Ladakh Flash Point

[steel21]

Seems to me that india is in a much better strategic position than china. it has much less contentious borders than china, and much less potencial adversaries than china. Perhabs china should do well to concentrate more on its army. Wars are won by land forces.

As an Army Officer, I would like to concede that Wars are NOT won by land forces, it is won by the air components.

With out air dominance, your army are just shrapnel magnets. Also, with air dominance, and mobility, you can force multiply your land components by moving them around via airborne or air assault operations, allowing brigades to successfully execute missions that might have required a division or corps.

Without air, you can't maintain C4ISR or even a credible naval contingent.

Where do you get such an antiquated notion?

I should have said that china has much more potencial adversaries on its borders than india. In adition of india, china has the long central asia border (which may give trouble to china in the future), russia, the korean peninsula, vietnam (all of which have large military forces) and last but not least is taiwan which of course requires large forces being present in the strait.

Compare that to india which only has china and pakistan as neighbours with large military forces.

How come you're such an expert on everything. From C919 to debt laden Chinese state enterprises. Yet, you still haven't answer the questions proposed to you. Yet you got the audacity to come out here and give us your opinion on india-china border clash?

Man, every time you open your "mouth," it exposes your ignorance and stupidity. Every single sentence above is wrong, as in factually and logically wrong. While it's kind of expected coming from you, what's truly amazing is that putting them together sets a record of low, even for you.

What a way to take a word to be out of context. If someone is suggesting that there is even a chance china would face a conflict with russia and north korea in the border and thus it faces bigger challenges than india in term of border maintenance, then yes it does sound really audacious. First of all from probability of that even happening, given the relationship that china has with these 2 compared to india with both china and pakistan, is already very unlikely. We can then go down further like talking about the difference of capability between china and india, and then yes ofc it would make such talking point to be extremely ignorant.

Yeah right. So yours right all the time them? Right.

nobody to YOU? who the hell do you think you are that you would even think it relevant to anyone what they might be to YOU?

Yes. Thats right. You are a nobody to me. I'm not wrong in that. So I've got nothing further to say to you. You are as relevant to me as an amoeba

You tell them Richard!

"Everybody who disagrees with me is a conformance enforcement thug and head of the forum thought police."
That'd come in handy for some.

Yes. They bought all the equipments needed from Indian companies. The companies had the arduous task of affixing 'made in India' stickers on the 'Made in China' stamps.

But it's a job well done, pride upheld and lives saved ( kinda).

Oh dear, here we go again. Lets see what you will write this time

In adition of india, china has the long central asia border (which may give trouble to china in the future)

Wrong. Which country in Central Asia will give trouble to China. The region is basically in Russian and Chinese sphere of influence...

Next

russia

Wrong. Did you just miss the recent celebrations about China-Russia treaty.. did you also miss that Putin himself said that he could even argue that Russia-China relationship could be called an alliance...

Next

the korean peninsula

Wrong. N.Korea is the ONLY true treaty-bound (defensive) ally of China. they are basically at the same ship now. S.Korea has also tasted the THAAD response from China and it will now steer clear from antagonising China. If it helps the US to attack China, it knows that this will be the end of them

Next

vietnam

Wrong. Vietnam is NOT a friend but it is also NOT an adversary. Vietnam from top to bottom is a snake. If China has any brains it will manage this snake carefully. However this doesn't mean that Vietnam is stupid. It knows when and where to push, and when to withdraw.

Next

and last but not least is taiwan which of course requires large forces being present in the strait.

Wrong. Yes that it requires "large forces" but China is not a small country. It has sufficient forces to distribute its power along different military theaters depending on its needs. Also Taiwan is an extremely complex matter which is not as simple as you portray it to be, so if I was you I would let the Taiwan thing on the side

Next

Compare that to india which only has china and pakistan as neighbours with large military forces

Wrong. Yes China has many complex relationships with its neighbours but that doesn't mean that they are HOSTILE countries for China. China wont attack them and they wont attack China.
India on the other hand.. lol

Pakistan is locked and loaded the moment anything serious happens between India-China. If you really compare these "maybe, there is chance" that some countries will attack China, then Pakistan will 100% attack India. And India is not separated with water from Pakistan. The moment happens thats an open land field for Pakistan.
