What you miss is chinese employing same tactics will involve accurate missiles. Have our generals ever g8ven thought that 8n war, we might have our bases hit by barrage of missiles and they may be put of operation. In that scenario what shall be our move?

I remember a 2017 or so paper which estimated that the entire PLARF would be needed to knock out  two IAF bases for 24hrs. Even assuming this is too optimistic, the IAF follows a policy of distributed air launches. They have created several small airfields to reduce the importance of large bases.

We tested these concepts in a wartime simulation for the first time in Gaganshakti 2018. If you were to read the reports of training exercises since then, every single one mentions the use of small airfields.

A lot of people here also assume what starts off on the LAC will remain there . A good deal our major cities , mfg centres & bases are within 500 kms of the LAC whereas that's not true about China. What if they start targeting them indiscriminately ? Do we have deterrence against it or ADEQUATE tools to retaliate ?

Those drawing our attention to N weapons ought to know no GoI is going to use them even if they manage to be ballsy enough to threaten usage of it for the simple reason the Chinese will laugh us out the way we laughed out Paxtan once Balakote was undertaken.

Do you see any mention of N weapons now by anyone from chaprasi upwards to the politicians the mullahs or the PA today the way we used to in the past especially after they had executed an outrage here threatening retaliation if we got even ?

As far as the Air Force goes what exactly do we have that can go up against their J-20 + J-16 combination leaving aside the numbers & other models they can throw against us not to mention their ADS or ISR capacities including space based systems or their bombers or Refuellers in the air apart from their proven industrial capacities ?

The best part about it is our armed forces & government are going about life as if it's business as usual . Forget the IAF which at this point is screwed & will forever be in defence mode being too small & scattered to make any difference but has anyone considered the IA & it's procurement of basic stuff what to speak of artillery whether tube or gun among other offensive systems ?

I could go on & on with this rant. Trust readers get the drift here.
