Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates

[Volcano]

PLA structures in Depsang seem to be small compared to IA camps in size and numbers. PLA also only seem to have only one road coming in to Depsang plain. If they are going to attack in Depsang, there shouldn't be any surprises,we should be able to notice reinforcements coming in early.

As you can see, PLA structures in Depsang seem really small

In my opinion, in scenario of conflict, following weapons will play most important role from Indian side.


1) Excalibur round with M777 gun.for Precision strike.
2) Brahmos to take out airdefense system of China.
3) Globe master / Chinook for logistics.
4) Rafale/Mirage 2000 for countering and attacking Chinese position.
5) Appache against Chinese tanks and ground forces.

Compared to large IA positions.

And has Nepal tried to take that land. They are sending there communist cadres and the locals themselves are kicking them out. Regime changing Nepal can be done. No need to open another front just for the sake of it. Nepal will be dealt with but right now let's focus on China we will flex our muscles when we need to.

All nations around India are starting to understand the chinese debt-trap diplomacy. Maldives is backing off, so is Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Bhutan has outright rejected it.

Nepal's turn will also come.

Pakistan loves spanking and will keep getting more of it till it reduces to Punjabistan.

Naming punjabistan to khalistan will solve one more problem automatically.

The first order of business should be to use ballistic missiles with conventional warheads to take out two major airports in China near LAC. Simultaneously take out the Chinese airdefence systems, again using ballistic missiles. Follow this by massive air raids on any attempt to re-establish airport facilities in the region. Use airforce to support ground operation following that.

Babaji to Twitter par Afghanistan bhi jitwa de. Maybe it's time we do a list of so called osint accounts which are not reliable and act more like Indian media jumping for trp and then stop using their tweets as news.

So apart from PLA we are now also fully prepared to defeat Global times.

The Chinese are very afraid of casualties

They had a hard.time hiding the Galwan casualties

If they were so sure of their strengths
They would have begun firing on us

For Precision strike, Brahmos is put in second place to target their air defence and other locations with Precision.

I disagree, it's not a good idea to use BMs, specially to hit targets you described -

a) There is no way to know if it's tipped with conventional warhead or nuclear. The adversary will not wait till it hits to find out and retaliate with nukes. This is true for both countries.

b) CMs will be better in terms of cost than BMs for the targets described by you.

a. Thats you enemy's headache, not yours. Remember, they have more to loose if a nuclear war breaks out. I doubt that Chinese are so stupid to risk losing everything before confirming that the attack is indeed a nuclear tipped ballistic missile.
b. There is no difference in radar detection of a ballistic missile like Prithvi and a guided rocket with a range of 400 KM like Chinese WanShii rockets. If rocket artillery with a range of 400 KM is all kosher, there is no need to worry about a ballistic missile like Prithvi.
c. China herself deploys ballistic missile in tactical role. Biggest example is DF-21D which is employed in anti carrier role.
d. Iran also attacked US bases with ballistic missiles. Didn't start a nuclear war.

b) CMs will be better in terms of cost than BMs for the targets described by you.

India has no CM with range required. BMs are actually cheaper. Brahmos is actually more expensive. Lastly, subsonic CMs can be easily intercepted.

Brahmos is too expensive of an option. A barrage of BMs will do the job much better than a barrage of Brahmos.

I would like to highlight some excerpts

According to a “political officer” with an Asia-Pacific country, which is engaged in a love-hate relationship with China, his initial assessment that he had shared with his headquarters, was that India will have to back down if the confrontation stretches.

“India’s decision to match every move the Chinese are making has come as a surprise. The assessment of our intelligence wing, too, was that India will take a few steps back if the situation is not resolved by June end. Clearly, the assessment has not matched what has actually happened on the ground. India’s strategic image has ‘moved’ up several notches due to the way it has handled China,” the diplomat told The Sunday Guardian.

Another defence attaché with a European country, who has been closely following the developments taking place at India’s Eastern borders, said that the banning of Chinese apps by India may not hurt China economically very much, but it had hurt its pride and will encourage other countries to take similar steps in the near future.

When everyone is a military expert, some doing a well thought out recommendation, in start of war, start with shooting ballistic missiles, between 2 nuclear armed neighbors , minus the nuclear. Reminds me of a cricket match, where other team needs 1 run on last ball & the guy next to me starts recommending & shouting, bowl a full toss delivery.
Guess everyone entitled to have a opinion, even if it makes no military sense.
