We should not get carried away, PLA and PLAAF are a different beast compared to Pakistan. Their AD network has layers onto layers and they have got strategic depth in Tibet which Pakistan doesn't. Their airfields close to Indian border have been hardened extensively since 2020 and they might even be able to sustain significant air operations from their deep airfields using Y20 refuelers (number of which are growing fast). PLA rocket force has arguably the most lethal TBM arsenal in the world.After the drubbing Pakistan received at Indian hands in the 2025 4 Day War, where most Chinese AD equipment was fou d to be wanting and inferior. I think the time is also ripe for India to kick PLA in Ladakh up north or in AP in far east. With Pakistan licking it's wounds in corner, I think a limited border conflict should send a message to Chinese that we will not tolerate continued transgressions into or salami slicing of Indian territory.
