I asked my sis then how to gain an upper hand in the Air Battle's, she said first strikes at their air assets she said they don't have that many air asset's at Tibet's or UAR's but most of them loacted at the Chongqing or siuchan our first priority will always been the air asset's bases located at this regione's unless operational Command's change's barely few asset's are located at the Tibetan's PLAAF's airbases and the UAR air asset will be targeted by the North Command air asset's with most of them within our range but some would be even out reach of our Su 30 MKI's

Pak. posting in China
When asked if India’s concerns of a two-front war were growing, President of the Centre for China Analysis and Strategy Jayadeva Ranade told The Hindu that it was a “possibility”, and pointed to the recent posting of a Pakistani military officer to China’s Central Military Commission's Joint Staff Department.
“China has major strategic and financial investments in Aksai Chin-PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan wider area as represented by the CPEC [China–Pakistan Economic Corridor]. But I feel Islamabad might hesitate to get directly involved because they would anticipate a massive retaliation by India before it switches its entire attention to China,” he said.
India has fought with Pakistan at the LoC on several occasions and with China at the LAC in 1965. However, it has not so far had to deal with a “two-front” situation. Last month, Army Chief General Naravane said India “must remain alive” to the threat of a two-front war, and in January 2020 referred to “dual task formations” as a countervailing strategy.

Porter hi bana do usi me khush hai hum

Army raising 3 porter companies in ArunachalEmployed temporarily, they provide crucial services to frontline fighters


Logistics support: A porter-raising ceremony being held at Sapper in Arunachal Pradesh on Friday. Special Arrangement​




Days after the stand-off between Indian and Chinese soldiers at Galwan Valley in Ladakh, the Indian Army has begun the process of employing 1,800 porters temporarily in Arunachal Pradesh.
Officials said three companies would be raised in coordination with the State’s Labour Department. One of these companies is for Tawang region that has been central to China’s claim over the State since the 1962 aggression.
The Army periodically takes in porters for about six months to carry essentials and equipment to and from forward posts in the high altitudes across the Himalayan belt. Each porter is “treated like a soldier” during his tenure, renewable depending upon the need for their services.
Timing of drive
What has made the raising of the porter companies significant is the timing of the “recruitment drive” — from July 1 to 12 — and the element of patriotism thrown in by Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu. Such rallies are usually held in August or September.
“This is a great time for our unemployed youths to showcase their unflinching patriotism by working alongside the brave Indian Army. This opportunity offers you not only employment but also the best chance to serve the nation,” he said, addressing the porter-raising ceremony organised by the Army’s 22 Mahar Regiment in West Kameng district on July 3.
A local NGO named Yuva Arunachal had campaigned to mobilise the youth across the State to avail of the opportunity to join the Army indirectly. The response, State government officials said, has been overwhelming, unlike the last time “when a few hundred” turned up. A senior Army officer, who had been on the board for selecting porters said the porters are paid according to the wage for unskilled labourers fixed by the Labour Department of the State concerned from time to time. Army and Labour officers make up the board.
“Although we have mules, porters are indispensable for logistic support in areas where vehicles cannot go. Fit locals acquainted with terrain and climatic conditions are assets, and their services are renewed on requirement particularly during the winter season,” the officer said, seeking anonymity.

From 1986 to 1988, we dealt with a more serious two front situation.

Those on the western border would know how even Army & Navy school buses had been covered with camouflage nets. Temporary radar stations sprang up with AA gunners even near civilian areas of importance.

What we have now is a serious situation but we have LIVED through a more serious situation back then.

People were prepared for bomb raids, black outs, iodine tablets were issued at certain places in the Western Sector (Gujarat, Rajasthan). Air raid sirens were tested along most urban and rural centers where there was threat of PAF attack.

Printed pamphlets were distributed to homes, volunteers went and discussed the dos and dont's etc.

All developments so far point to a wider war possibility then just Ladakh. What actually happens is hard to see, the threat in AP and Sikkim cannot be ignored. Chinese can try incursions in HP and Uttarakhand also. Then obviously Kargil can become hot again.

We cannot be certain about intentions of Chinese as China is a closed society. Reading their mind is next to impossible.

India should plan for the worst including nuclear dimensions.

They can create a nuisance for sure but I guess our some of our reserved forces & as well as local police can do the job in critical areas like Siliguri. Entire NE region will get flooded with reserved forces in case of both external & internal threat. Naxal areas will also witness the same. That's what 0.5 front is all about. India has prepared for that for a long time.
Siliguri isn't the issue. Hindus and Gorkhas will beat their chump asses. It's a bit lower down, the Dinajpur-Malda belt that's the dangerous area. Even during CAA/NRC protests they had uprooted train lines and blocked roads and cut off access to North Bengal for a few days.

Needs Preemptive deployment of forces. And do not expect the Mamata govt to help. She might even sabotage it if Muslims are concerned

I lived in Jamnagar as a 4 year old and witnessed it all.

If you were at AFS Jamnagar, a walk to the field beyond the AFWWA shopping center was where they had L-70s and ZU-23s. We would pester the AAD guys to let us sit on the ZUs for a spin. Some kind hearted one's would oblige and allow us for what used to be one hell of a ride.

Further away, Vadinar was a crucial oil pumping station so they set up a radio+radar station there including some AD guns and there was talk of some G2A missiles as well. Never got to see the missile firing units though. Sikka was another important facility and had some early warning equipment installed.

I believe only Op. Parakram saw a similar level of mobilization.

If they start suffering major casualties they are chances of desertions in their army too I read somewhere they force conscripts to work very hard for little to no pay.
Desertions is far fetched since CCP has tight control over people and networks to filter out any counter-narrative.

Furthermore, the reason why no deescalation has happened because CCP believes Galwan happened due to Junior officers and troops going on rampage rather than guts of Modi Govt. That's why China said to punish those troops.

Modi has made pretty clear he is standing behind actions of his army by giving them appropriate clearance for using weapons. China replied like an angry kid by daring India to use weapons.

IMHO, this conflict wasn't designed for this much escalation. Only problem is China can't back down without losing face.
