It drills down to who fires first, as India's military resources are not expendable (and do not provide second strike capability) whereas in case of China they have industrial base to replenish most of its losses.

Pehle attack to hone do
It depends in which year the conflict is going on. Presently testing of land attack version of Brahmos is going on, so I have doubts about it's operational deployment. Even if deployed, do we have numbers to give a fitting reply here.Malay wrote:Our counter attack would be severely constrained because of the range of BrahMos-300Kms. We NEED to increase the range of BrahMos so that it can go for major air bases/HQ's etc inside China, not just Tibet.
And even to target the areas surrounding Tibet, our missile's would have to launch from Arunachal Pradesh, not good.
Well, just a observation:bhavani wrote:Sorry to be playing spoil sport, but wont normal fighters be used to intercept incomings subsonic CM's. The Mig-31 and Su-27 are supposed to have a substantial antii-CM capabilities. If we have a one hour time and we are able to track incoming CM's then Su-30MKI's can be used to intercept them. In the above scenario, our airforce could have used Su-30MKi's , Mig-29's and Mirages and LCA's also to intercept the incomings CM's given the one hour warning period.
Very true, the present industrial capacity even after expansion(of 50 missiles per year) is too low, and that would hold insufficient even if the range of the current BrahMos was twice of what it actually is!neerajbhandari wrote:Sorry I should have been more precise in putting down my opinion. By uncertain, I meant the numbers not whether it will be inducted or not. If this conflict is happening right now, then I don't think we have sufficient deployable Brahmos for land attack.
My mention of Agni-I and Agni-II was to highlight that ballistic missiles could be used too but here the irony is that Agni series is India's strategic weapon and can't carry conventional warheads (creating false impression of nuclear attack). Prithvi and Brahmos are the only weapons left in the armoury and as said by you they lack the range.
Also Vivek's scenerios show that India doesn't possess any weapon as of now to counter attack china conventionally apart from jet aircrafts. This really shows the importance of non glamarous looking subsonic missiles like Nirbhay.

fait accompli.“We stand and fight!”
The Himlayas and the North East region IMHO is a perfect terrain for a heavy presence of armed UAVs and UGVs.Shankar wrote:AGREED .as far as china is concerned we should throttle them on the high seas and defend our teritory in Himalaya with overwhelming fire power including air assets

How about this scenario to evade this massive cruise missile attack? the moment the satellites detect the cruise missiles launch, a counter punch is offered to the enemy. Somewhere near Orissa, three AGNI missiles are launched which head into space and slam into the chinese satellites. the cruise missiles lose their targets and slam into the mighty himalays. the chinese acts of aggression are deffereed and a quick salvo of brahmos give the PUNCH to the nearby army and airforce bases of the CHINx. the Chinx learn it the hard way, Indians are Smarter !!!
Only if the Chinx get the chance to do so .Vaibhav wrote:fxdean wrote:Hi Guys,
We will be bombed back to stone age if we use Agni as a pre emite strick against china.
