[quote="Singha"]tibet is a 1500km wide flat board with not a lot of places to hide . to get the point of biting deep into us, all of chinese assets have to come out on this board and maintain a moving supply line to the mainland. all within indian surveillance and strike capabilities. a chain can be broken or disrupted at any point in its long length. its a hard problem for any general staff. a single division needs 100s of tons of supplies daily else it will be combat ineffective and grind to a halt. if supplies are piled up close to the front before escalating, loses the element of suprise, our jaguars will have a field day mauling these depots.
secondly as the russians saw in afpak , the mechanized steppe/desert forces are vulnerable in the mountains and only a massive air dominance can somewhat reduce risk , hard to enforce over the himalaya vs india.
there are no other places where they can really bit into our flesh unless they can get Pakis to launch a war - this i am 101% sure the Pakis will deftly not agree to - they are not about to risk blood and treasure for some mythical promise of loot and plunder. if we isolate and hammer them , they could lose a lot at least cost to their chinese masters. even a lapdog knows when its time to get off and slink under the sofa .
thats noko and tsp trying to hide if usa and india get on their case properly. note the strong well muscled backside and wheat fed brown tail of our arabi biraders.

The picture is priceless Singha ji!

China is trying to undercut all other air carriers by offering lower price, which is attracting a lot of desi passengers. However, I would say that exercise caution, or if possible avoid all Chinese carriers. Check their customer service ratings online to get an idea. ...
Flew by Air China several times in the past, and every time there was an issue. There is no way to reach the customer service dept (the toll-free number never gets answered). Midway through the journey they bump off passengers citing flight cancellations (which that may be the case, they are doubly courteous to gora passengers, which leaving desi flyers high and dry).

Chinease Peacekeepers Did Nothing As South Sudanese Soldiers Raped Women
"On July 17, two armed soldiers in uniform dragged away a woman who was less than a few hundred meters (yards) from the U.N. camp's western gate while armed peacekeepers on foot, in an armored vehicle and in a watchtower looked on. One witness estimated that 30 peacekeepers from Nepalese and Chinese battalions saw the incident."
" 'They were seeing it. Everyone was seeing it,' he said. 'The woman was seriously screaming, quarreling and crying also, but there was no help. She was crying for help.'"
Re: Neutering & defeating Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
One must not read too much into the incident and extrapolating such act to the whole Chinese army. That is a risky thing to do and lead to a sense of false security.
We must be prepared to deal with them on the assumption that the Chinese are capable soldiers and fight for what they think is theirs.

Re: Neutering & defeating Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
SS sir, I think the Han in their over enthusiasm to establish their superiority over other yellow races never considered India as their rival. They were over obsessed with Japanese, still they consider Japanese as their rival though they were able to subjugate them with their economy. They still think of indians as Somalis who need bread. That is the reason for their hubris and condescension. Otherwise how can you explain their condescension towards India. There was no "string of pearls" strategy also, it was their natural tendency of creepy behaviour for which some learned analysts gave a name "string of pearls" in order to explain the threat of Han China, but when I asked some Han who are interested in strategic affairs, they never had India as a threat. Whatever little apprehension they had about India was that India could reach Lhasa much easier than the Han PLA, so they wanted to take Tawang desperately and they still want Tawang. But as far as the memory that India could be a formidable foe was erased in 1962.SSridhar wrote:
Since the 50s, China has considered India as an arch enemy and has been condescending about us.
China is confident that it can handle the USA and Japan once India is taken care of.
Also you said they will take care of Japan and USA after India is subjugated. Here also I have a different opinion. After 2008, the have concluded that they have subjugated Japan and the remaining foe is only one, ie USA. They never considered India as any power more than Philippines at all.
That would also explain the hyperbole we see in gobartimes. Except Hu Jintao (they conveniently forgot about Tibet till Hu Jintao made the claim for Tawang, even though PLA voluntarily vacated Tawang in 1962, but Hu Jintao understood that Tawang is the strategically important to deny India any threat to Tibet, in case), no other chairman really know what is the threat that India can pose to China in the Tibet autonomous region. Eleven is totally dismissive of India in TAR or he considers India as a threat or even a rival or even anything more significant than Philippines. To explain more accurately, they think that all Indians are under nutritioned, half-naked fakirs like MK Gandhi who would readily show their cheak to slap. The Indians are cowardly to behave like that by showing their cheak and say we are not for war, whereas they are really coward but good poor people. Their concern is really honest that they don't want to hurt Indians. That's the reason why gobartimes is asking us to back off, as the Han may end up beating the undernourished Indians. When you understand the Han behaviour like this, then we can explain everything that is happening in Doka Lam from Han point of view.

