Chinese naval force may have deterred Indian invasion of Maldives

[Ryuzaki]

China has negligible naval presence and naval facilities close to Maldives,which is just 90 nautical miles from Lakshwadweep and not very far from major base at Cochin.At any point of time,there are way more Indian ships there compared to Chinese assets.

Blah blah,you occupy the plateau but can't build the road?
Build the road if you dare,build anything beyond the standoff point.You PARTIALLY occupy doklam,as you have since 2000,we didn't care,but we will not allow you to move forward.Nothing you can do about it.

You see those orange lines till Doka La? If those aren't roads, what are they? According to Mr. Bhat, we are still building roads on that plateau.

Before this, you were saying, come in Doklam if you dare, we came in and occupied. So now the goalpost is shfting to South Doklam? Before this, the warning was nothing in Doklam or else, we rolled in, then trenches came in, helipads came in, barracks came in, tanks, missiles, guns. So much warning and yet we just keep on doing things, instead of talking. Allow us to move forward? once the plateau is fortified, you won't dare enter. We need your permission and yet you don't even dare retrieve your 12 mil US$ drone bhai? How pathetic is that?

Check how many Destoyers, frigates, subs you have vs China. We build the entire INDIAN NAVY in 5 years.

We are not shifting goalposts at all,China has had a presence in doklam since 2000s.It didn't bother us,it bothered us when you tried extension towards jamperi and we put a stop to it.You claim you own doklam yet can't build anything beyond standoff point in our zone lol.Wake us up when you summon the courage to build your forward road.

So suddenly this Indian source is credible because it suits your narrative? You hypocrites.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

So suddenly this Indian source is credible because it suits your narrative? You hypocrites.

So then why did India refuse to intervene in the Maldives despite being requested to do so?

 

[noksss]

Omg, are you really that desperate for a 'victory', that news of the so called they wanted to visit India first and the news of the Yameen extending the emergency even though India specifically warned them not to was a month apart.

They are trying to appear 'friendly' to India, so did they visit India? No right? Excuses after excuses, if they really gave a damn about India, China would not have been there genius. Use some common sense....or are you really that naive? Fantasizing that the Maldivians love you?

Maldives Says:

India is the first stop for the visit

India Says:

No dates to meet you

And your common sense says:

We are fantasizing that Maldivians love us

Conclusion:

So then why did India refuse to intervene in the Maldives despite being requested to do so?

How do you think russia fought in Syria ? Did Assad not invite russia to fight on its soil? the same logic applies here .Did the elected Maldives president requested us to do so? last time India did it because it was requested by the then Maldives president ,Any military intervention without such request would be considered invasion and why would India do that ?

Maldives Says:

India is the first stop for the visit

India Says:

And your common sense says:

We are fantasizing that Maldivians love us

Conclusion:

Maldives says : We are visiting Pakistan, China and Saudi

Indian media says : Maldives says we are the first stop and we rejected to meet Maldives.

India media says : Maldives is pro China, we need to invade them!

So which is which ? Is Maldives pro India or China? Make up your mind please? People say things just to stroke your ego. Are you that naive? You are trying to overthrow Yameen and he is supposed to LOVE INDIA? Damn it, you guys are an amazing breed of people.

We are not shifting goalposts at all,China has had a presence in doklam since 2000s.It didn't bother us,it bothered us when you tried extension towards jamperi and we put a stop to it.You claim you own doklam yet can't build anything beyond standoff point in our zone lol.Wake us up when you summon the courage to build your forward road.

Can you tell me which 'presence' we have apart from periodic patrols which even the Bhutanese do? . Didn't you say you were trying to protect Bhutanese sovereignty? So we are occupying supposedly Bhutanese territory now. Wtf are you doing? You trying hard to prove it is perfectly normal for us to occupy it without admitting you are actually unable to do jack shit while we occupy it.

So no road but it's pkay if we build an barracks, put in missiles and howitzers, helipads and trenches, all aimed at Siliguri? .

We don't own it, if we own it wouldn't be disputed right? . We CLAIM IT. See the difference? Hey shuddn't you be happy we are not 'building the road' but putting in a military base instead. That's a win win situation...aren't you happy?

Don't you find it weird you government had been lying for months? First you said we left, all Indians were jumping like monkeys, then you said we didn't build anything, then you jumped like monkeys, now the satellite images are out, you said we just occupy Doklam Plateau and it's okay, and you still jump like monkeys. When the defensive structures are up in the plateau and we build a road from the east side, then wtf can you do then? Excuses after excuses, all to cover up your incompetence. Modi basically handed us Nepal and Maldives. You think we are some kind of superpower? They wanted us in because they are pissed with India.

And having only half a dozen operational subs is not?

Chinese ships are sitting ducks to shore based aircraft. Nothing changes that

there is a reason the US Navy operates dozen or so aircraft carriers. you should ask them

Well, India was officially asked for a military intervention, but they decided not to.

Even though it was unlikely for China to declare war over such a matter, I guess India decided not to take the risk anyway.

Excuse me - India is not in business of intervening for the request of every political opponent

 

[terranMarine]

I thought Indian armed forces were ready to enter Maldives, looks like not happening.

No, Chinese warship armed with long range SAM of 190km and CWIS to intercept incoming missile. Unlike India one.

India has a history of poking every neighbor business especially small countries. Like threatening Nepal, send terrorist on Sri Lanka, forcing on Bhutan and Maldives. This time India failed to act on Maldives clearly shown India failure becos of presence and superiority of PLAN

 

[Michael Corleone]

it is not like china has declared war or anything

Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bangladesh are dependent on Western (read US/European) markets and tourists
The little deals they cut with China are no threat to the security of India and USA

sorry to disappoint keyboard warriors

That’s why you see India summon Bangladeshi govt, as to why would be need subs....

Chinese ships without air cover are sitting ducks

With this they don't need an air cover you stupid @wiseone2

What an amazing logic

Indian navy didn't intervened because Chinas navy is now four times bigger than India's but army intervened in doklam despite knowing PLA is 2 times bigger



Your amazing logic translates as the below:

Since china is yet to pull the trigger on US in south china sea they lack balls too

Are you plain stupid? India outnumbers the Chinese army by a factor of 20 times on the border ... this just shows how confident China is with deterring India using a small but elite force. China's navy might only four times bigger than India's, but its naval technology is probably 12 times more advanced ...

We are not shifting goalposts at all,China has had a presence in doklam since 2000s.It didn't bother us,it bothered us when you tried extension towards jamperi and we put a stop to it.You claim you own doklam yet can't build anything beyond standoff point in our zone lol.Wake us up when you summon the courage to build your forward road.

Apparently, this former Indian intelligence officer does not agree with you

Trying to convince yourself that the Chinese aren't strengthening their presence in Doklam only weakens India's position. How do you confront an enemy if you don't even acknowledge their existence?

The one thing that the Indian military fears more than the Chinese army is the Chinese navy ...

Bangladesh has to purchase it from someone
The protest might have been due to the fact they are overpaying for 3rd rate junk

a ship travels at 25 knots. Even a chopper flies at 10 times the speed. I will let you figure out the odds. We will not get into the odds of handling a Flanker.

Just explain to me why the US Navy has a dozen aircraft carriers

Naval power is a function of naval aviation. Chinese naval aviation is weak. There are zero or little capability to project force

Stupid excuse, even for a junk, the price of those subs were basically negligible.
