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

In the light of the above statement, do you think for once India will initiate the conflict? @vstol Jockey

Since the beginning of this Summer, the normally garrulous CDS has been unusually quiet. This is the first public statement once comes across & it does sound belligerent for want of a better word.
The present status quo can't be allowed to go on forever as this gives China the control of all disputed areas between F4 till F8 and in Depsang Plains. We will have to take action to restore status quo.

If this escalates which it is bound to, do we have to wherewithal to prevail? The Chinese leadership certainly won't take a defeat lying down. They'd either prolong it or come back stronger after a brief lull. What's your reading of this situation?

I expect a skirmish now followed by a full battle 3-4 years down the line.

There's a pretty good chance they won't try and fight a war until they are able to equal USN presence in their pond. They are really nervous about a military alliance between US and India after all. And there's a pretty good chance we may have threatened such an outcome if the Chinese did attack.

Beside that, IAF is the main reason for PLA looking for a way out of conflict. The overwhelming sorties carried out by IAF gave chills to PLA in event of war. RKS Bhaduria said same thing yesterday.

Galwan gave away morale of our troops and IAF our significant edge that may have delayed or completely took conflict off the table for China.

The Chinese came in with the intention to bully India, instead got bullied themselves. Whatever they had planned completely unravelled after contact with our troops.

I'd actually say the army's tactics pushed them back, even if the IAF's posture was perceived as very aggressive by the Chinese, never mind the fact that they are not prepared to fight the IAF yet, with their inadequate infrastructure.
