India | Preparing for a 'two front war' against China & Pakistan.

[acid rain]

@ chinese and Pakistani fanbois, the article and the title says India is preparing for a two front war - as in, we see that as a threat perception and are considering such a possibility - its not to say that we assume the dates of the wars, or the outcome of it or whether it will even happen. We are within our rights to prepare for any eventuality.

Bunch of bull crap. for terrain, China holds the high ground. They are going to attack down hill. how is that an advantage for India? You know nothing about terrain in warfare.

As for Indian Ocean. Its own by the US navy. If India start to intercept ships there, it would have to handle the US navy.

As for tactical location. This must be something you invent yourself.

As for the will of the people, this would be an opportunity for Indians in various states to split up.

finally, you must be desperate to bring up culture using caste. Caste system itself is one of the weakest point of Indian culture and it make the society immobile. It would also make Indian army immobile as well.

The point is that the only way India has any chance against China is to allow US troops to station around the India/China border. Otherwise, India has no chance.

learn something about warfare kid. at least play some computer games

That is hilarious.

You twist the facts so much that from your post it almost looks like India has the advantage.

But the Indian Army is on record saying that "India cannot possibly match China" and that "the gap between the two is growing faster every day".

So who is delusional, internet fanboys or the Indian army?

Indian naval chief also said "we can handle china in south china sea" as i pointed out earlier to you. why arent you quoting that?

Look, being on a pakistani moderated forum its easy to come to the conclusion that india is a weak good for nothing. but i thought you had the intellect to see through that

I think China and India might go for a war very near.

So you get your battlefield analysis from video games. Get it.

I stand by my statement. India need US troops to station in and protect India in order to counter China.

"The size of China will make it impossible for the rest of Asia, including Japan and India, to match it in weight and capacity over the next 20 to 30 years. So we need America to strike a balance."

20-30 years is a long time.. we will see what happens in next 10 years..

I won't say that India can beat China now. If India is smart, it would prevent war between the two sides. Because the best scenario for India in a China/India war is a stand still draw. In this case, India can claim victory as China is perceived and actually is much stronger. A worse scenario is repeat of 1962. The worst case would be India split up into pieces, which is likely once India is defeated.

oh common, China beat us in 62 because we had zero infrastructure in border areas then and we were outnumbered by 8 times and we fought that war with our 70% troops equipped with ww2 era .303 rifles.
Worse scenario can be this.

I recall reading somewhere that Lee Yuan Kew also said, all singaporeans of chinese decent should relocate to china and help it become like singapore.

When he was young, he also offered to take up the presidentship of PRC, as an additonal responsibility. (apart from being the premier of Singapore).

Imagine what PRC could be today, if they accepted Lee Kuan Yew's offer.

You must admit he was honest in his efforts; even tried to learn chinese language to better communicate with his to-be subjects in china:

Btw.. he's still alive. And can still do a better job than Xi Jinping has managed to achieve so far.

Worst case Scenario is MKIs having complete Air Superiority over Tibet Air Space and all PLA logistics shattered by the Brahmos.

So don't act in dreams and see the situation realistically.

Indian Army have deployed 10 out its 13 corps against Pakistan. As against 29 air bases against Pakistan, around 6 air bases guard against China. Out of 16 odd naval bases, 12 are against Pakistan on India’s western coast.

As against 9 odd Indian army divisions deployed against China, China has deployed 33 Divisions against India – much larger force than Pakistan has deployed against India. Though in case of war with Pakistan, most of the Indian divisions deployed against China are moved against Pakistan, as has happened before.

While against Pakistan, India has 3 strike corps, against China one is being raised. The additional Indian military raisings against China will not make much difference in the overall Pakistan heavy troop deployment ratio as against China.

The pattern of Indian armed forces troop deployment alone clearly indicates that Pakistan is being considered a much bigger threat than China. It also clearly indicates that India’s major military concern for future would also remain Pakistan centric and not China centric as Indian leaders often state.

we have deployed 2.2 lakh active soldiers on chinese borders(additional 1 lakh ITBP soldiers) vs 4.5 lakh chinese soldiers. That means china have just 2:1 ratio while they were 8:1 ratio in 62.

@Nassr

Pakistan has 4 wars with India. China one boundary skirmish (that wasnt even a full war).

Also Indian wants to Hold China (defensive position) and also you have the himalayas making difficult to attack India. Thirdly China has huge enemies sitting on other fronts like Russia, Japan and US. So China cannot commit too many forces on Indian front.

Against Pakistan Indian position is offensive as generally both sides trade territories after the war.

ITBP is a paramilitary police force.

What is the major change in Indian armed forces deployment ratio comparison between Pakistan and China. 80% against Pakistan and 20% against China.
