Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
Newbie questions. Arent Chinese Sukhoi clones in Tibet more of fighters than mud movers with mud moving roles given to H6 bombers? If yes, does the payload restriction apply for A2A loadouts as it does for A2G? If it does not, then isn't PLAAF pretty good in air defence role with mud moving to H6 fl...

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
Yes they can but on normal days when China is behaving well, it will have an impact on Nepal while China continues to make money either way through tourist. China being unhappy with the Lipulekh road, also triggered an unhappy Nepal to lay claim on the region.

Unlike the Tibet side where China has a perfect road to the border, the Hilsa border was reachable only by Heli ( as we did) or 2 day Trek from Simikot in Nepal. Similar story on Li...
