It doesn’t matter about what the actual enemy is, you train assuming they are equal or better.
You assume the Chinese are as competent or better than your pilots and will outnumber you in most straight fights - so what tactics and assymetric strategies does the IAF apply to make this superior enemy fight on its terms.
Erich Hartmann who is the world’s most celebrated fighter ace had a great point - it is that first shock and awe that wins you a fight and then the enemy crumbles - superior or inferior becomes less relevant . Whether it was the Styx SSM coming out of nowhere to sink Pakistan Navy ships, An Amraam hitting or even just shell shocking a Su-30MKI and the Mirages seeing 10+ fighters in front of them, or a hypothetical strike by a combination of land and air launched Brahmos crippling a Chinese command center in Aksai.
As for the martial race thing, it also shows how outdated Indian understanding of today’s Pakistani military mindset is.
