound tacticool. One of the best and most cost effective ways of tackling threats that sneak past missile defence.

Indeed, AA guns are the future with the widespread use of drones.

How many reasonably modernised AA guns do we actually have in service?
From what I can gather there were about 1000+ Bofors L70s bought over the decades, out of which only 200 were upgraded recently, what about the rest - how many of them are serviceable? Then there are a couple hundred ZU-23-2 also. What about IAF?
These weapons usually have a range of only 1-2 km, and once you start to distributing them over key sites (which will number in the hundreds if not thousands), IMO the coverage will look much less impressive that some might be imagining here.

China Sees Balloon-Launched Drone Swarms In Its Future

Researchers in China and elsewhere have demonstrated that high-altitude balloons can launch drones and the military applications are glaring.

Yes, the last news was ~200 L70 were upgraded by BEL. Around 468 ZU-23-2 is also being upgraded

ZSU-23 which is the self-propelled version is also being upgraded - https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/aero-india-2023-bel-upgrades-zsu-23-4-shilka

The whole point of AA guns is point defense, like defense of airbases and military installations. We can't protect every inch and barrack, not even Russia can, as we are observing.

TBF, range is closer to 5-6km for max intercept (slow targets) and ~2-3km for faster ones, but I agree, area coverage is miniscule. Thats why they are only used to cover important bases, forward bases and airbases. Not feasible to cover a large are with gun based systems, for that missiles are needed.

It is important to properly get a feel for Chinese PLAAF capabilities than to be overpowered by the Chinese propaganda of number of aircrafts, their capabilities or I should say lack of capabilities.

Here is an article which clearly define the Chinese capability and why would they be at loss, if combat happens now or five years from now.

China 'Zooming Ahead' As World's Mightiest & Meanest Air Force; But Why Has PLAAF Shied Away From Aerial Battle With India?

Scars of the 1962 debacle against China remain in our thought, and most Indians believe that ‘The Dragon’ might swallow India if it decides to do so. This template remains fixated in Indian minds courtesy of our strategists, who project China as a superpower vis-à-vis India. One of the most...

What worries the most is Chinese and Pakistan acting together to corner India. That is where QUAD comes into the picture.

I love how smart this move is.
China can't say like "you guys are playing in the buffer zone".

The Ice Hockey rink looks cool.

Looks natural to me, may be a frozen lake at this time of the year in the DBO sector.
