If Delhi had large scale conventional stand-off strike capability, it wouldn't have to worry so much about escalation on the Tibet border. 3000 Nirbhay missiles for example would massively degrade Chinese infrastructure and war fighting capability, offsetting the conventional logistical disadvantage. India has not even tested thing yet, so the Chinese can continue to provoke with impunity.

Double Edge,
Does it matter whose lens the standoff is seen through? Inscrutability is the great characteristic of the Chinese. Whether there is factionalism in Beijing or not, China's neighbours need to be prepared for many more such incidents on land, sea and air. It is strategically counterproductive behaviour from China although that doesn't make it any more pleasant to deal with.

We do it too. Mechanization, Brigade Group, Task Force, Combat Brigade Teams.
In other words, we have this image of a glorious future and we going there no matter how much shit we go through. Never mind once it's all over, when we're in this glorious future, we still smell like shit.Chimo

indiatoday is a publication selling product and knows its readers well. I've never seen these indian pubs source known china watchers in their articles.
Give it a month, some of the talkshops will give a better idea.Last edited by Double Edge; 23 Sep 14,, 22:31.

Why can't we close our borders for Chinese products and let them know until they behave in the border they got no business in our country? I know we are not a big trade partner to them heck couldn't even be the top ten, but it will send them a message doesn't it. We haven't got much to lose anyway since it's China that takes the lions share in our bilateral trade with them.

Originally posted by Officer of Engineers View PostIt's a general broadcast. India is not the only tension spot. The next shooting war would most likely be with Vietnam. There might be an incident with Japan and two armies are still sitting on the border with North Korea. India would be very low on the shooting war totem pole. They're throwing beer at your troops, not grenades.

There is a counter here that it gives China a bigger peace of the pie and in turn allows them to gain an advantage over their neighbours without going to war. In the sense it forces them to acknowledge China's concerns. Ignoring them would piss the Chinese off royally. They want to be listened to and heard.

What you are left with are inconsequential members, the Philippines and Vietnam. India might join but China got her checked with Pakistan.Chimo
