Do we have a clear picture of the balance of Chinese-deployed vs Indian-deployed hardware? We know of the H-6Ks, J-16s, J-10s, J-11s, and J-20s, but are members here informed of what the IAF has deployed as well? I'm certain that they've deployed Su-30MKIs, MiG-29s, and their other high-end platforms for the standoff, and their lower altitude gives them a payload advantage over Chinese jets.
Anyone have access to satellite imagery of IAF bases in the region?

Are those drones can work in below zero, -10C or -20C environments?
This is a good example of a strategy to minimize the cost of maintaining troops.
And how about the other necessities, shelter at freezing temperature?
How are those provided?
This conflict is clearer now that it will last through winter. The logistics becomes very crucial.

Well PLAAF have conducted 5th gen (J-20) vs 4th gen (J-10C and J-16 specifically) mixed generation combat exercises, both to train J-20 pilots as well as train 4th gen fighter pilots against something that is similar to F-22 or F-35. The conclusion was that a force of 24 J-20 is enough to handle about 700 4th gen fighters. I believe this sort of result is also seen in F-22 vs F-15 exercises.
So once J-20s kick in the door there's not going to be much contest left in the sky, the 4th gen fighters behind them are mostly going to be bomb trucks.
One does wonder what a J-10C vs Mig-21 fight would look like. Maybe J-10C pilots need some training time against J-7.
Mirages for them ground strikes. Don't forget them French fighters.

Using drones to supply frontline troops is so 2st century. in terms of logistic, China is already a winner, especially in coming cold winter on harsh terrain .drone1:attention ，let’s go bombingView attachment 63386
drone2:nope，just deliveryView attachment 63387
Next will be combat drones against human soldiers, if things go ugly.
wish do not get that ugly，better a peace world.
But these mtf indiants never learn，see what they've done these decades，even though this fucking idiot have problems with every neighbor they still feel the whole world is supporting them.
If Ruser is right about this, then the Indian positions closer to the south bank of Pangong arent very "dominant" all
Either the PLA beat them to the heights, or they drove them out...
If this is the true disposition of troops, there will be no escalation. China has been extremely vocal even if literally an 'inch' of land is lost.
"[The Rafale induction] is an important and historic moment," Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said at a ceremony at the Ambala Air Force Station in northern Haryana state on Thursday, also attended by his French counterpart Florence Parly.
Calling the Rafale deal a "game changer" for India, Singh said the fighter jet with its long range, high speed and other multirole capabilities has given a "technological edge" to the Indian Air Force.
"This induction is a big and stern message to the whole world, especially to those eyeing our sovereignty," he said in a speech delivered in Hindi.
