could be a possible AH64E (indian Army) strike depends upon air space situation. if its too hot IAF goes in if its manageable AH64E go in with hellfires..IAF to Secure airspace afterwards hence the massive activity..
Do not trust me please! i have made tall claims previously... :)
You are correct as i said it could be a long shot but as you may have noticed Indians have gone to US as strategic ally against china what is stopping china to up the ante... it is food for thought...plus they are securing galwan for what? because ever since Indians have claimed Gilgit-Baltistan...
Actually i Expect better IAF is much more capable then Indian Army Deployed there it could meet on equal terms with PLAAF in Ladakh sector in a skirmish.

this what pacifism can do...last year 40+ soldier died in blast at Pulwama IAF responded and hit balakot. here Chinese kills 40+ soldiers and IAF did not respond ...
incorrect approach - led to where we Pakistanis are after 27-Feb-19 - leadership matters..
Dear they have not yet finalized The requirements if they have not done so they would not have started work upon it.
Azm is off shoot of JF17 program(Replica) with chengdu so new designs are there but we(Notice we) have not yet started any work on it...
as to above 2 x engine (RD93/WS13E) are...
@Mumm-Ra @Armchair
I am thinking out loud! forgive me!
let us be objective and dont get ahead of ourselves....if PAF has sent fair amount of CAT"A" Pilots to chengdu, that could mean 3 x things...and 3 x things only..
1. Initial pilot conversion course and impending delivery of J-10C
2nd. it...
there are problems with "shark" it needs time plus (it is superseded) what is rumoured in Chengdu not shenyang!
so they are on "Dragons" or dare i say "something else"
