[HariPrasad]

SOURCE: INDIA TODAY



After carrying out extensive missions on the borders with China, the Indian Air Force has carried out strikes against locations from where the Chinese will gain entry closer to the Indian waters.

Su-30MKIs fitted with BrahMos missiles carried out strikes in the Malacca Straits which will be the entry point of the Chinese military in the Indian Ocean region. The aircraft also carried out a sortie of over 2,000 kilometers where they were provided mid-air refuelling by Ilyushin 78 tankers and direction by the Airborne Early Warning Systems (AWACS), the sources said.

The air force is carrying out exercise Gaganshakti which is at the moment in its terminal phase and has showcased strength of the Indian Air Force to adversaries on both Pakistan and China front.

The Sukhoi-launched BrahMos can hit targets from a range of 300 kms and can destroy aircraft carriers of the People’s Liberation Army Navy.

During Gaganshakti, which concluded recently, the air force focused greatly on tackling a two front war scenario. In the first phase, its western command and south-western air command completely suppressed the enemy on the western front while in the second phase, the formations focused on the Chinese frontiers.

What do you think happens when a missile strikes a Ship at 3 times the speed of sound ?

And in vartical dive mode.

What do you think happens when a missile strikes a Ship at 3 times the speed of sound ?

Assuming that it gets there in the first place?

Assuming that it gets there in the first place?

What will stop it?

Brahmos on MKIs is really a deadly combo for anybody to counter. Brahmos with ultra long range for missile with its class having multiple trejactory in terminal phase is a nightmare for INDIA'S ENEMIES. They will really be helples when Brahoms shall be fired on enemy ship from a 500 km away. Just close your eyes and pray god (As said by an American analyst).

India Might Surprise Adversary in case of war by Sheer No. Lunch Platforms and missiles launches
The way CAG reports are silent on Nos is telling all this "do more to procure" is empty drums.
To Put things in perspective all Missiles launched by coalition forces during recent strike on Syria can be done by single Force command.

Its just usual military drills which every country undertakes. This time IAF wanted to test its limits which is a good thing. India right now is the fastest growing economy with USD 60+ billion FDI pouring in annually, we won't risk all this by going into a war.

But your generals and air marshal are making statements about a two front war which is not a good sign for your business.

Generals and Air Marshals never talked about waging war. They said India should be prepared to defend itself in case of a two front war. Isn't this the job of the Generals to prepare its forces for any eventuality? And on a side note, they were specifically asked by the jornos about the possibility of a two front war and the General gave his honest opinion.

They never said India should be prepared to defend itself, they said despite nuclear deterrence a two front or a two and half fromt war was inevitable. Why do you people need a two front war when you are happy doing bussiness? You think your enemies are going to sit calm with all this jibberish?

And where did he say India will be the initiator of the war? Unlike in some other countries we don't have idiots holding high positions here who threaten other country with nukes based on fake tweets.
