Ladakh Centric Hotan AB Adds More Fighters ,AWACS and Choppers

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

Hotan AB has been in the limelight recently because of its close proximity to Ladakh. Hotan is supplemented by a few other PLAAF AB in the vicinity, some base H-6 Bombers in Kashghar and some J-11s in Nguri AB. PAF has been a regular visitor to Hotan AB on account of Shaheen Exercises.

Today some Indian sights counted more then 100 planes of different varieties in Hotan AB, much to their HORROR.

While the Indians may harp about how they have an advantage over the Chinese because their airbases are closer to the LAC, this is actually in the Chinese' favor. Having a lot of airbases close to the Chinese border means they are extremely easy targets for long range artillery, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and any other munitions the PLA could throw at it (which is a limitless amount).

The Indians' very weak air defenses, even when the S-400 arrives, will cost them dearly against these strikes. If the Indians decide to jam pack their airbases with aircraft, then you will witness something like the Six Day War or the first two days of Operation Barbarossa in the destruction of hundreds of IAF planes.

The Chinese on the other hand have left their closest air bases relatively unoccupied with aircraft, albeit with a very large SAM presence, as to anticipate an Indian first strike. If war comes, the PLAAF in Tibet, consisting of mainly older J-11 and J-10 aircraft, can immediately be reinforced by surrounding theatre commands. Meanwhile, the Indian strike force (assuming India attacks first), will suffer heavy losses from SAMs and Chinese fighters in these forward air bases all the while accomplishing little to nothing except inflict minor losses, which would have minimal impact on the PLAAF counteroffensive. By the time the surviving Indian aircraft have expended their munitions, they will find nothing but flames and smoke engulfing their home bases, courtesy of Chinese missile strikes.

Most of IAF expensive toys(Rafales) are just for show piece, they are not combat worthy for at least a few years.

The Raptor of the East for the Su-30MKI is the biggest joke ever

I am a firm believer that even PAF can single handedly outclass IAF. Imagine if PLAAF enters the scenario, IAF will be History.

Rafales, Su-30MKIs, and their air-launched cruise missiles will make short work of the J-11s and H-6s at Hotan. IAF brass probably already knows that J-11s have no air-to-surface capability and that the H-6s will be detected by the Rafale's AESA radar as soon as they take off.

India is in a prime position to pull of a Six-Day-War-style preemptive strike to ensure that the PLAAF contingent is out of action while IA artillery decimates PLA troops, much like what Israel did to her Arab neighbors in the namesake war.

lol . what about their air defence systems and electronic war fare equipment ?

Both of the aforementioned platforms are capable of launching anti-radiation munitions in conjunction with using their built-in ECCM.

There is a thread on IAF SU 30s and Rafales it may answer all your wrong assertions.

the point is rafael isnt battle tested neither it is ready to deploy .
su-30 had been a victim of electronic warfare (27th FeB). plus it has availability issues .
.
.
amount of planes india could deploy China could double it . plus their AWACS .
Air defence systems & continues threat of a 2nd front attack from Pakistan . after all Shaheen series exercise are done for these types of scenarios.
.
.
last but not the least what about their Rocket Force?
dont you think they will use the sector where they have a clear cut advantage over india .
.
you think you will bomb their Airfields and have 6 days bombing missions and they wont retaliate with their rocket force ?
.
what makes you think that theu wont bomb the hell out of indian defences , airfields and even cities?
i think you dont know that your national Capital (new delhi) lies with in the range of their Rocket Artillery.
.
.
lets not discuss Missile's Sector now .

The Rafale has been in training and forward deployment ever since the escalation of the border crisis in July/August. It is naive for anyone to think that the IAF wouldn't undergo at least some form of flight training prior to accepting their Rafales.

The escalation of the conflict via ballistic missile attacks yields as much of headache for China as it might for India, and to further complicate this issue would be the use of IAF AWACS and ballistic missile interceptors.

Now, it is time for your medicines.

So I take it that you've nothing more to contribute to this discussion?

Can't say I'm surprised.

General, after your great tactical war analysis. There is no room left for any further discussion, as you have already triumphed over your enemy with a clear victory.
