From Navy to Airforce, India’s Muscle Flex Take a Relook At Country's Most Prestigious Weapons 💪 👊

IAF vs PLAAF: The PLAAF can at best employ about 130-160 aircrafts due to the severe limitations of air bases in this theatre. Out of the 7 airfields it has, none except Lhasa is able to house a full squadron. Tibet has 4 air bases, out of which only Ngari is close to Ladakh. The other 3 – Shigatse, Lhasa and Nyingchi are 1500 to 2500 kms away. All the 4 Tibet bases are at a high altitude of more than 4000 meters, effectively reducing their weapon load and range by half, and making them visible to an enemy with a high performance AEWCS platform. Xinjiang air bases are at a medium altitude of 1300-1600 meters, but are farther than the Ngari air base, between 300 to 700 kms from the Pangong area. The J-20 has no support infrastructure in Tibet or Xinjiang, and will have to operate out of Chengdu, which is 4000 kms away from Ladakh, and will need multiple refuelling. That will make it vulnerable to India’s NETRA AEWCS. So the J-20, with its suspect stealth capabilities is a sitting duck for a Su-30MKI, that has been upgraded specifically for this theatre. J-20 with its exposed side and rear RCS is not quite an F-22, or F-35.General consensus in the aviation community is that it is not a 5-G aircraft at all. It is not even as advanced as the Rafale, which describes its capabilities rather conservatively.
Let us look at the numbers that India can throw up. The following air bases have the entire Ladakh and adjoining Tibet theatre in range – Leh (high altitude), Srinagar, Awantipora (Medium altitude), Jammu, Pathankot, Adampur (Jullundur), Amritsar, Halwara (Ludhiana), Bhatinda, Suratgarh, Ambala, Chandigarh, Sarsawa (Saharanpur), Hindon (Delhi), and Bareilly. That’s 15 full fledged air bases with the whole of Ladakh in range, and 3 – Agra, Gwalior and Bakshi Ka Talab (Lucknow) just outside. The PLAAF infrastructure does not stand a chance against the Indian infra and the capability of its aircrafts.


Jaguar DARIN III (60) + Rafale F3R (36) + LCA MK1A 83 jets(on order)


The first flight trial of the new AEW&C aircraft will take place in four years(2025), with the entire project being completed in 7 years(2028)

SU-30MKI has been integrated with DR-118 RWR(6th generation) , BNET SFDR , LITENING targeting G4

And in future it'll be equipped with dual-band Infrared Search and Track System. Contract for them have been signed between HAL & BEL. And by 2026 it'll start getting upscale version of AESA radar


As of today it has 20 yr old radar. Once its installed with AESA radar and ability to fire Meteors only then it would become a threat. BTW Nobody trust that indian Air to air missile. So presently, SU-30MKIs with such old russian tech / old radar that is prone to jamming is a liability. Even indian analysts aknowledged that SU-30s didn't fire a single R-77 because they never got a lock signal. PAF has no threat from entire fleet of IAF, only the 36 Rafales are worthy opponents.

N011M is not simply a PESA but instead it's a transition between PESA and AESA in that it adopts technologies from both: each transceiver on the antenna array of N011M has its own receiver amplifier, which is the same as AESA and with noise level of 3dB which is also in the same class of AESA arrays

So presently, SU-30MKIs with such old russian tech / old radar that is prone to jamming is a liability.
Elta EL/M-8222 is the MKI's standard EW pod, which the Israeli Air Force uses on its F-15s

You have not mentioned any facts regarding chinese preparations. I feel you are not ready to accept. You are totally bais. Your military is nowhere a match with china. Its comparable with one in your western borders not at all the dragon at your north.

You did not mentioned the rocket force of PLA. You did not mention the entire arsenal of guided artillery, the UVACs available to PLA. They can always supplement their bases more numbers if required. The differences in airforce is already discussed to death in above posts.

Its pointless discussing something extremely obvious. You and china is not a match. Not at all.

China can not quite overcome the limitations imposed upon it by the Tibet-Ladakh geography. In sheer numbers PLAAF has a 150-270 disadvantage, with the 130 being effectively equal to about 90-100. That is why I have ventured to state that PLAAF is a sitting duck for the IAF

Pinaka Mk1 ER (50 kms), Guided Pinaka (75 kms) MBRL, Smerch(90-120 kms), Pralay & Shaurya, BrahMos LACMs(steep dive variant) will make China start taking a note of our capabilities.
In any conflict, with the range they offer, we can target any major Chinese node. India is fastracking the induction of more Conventional Missiles like Pranash & Prahar (assuming Pralay inducted) & SMART which can be launched from the shores

Just for your info. I will never click that propaganda blogs made by total liars & bias bakhts. (Eurasian times / Idrw ) . The whole purpose of the shitty content is to deliberately discredit anything Pakistani or chinese. Indians are no.1 in lying and cooking up stories. IF you want to send links then send credible links Or send links from the country itself... just like I replied you with your own links for indian air cheif / vice admiral admission.

Okay, How its relevant?

The article summary:
PLA eyes in the sky and at sea sought to track the aircraft carrying the US House speaker. US reconnaissance aircraft detected over waters near Taiwan during PLA war games after trip, Beijing think tank says.

What do you want to say?

a source said the People’s Liberation Army’s tracking efforts – which involved jets and Type 055 destroyers – failed.
“The PLA deployed some electronic warfare aircraft such as the J-16D and warships to try to locate Pelosi’s aircraft, but were not successful,” the source said.

“Almost all the PLA electronic warfare equipment couldn’t work properly because they were all jammed by electronic interference by the American aircraft strike group sent by the Pentagon to escort her

Yuan Ming, an independent airpower analyst, said it was not surprising that the Chinese vessels did not detect the flight

He Yuan Ming, an independent airpower analyst, said it was not surprising that the Chinese vessels did not detect the flight

“Even if the Type 055 [destroyer’s] radar is said to be 500km (310 miles), its effective range in the real world would be much less,” He said

“Couple this with the vast operating area as well as the Type 055’s relative newness both in terms of its hardware [capabilities] and software [crew], there should be little surprise that the PLA [naval] cruiser could not locate [Pelosi’s plane]

Says who ?

This is not written in the article. Are you quoting Eurasian time liar mumbai based blogger and fake story maker. Whole world now understands a propaganda article quite quickly. "sources within chinese military says" LMAO!!!... are you serious ???

I myself saw live route of pelosi plane and live feed when it was landing. It was all on internet. Tell the propagandists to do better next time.

See, we can understand these are times of Sinophonic. Lot of people are unhappy with rise of China.

But here are some facts, no one can reach where china has reached without solid base of technology. You cannot develop 5th gen fighters, you cannot be the only nation on planet to have your very own space station, you cannot land multiple rovers on mars, you cannot be the leader in 5G tech, AI & hypersonic weapons without a solid base. China is a reality. You can remain sinophobic and disregard their technology just like third grade bloggers or you can join real / credible world. Choice is yours.

See even the credible western writers aknowledge that chinese have surpassed russian tech (on which whole indian military is based) . Read below article by western sources which are too anti-china but atleast they are truthful :
