Nope, wrong point. India cannot be pressurised by Chinese firepower when the bases in Andaman pretty much allows India unlimited firepower. No CBG of China will ever match that. India can bring in plenty of firepower on to those bases from the mainland, nothing stopping us. India will always dominate the IOR, geography pretty much guarantees that.
Indian Ocean is massive - many thousands of kms.
India can control portions up to say 500KM out but not beyond.
Anyway, who is talking about a confrontation or conflict. I was making the point that apart from the US, the Chinese are likely to soon start sending CBGs into the Indian Ocean that would be comparable in firepower to Indian Navy
1. to sucsessfully control IOR as you call itchinese first have to neutralise Indian navy and i guess you have no idea what your talking about but every one has a right to dream so you can dream too![]()
Nothing further to say after this comment.
