'PLA Air Force Is Being Built For Strategic Coercion,' Say Former IAF Officers

abhik

I'm still inclined to believe that we don't hold Black top (which is on their side of the LAC, and they literally have observation post on the shoulder plus a road from both sides) - as reported by Nitin G and others. We did however beat them on a race to capture the ridge line to the south of the l...

I believe in Baba in this case, there is not much of psyops and moreover he is the one with the most authentic info. BTW, what makes the Chinis superhuman that we cant capture Spanggur lake ? Going by sat images they have a large number, probably a whole brigade sized force camped on the south bank...

There is a significant increase in the PLA deployment in one of their camps in Depsang in the past 2 weeks (going by the number of tents visible in sat images), wonder if these are new forces added to the theater or existing ones getting moved around.

There is a mounted low recoil 155/39 also if I'm not wrong (I'm guessing they are not pushing it as much due to it having US tech).

I'm happy the IAF is getting something, although I'll hold celebrations till the deal is actually signed. In India there are usually several years between the headlines "IAF/IA is all set to get X weapon system" and "Contract signed for X weapon system". Secondly, I'm not sure w...

Hotan is at 1,380m. Bangalore is 920m. Yup exactly. Only airfields in Tibet proper have the altitude problems (like Nagari at ~4,200m).
