One salient thing to remember - the Mega-dam that China is building in Tibet - its in Medog county, right across from the Border of Arunachal Pradesh. And we control the ridgeline that oversees Nyingchi City.
So its actually a strategic noose around China's neck - given the precision munitions we have and the closeness of the actual Dam logistics, we can pin-point bomb its power distribution,so that the dam is working just fine, but the region 5-50 km from the dam where all the power transmission infrastructure will be, is gone bye bye. The topgraphical map of tibet is clear-cut in this part to know how the actual power distribution lines will be laid and no, they aint crossing 5km tall Himalayan snow peaks - because building them may be a glory-shot for Chicoms, but maintaining them is an ass thing to deal with long term.
The reason there is so much Chinese propaganda about Indian missile and ammunitions and this performance is because it has the Chicoms nervous - they know we can do Operation Sindoor on them over tibet if push came to shove- so ofcourse, we wont do it like we did with pakistan, we will do it only when China tries to bully us militarily and thinks time is right to bite of another chunk from India in 1963 part 2.
This changes their calculus too- remember, Himalayan air combat is a very different beast and Indo-Chinese air force standoff wont be an Indo-Pak air force standoff where you have radar tracking of all airborne target- you are playing peek-a-boo over a 6km tall range and basically you are not able to detect platform - you detect missile only after launch, which is very bad, as you have very little time to react as you didnt see the Su-30 come to you like the Paks saw it come towards them with THEIR radar- as its flat terrain and they can see into us as we can see into them.
So if Chinese are not sure they can stop
and Scalp, their entire war calculus against India changes, as they wont be able to prevent an Operation Sindoor on their tibetan infrastructure and it may turn into China losing Tibet over trying to do 1963 part-2. This is the main thing that has Chicoms worried.
