A good step would be to first turn quad into a military alliance.
And how will that give you areas between F4 and F8 ?
QUAD will essentially mean hurting China in SCS but how is that going to effect situation on LAC unless you want SCS to use to fire Tomahawks on LAC. SCS is relevant to India only for destruction of Eastern and Southern China as deterrence and retaliatory measure.
Second as china occupies the dominating positions in f4 and is trying to push us even beyond.
We must do the same to them at points where we have a tactical advantage gain territory there and try to swap then.
Identify the places and I will veraciously advocate that along with you. Aim at little higher. Tell us how to make holding LAC unmanageable for China. Otherwise China has made sovereignty of India a joke where they come every day and do what ever they like.
The GoI over 74 years has opted for intelligence agencies and ITBP to protect the LAC. They opted for the strategy of denial rather than actively protect our borders. Both the agencies did neither.
Then why cry over F4 or PP14. Those are not tiny areas. Those are purported to be national wounds inflicted on Indian psych by Han Chinese. They have been regularly doing that since 1962. What have Indian rulers done so far? Used the tormentor as guarantor of their regimes... how successive Congress regimes have been surviving on Communist and leftist support in India in no secret....
It is the nation and throne of Delhi which is at stake and not F4...
Honestly what I would love to see is when the next time the chinese patrol starts moving towards f3 beat them to an inch of their lives and send them back as a demonstration of what is to come.
But one can dream I guess.
Not so simple. The pain to enemy must be unbearable, the cost to the other side should be high enough to deter, losses to the enemy must be physical and psychological....[/QUOTE]
