Whenever you guys have an argument with PDF members from any one of the other countries on that list, you talk about how the others aren't really threats and are actually friends of yours and will not try to take you on etc. Quite frankly, China has pissed off too many people (countries), if it throws the first stone, an alliance will form and you will be royally screwed.
You guys actually want to take on the second most powerful land army in Asia in entrenched defensive positions in mountainous territory backed up by a capable industrial base and air power? While also simultaneously warding off the best navy in Asia, the best military force in the world and numerous other capable land armies? Do you guys take after the Pakistanis in their tendency towards suicide?
Beating India is not so hard? India possesses little to no offensive capability vis a vis China until the new mountain brigades come up. But that does not mean that in any way it is not capable of a furious defense. Arunachal is essentially a fortress, the Ladakh region will be somewhat more difficult to defend.
And @
Chinese-Dragon the Indian nuclear arsenal is most certainly not a total of 1MT TNT equivalent. It's been categorically stated that India has 200kT nuclear warheads. Unless you believe we only have a few of those, then you're being very foolhardy with many hundreds of millions of your countrymens lives.
And rocket artillery doesn't win you wars CD. Using rocket artillery on civilian populated cities is the kind of shit that gets your leaders in war crimes courts. The Tibetan plateau is also a disadvantage for PLAAF aircraft, lower air density = long turnaround time and MTOW.