There is the incident of a Russian Special forces operative calling a airstrike on himself when surrounded by ISIS militants, it was suicide but ensured higher enemy casualties. That incident raised the Russian forces image, which is what the Chinese might copy for a small skirmish and claim victory. Except here it may not be the Chinese 'special forces' operatives calling in for support when surrounded by Indian forces but the rocket forces commander or higher chain of command making the decision anyways, the story that will be told is of Chinese love for motherland
And, if TSP cannot be counted in the moment of crisis, can it be counted to protect CPEC? the Chinese would want to know

We need to achieve air superiority over Tibetan air space with in the first 24 hours. While MKI and Mirage 2000 can take care of their fighters. We should use Jags to destroy their radar coverage and SAM threats. After that we should pound the PLA with PGMs before even IA visits them. Key strategy on our side should be to get IAF and IN involved the minute the first bullet is fired.

if we manage to integrate LORROS type sensor with anti aircraft guns, the sensor is placed on a watch tower, can subsonic CMs be targeted? this is similar to Jugaad where BSF deployed machine guns on remotely operated turn tables to check infiltration.
wonder what kind of impact it can have on a EMP warhead, and no knowledge if they have such warheads and if so their radio destruction range

Re: Neutering & defeating Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
This is a case of patience been considered weakness. One of the reason is probably the way we let Pakis get away every time they do a terror attack and in couple of months run off to do a peace talks. If we had publicly and regularly whip Paki a**, I doubt this perception would existing . This has probably led to a thinking that arming Pakis with missiles and nukes would keep Indians busy.TKiran wrote: To explain more accurately, they think that all Indians are under nutritioned, half-naked fakirs like MK Gandhi who would readily show their cheak to slap.

Re: Neutering & defeating Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
You don't even need air dominance. I've been to Nathu La (from Gangtok via Changu lake). It's a winding and narrow road with sheer drop on one side, and crossing a few bridges. In a defensive battle, all we have to do is to destroy it every 100m or so and it is pretty much impassable. I don't think other roads will be much better. No bridge laying equipment is going to cross over, nor can the JCBs. In an offensive battle, once we get to the flatter plateau, we can take advantage of apparently nice roads that Chinese have built for our mobilitySingha wrote:tibet is a 1500km wide flat board with not a lot of places to hide . to get the point of biting deep into us, all of chinese assets have to come out on this board and maintain a moving supply line to the mainland. all within indian surveillance and strike capabilities. a chain can be broken or disrupted at any point in its long length. its a hard problem for any general staff. a single division needs 100s of tons of supplies daily else it will be combat ineffective and grind to a halt. if supplies are piled up close to the front before escalating, loses the element of suprise, our jaguars will have a field day mauling these depots.

Request to mods please leave these comments if u can on this thread they are very relevant.
Here is my own first hand experience with chinese and koreans over the last 25 years in US.
very little interaction and low numbers in the first 5-10 yrs. Increasing nos and lot of interaction over the last 15-20 yrs.
I was removed from one hospital with no other reason except that I was an Indian by a chinese CEO. Rough interactions with chinese anesthetists over many yrs, only reason I am Indian and do not take no shit from these people.
Even the people that u help train can not be trusted(not all of course there are good ones). Every opportunity they try to sink u.
Chinese docs never sent a single pt in 10 yrs. Only earthly reason I am Indian.
Not just chinese but interactions with Koreans both north and south generally negative . koreans will help the chinese but not Indians
Japanese on the other hand are very helpful to Indians though my personal experience was limited but very positive.

