There is absolutely no way that Airpower won't come into play here. Both sides (India and China) will most probably dedicate Airpower but at the same time the fight might be between only IA and PLA because we all saw how China and India both didn't use Airpower in 1962 indo-sino war.I suspect that was due to overwhelming mass, not just technical superiority. In the Indian case, that wouldn't apply; they couldn't focus all their efforts on a relatively narrow frontage.
However, the possibility of switching off the AD grid can be tried. What happens? Does the PLA AF sweep in? Or do we ignore air power on both sides?
I have seen numerous posts on DFI Claiming that IAF has an edge in regions Such as Himalayas as IAF Fighter engines (Russian, US etc) are supposively Superior to Chinese engines as Chinese engines have trouble at higher altitudes?
NOTE : I am talking about Chinese jets armed with WS series of engines.
