India vs China war: current scenario and possible outcomes

[Star Wars]

There is not going to be any war...... India has fortified the area, and closed the window of a skirmish.... India will not fire a single bullet until it is forced to..... The question is who will blink first....... The best option is winter.... in which both can blink together....

Well I would say India played it cards pretty well......

Threatening India with war for almost 2 months and not acting on it was a extremely stupid thing to do. In 2 months, we have possibly fortified the area, gathered Intel on Chinese forces, sent reinforcements, setup supply lines, increased our war reserves. etc...etc...

China is playing it smarter here. The USA, primed with the internal schisms, is getting bogged down with NK under the umbrella of yet another "missile crisis" - this time with an "analog" knob!!! They need to negotiate with China to dial it to a tolerable range!!! Forget about Japan, SK etc.!!! In the economic front, dependence on China is growing at an alarming rate!!! In the past Chinese companies' projections were to work for the USA - now, it's reversed!!! Don't know whether there'll be a physical war or not, but conjectures are going to China's favor IMO...

And how do US-China relations have anything to do with this standoff? Fact is, for 52 days now China has been unable to enforce its claims.

 

[Star Wars]

Yup, the element of surprise is totally gone for China and they have lost the initiative. To think they could surprise the Indian positions now is pretty absurd.

Someone within the PRC, set Eleven Jing ping up royally. Now if China does attack, its going to get a bloody nose and if China does not, Xi will get a bloody nose. I think Global Times is possible being controlled by some of Xi's rivals..

Indeed and I think it will have lasting consequences. In the past, many in the Indian media (and by extention population) saw China as being omnipotent with the Indian mil being unable to hold its own in the East but only to act reactionally. Now it has been demonstrated that the Indian military has nothing to fear from the Chinese and it is more than capable of taking the initiative- this will only embolden the military, civlian leaders and populace.

Additionally, the countless empty threats China has issued has had a desensitising effect- no one is going to be overly concerned the next time China makes xyz threat.

China has undermined its own position drastically in this saga and I don't think it will ever be able to recover.

LOL, that's one of the few explanations that makes sense as Global Times is simply mocking the PLA with every hate filled op-ed calling for war with nothing changing on the ground. Global times (and other state media) is really adding more humiliation to this entire affair.

I don't know if there's going to a war, hopefully not, but deployment is still ongoing... At the end, China & Bhutan will settle our border issue & have normal diplomatic relations. That road will be build, eventually connecting Bhutan.

 

[ashok321]

Some emotionally charged Indians here are full of rants & rhetorics over Chinese threats.
Not knowing that India is worst than China in issuing such threats.

So why are they out to ridicule the Chinese?
They want to pre-empt them.

The disconnect between reality and these delusions is quite alarming.

Probably localized skirmish is a possibility. Neither India or China want a full fledged war, as both are nuclear powers.

PRC can't win a skirmish. It's biggest advantage is that it suffers lower attrition. PRC needs to expand it to a conflict more than a skirmish. May be less than war. But India will win a conflict of a week or two.

Bangladesh, Burma, China, Pakistan, & Sri Lanka should form their own Cold Start Doctrine. Attack India hard & fast, while supplying rebels in India at the same time, and return to their border post before India can retaliate.

If India can't fight their own wars and begs the U.S. for assistance than why should China & Pakistan fight their own wars?

Bangladesh, Burma, China, Pakistan, & Sri Lanka should also make an alliance stating that if one is attacked then all will attack the aggressor.

 

[Gurjot.S]

Only objective is to divert indian attention towards indo-china border and then relieving pressure form pakistan.
Forcing india to increase military expenditure. Like it or not, whole scenario was pre planned by china.

Feels like star wars story ... How funny, woke up and smell coffee..

I have few questions regarding India vs China War

Indian usually say that they are in advantageous position in Doklam. As they are in high ground and then backed by mountain divisions.

1. If that the case then why China will use ground troops when they can use long range artillery and missiles which they have in numbers. After missiles attacks they can try to get air dominance on that area.
2. As its a mountain area, the missiles can target bridges and road passes as there will b fewer roads leading to this area. Uptil now there is no artillery deployed by India. China has already deployed HQ17 in tibet area and they ave alot more long range Sams in case india will use brahmos.
3. Indian Claim is because china air fields on high ground so planes can not use full load. But how about using air refueling in air and also they have alot more jets they can use numbers on its advantage.
4. India has to import of its spare parts so ofcurse it will dent their war capabilities incase war prolongs.
5. in an other scenarios if US will provide more weapons to India. then where Russia will b?
6. How many resources india can divert from Pakistan and Bangaldesh border.
7. What IAF how many squarden it can bring in case Pakistan just heat up LOC or just show some intent to distract India. As i believe it will b Air war and missiles skirmishes rather than troop bases initially as restricted by the area with high mountains passes.

Though its not accurate

I will appreciate constructive discussion over here keep in view past and updates of military and diplomatic approaches from both sides.

@jhungary @Oscar @hellfire @Feng Leng @wanglaokan @Horus @HAKIKAT @Hindustani78 @Abingdonboy @SarthakGanguly @ashok321 @TaimiKhan @TaiShang @TaimiKhan @MastanKhan whats your view guys.

Let me know incase you guys want to add additional scenarios and information.

@WebMaster plz keep trollers away from this thread.

Hi,

In this scenario---if the Paf had an aircraft of the type of JH7B---2 sqdrn's of them---would have created a critical problem for the opponent.
