Will they whine, spin, or escalate?
Bad formulation on my part. I meant without 5th gen it feel like 1990s tactics and not 2025.Never happened.
wow! looks like a nuclear exchange between these guys wont be far
Success depends on being judicious about which opportunities are worth the costs. This one isn’t. Chasing low reward opportunities are how you waste yourself on stupid prizes. It’s not like supporting Pakistan in this skirmish makes India go away. They have nukes so you’re not changing their domestic politics and convincing them to be even more committed to beefing with China long term does China’s long term strategic positions no favors. Smart geopolitics and strategy is not about shortsighted oneupsmanship contests.Taking India out while its still weak is not a bad play for China. India is a long term threat that also needs to be kept in check. India is still too divided and weak, its not a bad play to destablize India so much that they stop Economic growth and even break up into pieces.
Taiwan is not such a big deal, Taking US is certainly the main game. But success depends on opportunities. If China can take India out while only helping its ally, its not a bad play. China will not be seen as an aggressor.
Pakistan has a few for many decades. The Dassault D-20. Never heard much about it except that PAF uses it for EW.Only thing missing is dedicated EW aircraft.
Let's also hope that your Military stop pussy footing around and inflict the maximum damage to Hindi war assets to deter and incapacitate (if that's even possible) the Indian center of gravity= which is the Jai Hind/Hindutva crowd. They have been spoon fed the b.s. that they're already an established supapowah; that the U.N. seat was stolen or given away by the cowardly Congress led by Nehru and the Ghandi family - forgetting that the biggest and largest increase in defense expenditure on Indian military was under Rahul Gandhi's father.
India with the clear strategic push and encouragement from the idiotic west (incapable of learning any actual historical lessons) has made India into this almost uncontrollable Frankenstein unleashing it's non-existent might and self-appointed leader of the Global South, angling to become another member of the U.N. permanent security member- a destructive outcome both for the world and the permanent irrelevance of the international body.
They will deny all strikes and tell media that everything has been intercepted. We'll have to wait for satellite imagery.Will they whine, spin, or escalate?
