Kapil Sibal has seen the writing on the wall. With Yogi going very strong in UP and popularity of Modi remaining intact during Covid and improved after Galwan, most Congo ecosystem folks without mass following have decided to call it quits to avoid having to deal with ED, CBI and other agencies.

Chellaney is not someone to unnecessarily lose his credibility. There is a good chance that he may be intentionally (or even with unofficial encouragement from powers that be) to build a narrative of pressure on govt to act. There are benefits to such a strategy.

There is strong SM charter about 3 Lt. Gens and 60 officers who seem to have been dismissed and two of the generals have been announced as missing persons! Coup attempt against Bajwa?

Any chatter on it in paki forums or media?

Indian govt should make KoiOS based phones and provide basic apps either made by GoI or made by Indian industry and vetter by GoI. Govt can fully control Internet and data usage on those phones.

Ramana Sir, not clear what role CDS played, but this event would be most helpful in evolving the working model for CDS. Several gaps from surveillance to intelligence sharing to inter service collaboration would have come out in the open for them to be resolved and improved upon. This would also rei...

All indications are that India is not being complacent. From conducting night time war exercises (how good are Cheen airforce and hlps in night warfare) in Ladakh to expediting Ladakh road construction very publicly, India is not giving any space to Chinese or internal Chinese to spread FUD and save...

I would imagine Cheen is pumping millions of USD to buy out corrupt Nepali politicians.

Long term, India needs to accelerate the internal unraveling of Pakistan so that it stops being a threat. One misses the good old days when their TTP would raid PAF base and take out a few airplanes or take out an ISI HQ. The Balochi freedom fighters, while brave, haven't been able to mount spectacu...

Just order more of F414, in exchange for healthy offsets in India, availability of spares and quick servicing. Standardising on few components simplifies the supply chain, cross cannibalization when needed (let's say future sanctions) and most importantly maintenance and skilled manpower logistics.

Right now, I'm relying on Google Maps delineation of the LAC, and I have no clue how they came up with it, so I don't trust its veracity except in the general sense. I posted a few ss from Google maps earlier in this thread. Google seems to be showing the Chinese claim line as the LAC at least in s...

Chinese FM Wang Yi is holding talks with NSA Ajit Doval, bypassing EAM S Jaishankar who would be his normal counterpart. A cheap tactic to create division within our establishment, but what he may not have realised is that the Indian side works as a team, and Doval is a way more harder nut to crack...

Currently all the measures taken by Govt relate to national security - Apps (data security, intel and market access), Infra projects (infra security and intel), power equipment (energy security and intel). Even if we were to give up one or two of these as part of the settlement, it's a less desirabl...

The digital companies have over inflated share prices and many CCP top echelons would indirectly own stake there. India's digital surgical strike meant they would have lost hundreds of Million USD. Besides global digital domination is a key strategic aim of CCP. They cannot get there without world's...

It is very important for the App ban to continue for atleast 1 more year so that good desi alternatives get established. Even after that, Govt should ban app bundling by OEM which would favor Chinese who control 80% of the market. Otherwise whenever the ban is lifted, all Chinese apps will be back w...

If they have tunnelling machines, they may create all weather, middle and artillery proof ammo dumps and other storage facilities inside of the mountains to prevent tents from getting washed away in floods. They may also try tunneling into the ridge protrusion around finger 3 to enable a motorable w...

The true brahmastra India has is to subtly threaten their merchant vessels. A proclamation by unnamed official sources that war in Ladakh will extend to Malaca straights would be sufficient. What Cheen fears most is the flight of capital and manufacturing capacity out of China. It hurts them in mult...

The idea might be to leave the COIN operations to CAPF such CRPF and free up RR for border operations in case of two front war.

schinnas

The hesitation is also because we have an increasing Coronavirus problem that is hurting the economy and govt coffers while Cheen has mostly brought it under control and Cheen economy seems to be back on track. Or GoI may want to have winter on its side in addition to the assistance rendered by the ...

China's MIC advantage can easily be blunted by destroying their key logistics route and few airfields near the border. Then ruthlessly impose *HUGE human cost* on the enemy army concentrated near the LAC and wage a psyops with it so that enemy loses face internally and externally and trigger a civil...

Some posters are projecting China as a better country than colonials. China is the worst and ruthless colonial that hasn't progressed it's mindset unlike other former colonial powers.

Regarding NRao's options. India should do both option #2 ( we have to do our own fight) and also Option #3 in a guarded way. We shouldnt shy away from pursuing equitable alliance and pacts for intelligence sharing, force multiplier arms and hitech weapon supply and naval coordination. In turn get th...

While China's manufacturing base is undoubtedly large, it does not directly translate into big gains in mountain warfare. Their airforce, logistics and mechanised forces will all face the mighty Himalayan wall. The choice for India would be to increase their human casualties and release the numbers ...

All this talk about rockets and cruise missiles miss the point that inaccurate missiles are not worth their production cost. Accurate missiles are very expensive (Million USD+ per piece) and long range ones are even more so. It would take several dozens of such missiles to take out a large commerica...

Maybe INC wants to rush GoI into precipitate frontal action to evict the PLA in the F4-F8 area, where we are currently at a disadvantage. Such an action is likely to be a stalemate, leaving PLA where they currently are. This would be tom-tommed by INC as Modi having lost that land. While the area i...

Xi is not some two bit crackpot dictator or a clueless idiot that is new to power like IK Niazi.

Gen Hasnain suggests two main strategic objective of Cheen + Pakis, at least the way I interpret it. 1. Defensive. Safeguard PoK and GB from India. Why that is important? - Warm water access for China to Arabian Sea and land connectivity between China and Pak (CPEC is just a part of this). Equally i...

The first chapter of the "Art of War" has the following tenets: 17. According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one's plans. 18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we ar...

If and when war breaks out, Chinese will fight from Pakistan border. It makes no sense for them to use their airforce from Tibet but Skardu and other bases offer good altitude and logistics. Any war with China from now onwards will be two front war given Pakistan is officially a Chinese colony now. ...

With all the attention on LAC, it seems India isn't lowering the guard on LoC. Pukis continue to get their regular dose of fire from IA and hunting down terrorists in Kashmir is at an all time high.

IMO PM’s statement about no Chinese occupying Indian territory had to be referencing Galwan - otherwise it doesn’t make sense (forget about the lake - what about Aksai Chin etc). There is no way he would give it up in a speech like that. I think a 1 line clarification from FM or something like that...