Don't be fooled by the reports. Not everything is what it seems. Now the people who really matter i.e. Indian strategists and armed forces will not take this at face value and will be ever vigilant. For the sake of us arm chair generals, I strongly believe that PLA is a very professional and well trained force and will be very difficult to beat in case of one on one war for any country. Multiple fronts is a different scenario.DrRatnadip wrote:This shows real nature of chini soldiers..

Regarding the above reports, first of all we don't even know the authenticity of what is reported there. If those reports are indeed accurate, my theory is those were not real PLA soldiers. They were ordinary people picked up probably from prisons or other such places to be sent on UN missions simply to fulfill China's obligations to UN. They don't want to use real boot on the ground for missions like that and put PLA core in danger.

why are you so eager to give them a free pass without any proof of them being indentured criminals sent to serve? atleast do some r&d on which units of PLA or military police are sent for UN missions. generally no country sends 2nd string units to UN missions, esp when they are on the 'peaceful rise' and 'next superpawa' train.
none are extrapolating once incident into a whole army and this particular incident is probably a command failure and lack of initiative by the smaller officers. would be interesting to know how much freedom the JCOs, Lts and Majors are given in PLA - these are the men who win wars.

The nearest flat area available for massing high number of 155 Arty with mobility in mind is about 50 km from Dokalam Plateau. This is not to say that such pieces could not be assembled nearer but they will not be mobile placed in narrow valleys further south.

Singha ji, no need to get so excited and I have no reason to give them a free pass. I have had my share of cursing them for using pakisatan and every other means to subdue India. My only reason was to put it out there so that even on an online forum we are not complacent. As to the veracity of what I said, it was made clear, it is just a theory. Now I cannot prove that I am right but you cannot prove that I am wrong either. Finally we are talking about people who adulterate all sorts of things including food and even baby food. This kind of cheating is nothing for them.Singha wrote:why are you so eager to give them a free pass without any proof of them being indentured criminals sent to serve? atleast do some r&d on which units of PLA or military police are sent for UN missions. generally no country sends 2nd string units to UN missions, esp when they are on the 'peaceful rise' and 'next superpawa' train.

Re: Neutering & defeating Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
I doubt it. No reason to give more credit to the Chinese planners than is necessary. If indeed Doka La was feint for something else, they have spent a remarkable amount of time hemming and hawing about it. It is more than 2 months now....and nothing has happened. The Chinese strategists are not super-minds that all outcomes of a move are known to them ahead of time. In this case, I do think that they were surprised by Indian troops blocking their construction activity. I dont think they expected it and are hurriedly looking at options to get out of this jam. If they actually expected India to stop them, their reaction to it does seem un-prepared and haphazard.SwamyG wrote:Makes total sense.

Now that they are in a jam however, one can expect them to look for pressure points everywhere (as ulanbatori listed) and try to convert this crisis for them into an opportunity.
*: The only possibility of Doka La being a feint is that US-NoKo stuff started many months ago and was threatening to get hotter. They started Doka La after that (mid-May?), so one could argue this. But then, they had to be sure that India would put troops into Bhutan/China disputed area. This is unprecedented for India and so I dont think could have been sure of the response.

Air superiority is not really required. all you have to do is to take out critical parts of the 1500 km supply roads. China will have to create an airbridge to supply the troops.
The greatest threat does not come from Indian armed forces, but from economical warfare. Neither EU, Russia, Japan are particularly happy with the rise of China. In reality they are looking for an excuse to stop chinease growth.

One thing that I want to say here:
China must NOT get out of this unscathed. They have to pay a price for this.
If India lets them get out of this, this will only escalate in the future, when they are better prepared. And this will keep on recurring.
China is vulnerable in Tibet, they must be taught a lesson.

IMO, India should draw the straight line from north-east corner of Sikkim to northwest corner of Bhutan (per Bhutanese claim) and declare everything south of that a no-entry zone. Cut the roads, block reinforcements.
