China knows PLAAF doesn’t match IAF, and is strengthening its air defence along LAC. The government’s stance must stay focussed on punishment, not denial.
Canada faces serious foreign interference issues, but these challenges must not be weaponized to unfairly target friendly and important allies like India.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
The decorated Naga officer from Manipur also served as envoy to Myanmar & Nagaland chief secy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a museum dedicated to the Tawang hero Thursday.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Delusion writer and comments from armchair Indian warriors (mainly Hindus). IAF will get destroyed in one week by PLAAF. After one week IAF will have no planes left. IAF got 5 Rafales from France and Indians are dancing and singing as if they got 500 Rafales.
Dont forget IAF attempted to impress Modi by dropping a few bombs in jungle in Pakistan. They lost one aircraft (flying coffin anceint Mig 21) and pilot was captured by Pakistan. IAF is weak, poorly trained and ancient aircraft. Be careful or China PLA and PLAAF will destroy Indain army and IAF.
Note: I am Indian myself, but not delusional .
It is very clear from China’s actions that China will never give back the land it has grabbed without a serious war.
If war happens, all the countries in the world including U.S , Russia, France , U.K etc will get involved and try to stop it due to the chances of war going nuclear.
India should have taken advantage of this nuclear war possibility and immediately counter attacked in May instead of allowing the Chinese to set up more defenses. Not doing an immediate counter attack to get back lost land was a big mistake. Now the cost of counter attack has increased significantly. India cannot play the waiting game and plan for winter attack because Chinese positions are getting stronger each day. In addition, if change in leadership happens in U.S after November election, then the new government in U.S is likely to be friendly to China and will likely take lot of pressure off from China that is applied today in South China sea. So delaying any counter attack to get lost territory was a big mistake and if India wants to do it, it should not waste any more time.
China realizes India is the next shift for the supply chain. So it intends to distract India militarily and economically vis a vis the border incursions and possibly war.
But if India thinks China has any good intentions towards it, just ask why did China resolve all border issues with every country except India?
‘China realizes India is the next shift for the supply chain.’
That is typical Hindu wishful thinking. Yogi claimed he invited companies shifting from China to come to UP. None came. They went to Vietnam, Indonesia etc.
The only people investing in India are people like Facebook which realises there is a large Hindu market for fake news and hate speech.
Dear full mad chinese, YOUR ONLY CURE IS TO Cancel your chinese DAD and get an Indian dad.
On Feb 27th 2019 IAF could not escalate against PAF even after losing Aircraft & helicopter. PAF is 1/4 th in resources compared to IAF……………How is the author expecting IAF to dominate PLAAF??
You are right. When India had lost a pilot to Pakistan, India de-escalated. Otherwise, Pak would have kept the pilot, if India attempted to escalate, it would have led to more losses and it would have become an election liability. The Indian media pretended India won and Hindus believed it !
Immediately after getting a beating in Galwan, the Hindus kept a low profile. Now as time has passed they are trying to pretend that China is on the run ! Besides the BJP’s IT cell, 80% of the media talk as if the Chinese ran away.
It is vain Hindu bravado. With Pak, they got the pilot back due to Imran being a gentleman. With China, India is not going to get land back. Xi is not Imran.

What Vijay G says is absolutely correct. The so called defence experts are living in alternate world where money is never given a thought.
Also the author is day dreaming about Indias military capabilities against China.
Dare devilry suggested by this foolish man will ensure only one thing:Total defeate of india militarily followed by wast economic ruin.
Let us drop these stinky Chinese under-wears with Indian stamp on them to dustbin, tese are best suited in China.
Someone had been extra conscious for many years towards the kitty, nation has and could spare for arming the defence preparedness. Result is obvious. No procurement of strategic military hardware for 18 years. The chinks in the defence eco system are bothering the leadership, never to this extent.
