China, not Pakistan, is India's main threat

[StormShadow]

the 1962 attack on India was seen as a potential method of ensuring no competition from Indian economy for next 50 years which would outwiegh the current costs of war. I must admit that their strategy was successfull as it has ensured no competition b/w India and China for past 50 years.

As part-II of that plan china is going to attack India again to show of it's strength and make sure Indian economy doesn't compete with it for next 50 years. this attack will take place in 2012 exactly 50years after the previous attack.

:O
WTH was dat !?

New Delhi: China, and not Pakistan, is the focus of the Defence Ministry's latest 15-year plan for all the three services.

The latest integrated perspective plan, which will be in force from 2012 to 2027, is aimed at equipping the Indian armed forces to move from the current stage of dissuasion to deterrence against China. The plan is currently in the final stages of preparation.

According to the plan, by 2020, India wants to have dedicated Mountain Strike Corps, over 90,000 men specifically meant for deployment in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh and equipped for offensive operations.

To begin with, the military wants all the planned roads in these high altitude areas to be completed on priority basis.

India is also activating, revamping and upgrading its air bases along the China border both in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. This includes at least eight advance-landing grounds. Nyoma air base, barely 25 km from the Line of Actual Control, will eventually have Su-30 combat jets stationed there.

The Army is all set to improve the living conditions in high altitude areas by placing over 5,000 specially-designed, self-contained, thermally-insulated shelters for troops so that they can withstand temperatures going down to minus 40 degrees.

In the long run, India also plans to acquire and deploy ultra-light howitzers and light tanks in Ladakh to bolster security there.

Even the Indian Navy is planning for future contingencies by planning to operate two carrier battle groups, several stealth battleships, submarines and long-range reconnaissance planes.

Another important component in the long-term plan is to beef up the fledgling tri-services Andaman and Nicobar Command to keep a closer vigil on the strategically crucial south east Asian region as well as the Mallaca Straits.

This is over and above the on-going plans to develop 8,000-km range inter-continental ballistic missiles in the coming decade.

Well, well..We have a soothsayer amongst us.

Among the most confused analogies on the subject.

Pakistan is a concern...not a threat. China is a serious threat.

And you are the biggest threat on this forum

 

[T90TankGuy]

at least after this many of our pakistani friends wont say we are obsessed with them and are arming our selfs just to attack them

on a more serious note i do believe the Chinese are a threat . while they may not declare war like 62 they will try to keep things from being on an even keel .

China's strategy with Pakistan indeed prevents India's dominance and conquest in Asia.

However, naturally we don't really possess the evil intention to harm India.

India's strategy with Vietnam indeed prevents China's dominance and conquest in Asia..
Time for you to take rest in moral policing...

This time we have more friends that are powerful enough and are waiting for an opportunity to counter China.
And more over China's border issues were there and the Tibet issue will regain strength if China thinks to attack India.

Believe me bro, when the need arises, we may see ourselves standing alone in the battlefield. And we need to be prepared to stand on our own, rather than "wishing" that some "all weather Friend" will come to our rescue. You know what I mean. We have live examples near us, of friends "helping" each other out.

Is China is a military threat to India? Not in the short or medium term although China is militarily stronger. I don't see a Chinese version of Hamid Zaid spewing venom about conquering Delhi. Pakistan is a threat in the sense that while they will not win a war with India - some of their leaders are crazy enough to go down in a blaze of glory for ahem rewards in the after-life. Nor are the Chinese conducting overt or covert terrorism in India. It is good to be vigilant against the Chinese but to call them a bigger threat than Pakistan is pushing it.

That's because The Chinese government is much more mature.

Its better to have an enemy predictable in there enmity ,than a friend unpredictable in there friendship .
Pakistani intentions are clear and one sided but China's intension's are not .

We would be wiser if we prepare for all eventualities instead of siting hand in hand and wishing that our rivals valued wisdom over foolishness.

Yup, i agree with u. I guess it is better to rely on ur own abilities than depending upon others. No one will come to help us till they are safe.

Our growing power is definitely a threat to India, but it doesn't mean that we are actually hostile toward India.

Actually, it's the other way around! Indias growing power made China take some clear actions alongside the border regions, while China has to focus on the US, Japan and S. Korea in the east only, you now are forced to split the miltary to the western borders as well.
India now is reacting on that, to increase the self defence capabilities in a similar way, that's why all modernisations, or new procurements are focused on China and countering your steps in Tibet.

Yes brother we need to build up our own capabilities , also at the same time we need good overseas relations especially military relations.Believe me The MRCA will make French/Europe a good military ally of India.

Seems like Indians have their fair part on making PD such a popular forum as well don't you think? It's always better to get a variety of infos, from different sources, that's also why PD has such an attcraction for many members and why these sections, that are non Pakistan specific are so active.

There is very little chance that China may wage a war against India. Just think- Who would by their Made in China Keyboards, Mouse, Fuses, Light bulbs and darn...even Ganesh idols. Almost every damn thing is Made in China.
