Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates
- Thread starter Shashank
- Start date
Indian Army has already taken that into account.. Bipin Rawat himself had said some time ago that, any war against China will be drawn out, as China in the initial phase of the war, will use non contact means like missiles and PGMs..The PLA will neutralise the ‘predominance of the defence’ in high altitude terrain by not getting involved in “close infantry combat” over unfavourable terrain. If at all it chooses to use force, its pattern of attack will be driven by high-end technology with overwhelming use of PGMs, cyber and electronic warfare. The much romanticised ‘blood and guts’ close combat is a relic of the last century.
Close combat is so last century. China will use drones, PGMs, high-end tech against India
The three new areas of warfare, which constitute cyber, electronic and space domains, have been adopted well by the Chinese PLA.theprint.in
Depending on the military aim and level of operations, a PGM-based air and missile campaign may precede the ground attack along with cyber and electronic counter measures to neutralise the command and control systems of formations/units and weapon systems.
More in the article.
This is exactly why the army needs a robust and modern air defence system in order to neutralise their PGM capability. The Chinese can do all the cyber and electronic attacks they want, it's the PGMs and missiles, actual hard kill capability, that we really have to stop.
QRSAM can stop helicopters, PGMs and cruise missiles. MRSAM can do everything the QRSAM can do, and at higher altitudes, so even fighter jets, and also TBMs and SRBMs.
Without modern SAMs, the IA is going to be a sitting duck against modern PGMs.
But, missiles and PGMs are costly and limited in supply. If India is able to disrupt the kill chain, and make a good number of them miss their targets, then India can wrest the initiative..
Take out control centres if present in forward areas. Jam comm. or sat links.. Take out chinese drones which help them in target acquisition..
The only option to "win" the way you want is by the genocide of the Taliban. The US is not going to do that. Anyway, the objective was never to destroy the Taliban, it was only to remove them from power and keep them out of the important economic spheres in the country, which they have succeeded at.
But they don't have everything they need yet. They need MRSAM/QRSAM and CRAM especially.
They dont have to hire.
With such news or steps, they are successfully creating a rift between India and Nepal, especially dangerous as we have 7 divisions of gurkha rifles.
Basically opening another front against us. A front for which we have zero resources planned.
The 2 shootings on the border by the nepalis in the last month is a manifestation of the change in policy on the ground against India. Do you remember something like this in the last 50 years ?
Just closing our eyes and hoping for the best is not an option.
Either oli has to be removed asap or we have to bolster our security on the nepal border.
Oli has been openly hostile against India, throwing all diplomatic niceties aside. Their are no easy solutions. This is China playing hard ball and India has to retaliate. Life is not a bed of roses and lived on hope.
And what the hell does the ambassador to China wish to achieve by making the rounds of PLA generals.
Its a bit surprising to me that the Chinese are even allowing contact with their generals. Unless its a powerplay to make the ambassador look needy and desperate.
Modi government is showing its amateurism in foreign dealings.
The Chinese only respect strength. Seems modi has not learnt this in the last 6 years.

so, isn't that objective failed now ?
Because:
- Taliban returning to rule
- Already they rule 80% of hinterland, except maybe the Heart province (forces loyal to Tajik warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum), Kabul & Tajik-Uzbek Afghan border
- Taliban controlling all economic spheres again
7 divisions.. means over 1 lakh gurkhas in IA.. Come on.. There are 7 Gurkha regiments.. A little more than 30000 gurkhas in all.. A little more than 20000 would be Nepali gurkhas and the rest Indian gurkhas.. Not sure how many Nepalis in Assam Rifles..
Know the Gurkha regiment, pillar of India's security for decades
The border dispute with Nepal turns the spotlight on the Gurkha regiments, which have been a pillar of India’s national security for decades
'आजाद भारत के 74 वें वर्ष की वर्ष कुंडली दे रही, बड़े खतरे का संकेत'
AFAIK, the Taliban actually control 20% of the country. And contest about 40% more of the country.
Even if the US leaves completely, the Taliban on their own cannot push the govt out, especially from the cities. So it's going to be a pretty long struggle as long as American money keeps flowing into the govt and they keep Pakistan out.
The US doesn't seem to care much since they want to see a destabilised Af-Pak, which in turn means a destabilised Af-Iran border as well. A destabilised Central Asia keeps India, Russia and China in control as well.
In case things get serious, the US can always step in and set the Taliban back by a decade.
India not to give in to any PLA demand over disengagement. Restore status quo ante is the mantra
Despite a number of meetings at both military and diplomatic level, the Xi Jinping regime is adamant on its positions and posture on LAC with all dialogues showing hardly any progress.

Actually threatening Taiwan, for the F-16 deal.
When it comes to India, their threats are empty due to the geography.
