India China LAC & International Border Discussions

Looks like Chota Ambani might just escape paying back that $700 million USD loan borrowed from Chinese banks.

Boy, he is lucky !

That su30 order is just to replace the crashed birds and keep Hal line running.

That HAL part.It seems they are running on Su order only. From 2013 i am reading that they will complete order in 2019 and in 2019 ..

This is also my reading of the events, but one thing it will dent aura of Modi.
Also, how will Chinese pomerian react now, I mean Nepal Pakistan etc.
It again shows India is caught pants down and loss narrative on information warfare.

On positive points any plan to reduce defence budget to compensate for Covid is thwarted for good

Nope, no denting of modi aura.

On the contrary, finally some country bled China after 40 years of aura of invincibility, and modi happens to be incharge at the time. that too twice In months time(first was pangong tso video). Many countries wanted to do this to CCP, but never had the balls to do it.

Chinese sponsored western propaganda on modi as Hindu nationalist, now they got return gift.

We have been waiting over a decade

Keeping the source codes with them is fine as long as the lizard eaters dont get it to sabotage us.

They completed order now this is for crashed Su-30 and keep the manufacturing line engaged

Some one on weibo posted this pic of a spiked spear / staff weapon .



Searched image on google , apparently their police use it for crowd control

I guess they got tired of running people over with tanks .

The MEA is window dressing.
Soldiers will get a chance.

We need them to vacate sites. Otherwise it is loss for India . We can take our time, but need them to vacate those sites.

It is an adaptation of their ancient melee weapon

Is this true? How much time would it take to deliver on emergency basis?

If it's a rolling dry-lease, immediately. We pay, they pull out RuAF aircraft, strip it of any classified secret sauce it may have, attempt to augment some interoperability with Indian systems, transplant IAF user interface to the best they can, and hand them over immediately. These aircraft will be good enough for use within formations, or even visual range engagements. Knowing IAF, these will be positioned more toward shoring up air-defences against Pakistan.

Eventually UAC will begin manufacturing these aircraft, and then India will have the option to acquire those aircraft, or keep the leased aircraft and begin retrofitting them up to MKI spec.

If we're dry-leasing, we'll very likely get RuAF-spec Su-30SM

As for MiG-29, it's anyone's guess. They closest thing they have to 29UPG is 29SMT, but they only have like 22 in their entire inventory.

Again both leased aircraft will only be good for fattening up formations or for use as reserves. They'll have 99% of the kinetic capabilities, and if you're using them to lob R-73/77, you're fine.

Just imagine if MMRCA clicked in 2009 and we bought F-18 Super Hornet. One phonecall to DC, and they'd deliver from their inventory the next day.

Why conventional wisdom giving China the military edge over India may not be true | CNN

Recent studies from the Belfer Center at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government in Boston and the Center for a New American Security in Washington suggest India maintains an edge in high-altitude mountainous environments, such as the one where the 2020 face-off is taking place.

Intel alerted about PLA movement in Ladakh in Feb-March

China: Intel alerted about PLA movement in Ladakh in Feb-March - The Economic Times

Indian intelligence agencies had alerted movement of Chinese army in the eastern sector of Ladakh during February-March. This was followed by multiple alerts but with more specific caution in April on Chinese soldiers planning a blockade to cut off access to areas patrolled by Indian forces.

This should clear things . 1996 agreement didn't ban the use of arms only restrained them . So once Chinese started fighting there was no reason to not use the arms ( Rods , baton , what have you.).

Everyone has their roles and responsibilities.
It's upto the public to make an effort to understand what is what.
