have you ever heard of those Chinese rocket-launchers of 400+km range? So you even don't need to use the airforce to attack Hanoi. Just set a row of launchers along the border and fire rockets to them continuously/constantly until they surrender. It is way much cheaper than missiles and efficient.
If China keep rising like current trend to a certain scale, sooner or later all those bordering countries will have to switch position to become her allies. So, there are only two choices now to countries like Korea --- either to hinder/interrupt China's rise or prepare to become a subsidiary...
Honestly I don't think it is a good idea to Koreans. Most tiny countries should learn how to find a way to live peacefully between the gap of two big dominant countries, mostly small countries even have to please both sides (in this case China and US) by ***-licking--- it is harsh in feeling but...

Thank you for the link---"IRNSS-1 will be launched on-board PSLV-C22 during the second half of 2012 while the full constellation is planned to be realised by 2014.". I don't know the time now in India. In US it is still about 10 hours left for 2012. I will check TV or some news report about the...
please go check and confirm first. do the check frequently please. I like to see India launches 7 satellites before 2014. btw How many satellite launches India did in the past? And what Indian has launched into orbit in the past that can be said to have the capacity to be equal to a "GPS"...
