Indian Army ready for two-front war with Pakistan,China: Gen Rawat

[Mrc]

Pak or china pay .... aik sir g kal strike idhar....aik sir g kal strike udhar

 

[Hindustani78]

he has not said he will attack booth China and Pakistan. However if they tey to attack us we can defend

Whatever indo China disputes there will be no war. Both countries are tooo big and worry about their respective economies to go to war.

Pakistan may have suicidal tendencies and will start the war and we can push back.

Also dont live in the hope that China will send its army to aid you during any war. Max they will supply you with weapons and intelligence

Indian Miliatry planners are well aware with the Chinese deployments in Tibet . Chinese are expanding thier military constructions in Tibet even when Indian establishment is trying to solve the border dispute by talks .

It said China had placed more missiles and fighter jets, besides airborne early warning and control systems, along the two border regions Tibet and Xinjiang.


Kanwa was reported to have quoted sources in the Indian navy and air force as saying Chinese troops had placed in Tibet the Jian-11, the Jian-10 and the Kongjing-500 fighter planes in rotational deployment.

And In the city of Korla in Xinjiang, China is seen as having deployed a troop responsible for the launch of midrange ballistic missiles, while in the oasis town of Hotan it had been deploying the J-10 and the strategic bomber H-6K, the report added.

The report cited unnamed sources as saying the large-scale military build-up was aimed at expanding a position of readiness in case of a confrontation with the Indian military.

Well the new Chief has clearly signaled that a second surgical strike cannot be ruled out. Read it as you wish.

We saw your response after the first strike. Let me be polite and say that no one here was impressed.

Sums up the mentality of indian nation.. Sir.g.kal strike..of hanuman army

 

[somebozo]

all i can say is 56 inch chest thumping..a two front war is a not a joke..even Nazi advance war machine could not stand it..given the stretch of India..its army would be annihilated in pincer movement from two fronts!

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

Mehbooba mufti today said "81" soldiers died in 2016.

indian army flexing musles.

In a two front war,

This will be the strategy.

Pakistan front:

Offensive ops by XVI corps, IX corps, II corps, X corps, I corps, XXI corps, XII corps

Defensive ops by XV Corps, XI Corps, XIV(8 Mtn div) .


China front:

Offensive ops: XVII corps, XIV(3 Inf Div), SFF division.

Defensive ops: III corps, XIV corps, XXXIII corps

He's delusional. India is no match for China conventionally and never will be. As for two fronts

India has a significant advantage in a defensive war with China, unless the Chinese have 8:1 numerical superiority like in 1962(a ratio which now they won't be able to replicate) Chinese offensive will stall in few days.

PLA’s war wherewithal on the Indo-Tibet frontline must be carted over 1500 kilometers from their logistic hubs at Lhasa and Kashgarh, which in turn must be stocked from central China, a further 2000 kilometers away. The entire logistic connectivity by road, rail, pipeline and air depends upon tenuous lines of communication and static staging yards, all situated over a terrain that is completely open, devoid of local resources and subject to such extreme conditions as it must obtain at 4300 meters of average altitude and sub-zero cold almost throughout the year. Even if China has engineered her transportation capacity to 24000 tons a day and therefore stated to be able to build up 30 divisions, including formations already in place, in 30 days, and sustain this force in war indefinitely, such theoretical calculations may be valid under ‘test conditions’, in practice this will invariably not be so. No doubt, the whole system of induction and sustenance for PLA’s field forces in war would be ripe for interdiction by air power and special operations.

On the Indian side, the terrain south of the 4300 to 5400 meter high Himalayan passes, constricted and snow-bound most of the year, is characterised by razor-sharp ridgelines, steep slopes and narrow, gorge-like valleys generally running North to South. The Indian logistic installations are between 350 to 400 kilometers in depth, and therefore, in terms of turn around time, comparable to that of the PLA in Tibet. Road axes connecting Indian foothills to the Indo-Tibet Border, being aligned more or less along the narrow valley floors, are extremely difficult to interdict by air or ground fire; these are targetable only in some stretches and even then require super-skills, high-technology and load of chance to score effective hits. Notably, scope exists to make such hits even more ineffective by means of modern methods of camouflage, deception and repair.

To undertake offensive operations in such terrain, PLA formations have to confine to constricted valleys that are hemmed-in by successive ridge lines, thus limiting the scope for tactical level lateral manoeuvre. At the operational level, axes of offensive have to remain isolated from each other, while envelopment and turning movement, besides inviting risks of entrapment, would entail such heavy logistic back up as to be prohibitive in terms of resources and time. Further, some distance down the Southern slopes into Indian territory, the terrain closes down to subsume the advantages that heavy weaponry and high-technology might bring to PLA’s offensive. Indeed, the ground is heavily biased in favour of defensive operations - if conducted with aggressive intent.

We have reasons to believe that mother earth has not been overly supportive of aggression from Tibetan Plateau across the Himalayan Passes into India. Indeed, any PLA offensive across the Indo-Tibet Border has to contend with an adverse terrain anomaly: its build-up and spring-board areas straddle a ground that exposes its war machine to disruption by inhospitable elements as well as air and ground attack, while its offensive across the watershed passes would be beleaguered by a ground that favours classically conducted defensive operations. Indeed, PLA’s offensive across the passes would have to fight ‘friction of terrain’ and ‘tension of logistics’ before engaging Indian forces - with “General Snow” ever ready to cut off its lifeline.

Therefore, even if the PLA commits overwhelming number of formations to its offensives, as to how many of these could actually be employable - along limited, narrow axes, and against successive lines of defences, remains a moot point to consider.

In addition an offensive by India's XVII mountain strike corps would further divert PLA forces.

He is a very controversial army chief. Just proving his credentials right with such kind of statements.

 

[Areesh]

He is no more controversial than Qamar Bajwa who was chosen over three senior generals.

`
Poor attempt.

Qamar Bajwa is a professional and Pakistan has a long history of choosing less senior general. This is nothing new here, And there is no controversy on him being army chief.

This is only the second time in Indian history that a junior has superseded to become army chief.

He is so controversial that even his sword of honor from Indian military academy is controversial for many in Indian army.

Poor reply.

A long history of choosing less senior General actually does not demonstrate professionalism.

The controversy regarding Gen Rawat Sword of honour is just as fake as Qamar Bajwa being an Ahmadi claims(or just as real in some opinions).

However all this is an entirely different topic to which I would love a discussion in a separate thread as the topic doesn't match with this thread.

We chose whom we consider the best for the job.

The appointment of Rawat is most controversial in past many years. Even his sword of honor is controversial. That is the worst part of all. He has a baggage. And with such jingoistic statements he is trying to remove that baggage.

All controversy surrounding his appointment is manufactured just like Pakistanis says controversy regarding Gen Bajwa appointment is fake
