CHINESE ARE NO 10 FEET TALL

most Important factor: India's military strength. Before they embark on typical Indian behaviour of collective vidhwa vilap by comparing rawnumbers, it would be poignant to point out that Himalaya is world's highest mountain range and 90% of Chinese arsenal is useless in that theater. It need 10:1 supremacy to dislodge an enemy in mountainous terrain. Far from China having that sort of military supremacy, it is practically impotent in mountain warfare with it having 3 acclimatized brigades against our 11 mountain divisions.Mountain warfare is fought and won by infantry, and you could not rush soldiers directly from plains as they would die of vomiting their guts, if rushed in without acclimatizing. The new light tank (which people may have heard of,and which Chinese claim could withstand a supernova explosion at point blank range,even though it is a light tank where concern for enemy is that their rounds would go right through tank and thus would not damage it enough) of China is a desperate measure from their part which is to be used defensively, if India break through Himalaya and marches onto Lhasa. There is one major Rail link, and 3 major roads from China into Tibet which would be taken out within first few hours of a conflict.It would cut Chinese armies deployed against India off their supplies,while Indian Army supply lines are very short and local. On top of it,China has not fought a shooting war since 1979,& best practice its conscript army has got has been shooting at cardboard targets; while thanks to Pakis and Kashmiri Jihadis,every Indian soldier has battle experience. China has shit quality knockoff planes,of which only few could be deployed on bases in Tibet and Chengdhu from where they could reach India,and even they could not take off from Tibet with full load as rarefied air of Tibet reduces thrust of aircrafts. On top of it, only J-11D in PLAAF has OBOG,while all frontline Indian planes have OBOG system,thus reducing high altitude fighting capability of PLAAF even further. In Navy, Pakistan is a bigger challenger of IN in Indian ocean than PLAN. IN could block Oil supplies of China from Middle East easily. I have discussed about Indian and Chinese Navy ,in this thread twitter.com/i/moments/8589… ,in a different context. The truth with China is that, while it is a decent military power, it is not as strong as people make it out to be, and it depend on propaganda and intimidation to achieve its objective. For Ex: Its DF-21 ASBM which it has tested on an stationary target,but never gathered enough courage to test on a moving target. The reason for this is that it knows that an ASBM could not hit a moving target due to some shortcoming that originate from basic Physics. Similarly, in mountainous regions, it is not strong enough to aggress against India. There is a reason why India is not backing down here and Army chief has visited Sikkim to assess situation (ie this aggressionnagainst China was ordered from above and was not a spur of decision of a lower raked officer). The way I see it,this Doklam plateau standoff is a gift by China to India. China tried to grab land belonging to Bhutan, and Bhutan called India for help as India has taken responsibility for Bhutan's defence under Indo-Bhutan friendhip treaty. India slaps some sense into Chinese and throw them off Doklam plateau. And Chinese media, CCP mouthpiece, and nationalists, who do not know anything about ground situation work themselves into frenzy thus supplying enough warnings to make a full season of comedy show. India shows that it does not give a damn about China, protects its friends, and also prove that China is a paper dragon; thus solidifying its street-cred which causing humiliation to China. Even India could not have picked a better situation to go loco on Chini conscripts.The fact that China is trying to grab Bhutanese land is a Sweetner:"See!Chronic landgrabber China is bullying peaceful "Bhutan" while India is protecting Bhutan's territory
