You mentioned two words: important, mainland. Okay, let's ignore important, and focus on mainland. Which place in the mainland can they be expected to capture? Please don't change the topic to what Modi said and all that, let's talk about what you said earlier.Larry Walker wrote:Pls ignore the word important - even capturing an Indian village on the border will now trigger a confidence crisis because Modi went emotional and said that not one inch of our land will be lost to Chinese. Now with that very hard position, all capturing of G219 etc goes out of the window and now you got to focus all your might to defend. And in this day and age of OSINT satellite images, there is no hiding or obfuscation.arshyam wrote: Which important places in our mainland do you think they can capture?
The reason I reiterate is this, and others have said the same, it is not going to be cakewalk for the Chinese to even come more than 10km inside, let alone capture some "mainland" city. Heck, even Leh is a very tall order, if not impossible. This is not chest-thumping or hawa-baazi, even in the much forgotten '62 war the Chinese couldn't advance much in Ladakh. In Arunachal, yes they did, but it was also poorly defended with no means of supply. The contrast between our capabilities between then and now is like night and day, so let's give this a rest, please. However, if you still want to persist in this line of argument, then let's talk specifics - hence my repeated q above.
