Dabbas sleeping on wheel during peace time.Well then it suits us to keep talking and bore the Chinese to death isn't it till we stock up adequately. What're you complaining about?

I am now wondering about something totally different. For all we know, Indian forces are completely out of ammunition. Our procurement process is too messed up and our reserves are not even replenished. This is why entire bureaucracy is now running like a headless chicken doing diplomacy and trying to get some emergency supply.. They don't even have a day worth of ammo.

If the Chinese are getting triggered by other countries political statement then they should already be at war with the US and Europe , they mention HK , Taiwan like every dayChinese got triggered after Amit Shah made the Aksai Chin reference in Parliament.
From the posts by seniors here, it seems the Army has a game plan ready. Question is will the govt. move ahead? So far we are playing like Dhoni in the last days of his career while the Chinese use the time to fortify all the areas they crept into.
I really hope that is the case. Though our posture and deployment leaves much doubt.The exact opposite has happened. Modi didn't build infra at the border without considering Chinese belligerence.

Nitin Gokhale says the construction at PP 14 is indian and not chinese.. But how is it possible, that India burns superpower China's tents, and then builds fortifications at PP14.

Really, send 100 men.. thats all it takes ? And who killed 20 IA men.. the same wimps? Also, they have built fortifications and supplies at PP14.. in any hand to hand combat in such a well defended area.. we will lose many more men than the chinese..
No. The fight is for the highway. We will side step and go past PLA fortifications and hit them in deep interior. We have such forces with us while PLA does not have.Entire OSNITs (or ASSNITs) and the defence jornos are covering the chinese build up across LAC, while smartly they are ignoring the Indian build up(rightly so). The game is on.........
My gut feel says the real fight is all bout pongong Tso, but the first bullet will be fired else where,
Do you know of something called P8I. They are capable of firing LACM and are a direct counter to PLAAF bombers. We can hit PLAN in SCS from India mainland with cordinates of target being provided by satellites of QUAD.Sir, I recall you made a detailed assessment of war on india-pak, with diagrams and other information on how IA/IAF/IN can take pakistani strategic assets out in a matter of hours. Do you have something lined up for China?
I expect IAF to be very effective in CAS and less effective in A2A combat. I had posted about the detection advantage IAF has over PLAAF in Ladakh.@vstol Jockey How effective will IAF be in mountainous region? For ground attack operations and CAS?

This is called failing the smell test....Please look at the image again, the defence wall/fortification is facing India and on many structures no wall facing China.
Will IA make structures that are open from Chinese side and closed from Indian side?

Of course, that's the biggest fear. Why do you think Kadi Ninda ran to Moscow? These people have some expired stock only, so to get more now they need Russia to manufacture for them.
Its just simple earthworks that they are building. But, it will be more difficult for IA to vacate them in hand to hand combat.. assuming they are chinese fortificationsThe Chinese were testing the IA, now they now what to add for the fortification. They will fortify every corner of the path valley area mountain, that's the advantage they have over India due to manufacturing power.
No.. the government has gone on record saying that they have enough ammo for 10 days of intense war.. but yes.. if we have to fight longer, then, we need replenishmentThey don't even have a day worth of ammo.

I am not the only one making these allegations. Former IA Generals and Majors have also asked this question : Whats the need for emergency purchase if we have enough stock. There were articles telling low levels of critical ammunition. Also given the massive Chinese build up on multiple fronts, the rate of consumption will be HIGH. Lets hope we don't have simultaneous attack from Pakistan and irritation from Nepal.what was the basis of "we dont have ammunition for even one day" your excellency @Saaho?