Your point is indeed worth considering but in peace time. The country is pitted against a rogue state called Pakistan and expansionist China. You don’t spend in procurement of armaments and get subjugated and ask your new probable master to take care of the other requirements of the public or you fight back with disruption to your welfare schemes for some period and be victorious. This is definitely a hard choice but reality stings. Nations have preferred to starve for the sake of its victory, which India should also emulate.
You will not be starving living in America, but you demand Indians to starve to show your false Hindu pride.
rasgolla, already told you to change your chinese dad, so tell your ammu to reproduce you from an Indian dad under cover of her avaya, then you become a human from a D0NKEY.
Respected Mammohan Bahadur ji, Can you elaborate, when the land was lost? can he elaborate why roads to DBO not constructed in Manmohan singh Govt.?
PLA has far superior Electronic warfare systems and and synergised C4I. Moreover It will be quite difficult for IAF to sustain offensive or defensive role on northern front as it will suffer heavy losses…FD, FT, HQ and HHQ SAM missiles deter any airpower easily on such a limited depth of battlefield…
Great Usman, the pakistani, do you suggest us to runaway runaway ? We too have Agni, Brahmos, Pinaka, Israel on our side who are the best in the world in electronic warfare, which makes your country to pizz on pants? What are your basis behind taking PLA as superior? Are you a military or Air force general or a handsome Chinese pay packet or in Chinese cum pakistani sezx racket member?
Dear Chinese J0KER, use double undrwear for your protection
CHINESE JOKER, They don’t even seem to care about US airforce, WHO TOLD YOU ? YOUR M0M, WHO SWEEPS IN WHITE HOUSE?
It is possible that our combat aircraft and pilot training are superior to that of the Chinese at present.
However, the initial efforts would have to be seen in terms of how effectively we neutralize their SAM missile sites , since these are Russian origin weapons and highly effective against air targets. Also, how we neutralize any S-400 sites if any. Once that is accomplished, we can begin to assert our superiority over the J 17s, J 20s that the PLAAF deploys.
The experts talk about what should be done or what should have been done. BUT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY THAT IS REQUIRED. A lot of money that now will go in defense expenditure will be at the cost of something else.
The well meaning expert from every field wants the best for his field and justifiably so, but there is also someone looking at all the fields and needs to finally decide the priorities.
At the end of the day it is the trust in the ability of that someone. (1) Is he likely to make money for himself? (2) Does he talk nonsense? (3) Is he committed to his job 24×7 ?
What a non-sensical comment! Mr Vijay, will you be in a position to earn money when there is security lapse and there is terrorist attacks or in worst case, our country gets ravaged by war. Can your money be useful? If you want to really know the truth, then visit any forward area and see for yourself.
In fact our government should make it mandatory for every individual to serve the country for at least a year so that nobody ever thinks so about defence.
‘In fact our government should make it mandatory for every individual to serve the country for at least a year so that nobody ever thinks so about defence.’
No need. Mohan Bhagwat said he can mobilise his cadre in 3 days. That is a formidable force, the Chinese have nothing comparable.
Relevant questions all of them…but allow me to further qualify them….
More than money that is ‘required’, what we should be interested in is ‘where is that money going to’…’where will it circulate’….’who will benefit materially from all the expenditure’…..
as long as the answers to all of that, are sited in India, or for Indian interests alone, then it doesn’t matter…….
If i need to scrimp on my family’s needs, to ensure they stay alive and strong, and need to ‘spend’ for that instead of buying a new book for my son, it would help if i ensure that my spending benefits my all-time friends, than just the local bully or his friends.
You do see the analogy , don’t you?
Or is he just bullshitting 24*7 !
Currently India spends about 2.5% of GDP on military spending. In a scenario where China because the avowed enemy with naval and air bases in Pakistan facing India, then Indian military spending will probably need to jump to 4% of GDP. Most of that money will go to foreign arms manufacturers .
The air marshall writes that there should be indigenous production “the agenda of augmenting indigenous defence R&D and manufacturing capacities” but Indian defense production has shown itself utterly incapable of doing this.
