Those are all nice but do they compare to SRao's idea ??Dude I know you are concerned perhaps a bit too much. I would like to give an idea of a 2 front war.
for the last 50 years, the Indian strategy is to simulataneously fight a 2.5 front war without any external help
1 = Offensive war against Pakistan
2 = Defensive war against China
0.5 = internal uprising by Indian muslims / naxalites
***The 0.5 war will be handled by 1 million army reservists and 1 million central govt armed police forces such as CRPF
***To wage a war, you need logistics,
Pakistan just has 3 days supply of Petroleum - Oil - Lubricants for full war
Pakistan just has 72 railway engines, 10 passenger rail engines and 62 goods train engines vs India has about 10000 rail engines - You need a road-rail network to supply an army in war
In terms of modern aircraft, India has a 20 to 1 advantage over Pakistan
***Next we move to the defensive war vs China
*The China border is along Tibet, which is mostly a high altitude desert
China cant keep more than 15k soldiers permanently in Tibet, and even
during a temperory war Surge, no more than 100k for about 2 months
The extra surge soldiers have to be acclimatise for several weeks
In Mountain warfare, the invader needs a 5 to 1 advantage
In 1962 war, China threw 100k soldiers vs 15k Indians and had acclimatised them for 3 months
To handle a 200k Indian mountain soldiers, China needs to attack with 1000k
soldiers from Tibet, and this is impossible, even for a surge.
*Next Military jets cant take off from high altitude Tibet, with
full fuel and weapons load, China just has 24 jets in Tibet
vs hundreds of Indian jets taking off fully loaded from plains airfields
China ( and India ) cant make jet engines and China imports low reliability
Russian jet engines ; Russia deliberatly sells limited amount of jet engines to China
for fear of future Chinese invasion of Siberia
*Next the Indian navy can easily blockade the Straits of Malacca, and cut off Oil to China
Land based Indian aircraft can destroy any Chinese navy in Indian ocean and only a
small % of Chinese navy can operate in Indian ocean, much of Chinese navy has to be
held back to face US and Japan navy
*Next, China has a bad habit of ripping off arms vendors, they even ripped off
the Russian Su-27, so most arms vendors wont even give brochure to China
In terms of modern weapons, India can buy latest tech from US, Israel, Russia, France,
all of which are far more technically advanced than Chinese weapons - 70% of Chinese export weapons are sold to Pakistan ( which is desperate for any bad quality weapons )
So China cant cross Himalaya and cant enter Indian ocean.
This is my thought process regarding a two front war though it is strictly defence based. We need to be wary of both Porks & Chinks but no way we should fear them.
50 US super soldiers at the LAC .
Must be watching too much Military or Discovery channel
