During this time, India sent about 1,200 Indian warplanes to the border between China and India and Pakistan to carry out an operation codenamed "Gaganshakti-2024". Although some Indian warplanes also went to the border between India and Pakistan during this operation, India's main target this time was to target China.
Since Modi took office, India's national conditions have changed a lot, and India's comprehensive strength is indeed on the rise, so people are confident that they also have capital. However, the Indian media is obviously overconfident, believing that according to the strength of the Indian Air Force, even if China sends the most advanced J-20, it is useless, and there is only one way to go.
Recently, India's retired air force marshal said frankly: India's Rafale fighter will have great hope of fighting China's J-20 in the sky over the Himalayas, and this time the J-20 will fail. As for the reason, because China's technology in avionics is significantly lagging behind Western countries, such as active phased array radars and other electronic equipment, this is the reason why the J-20 cannot beat the Rafale.
China has deployed various types of warplanes along the Sino-Indian border and is always ready
At the Sino-Indian border, India has been increasing its forces and weaponry, ready to respond to border clashes and even launch an offensive against Chinese territory. At present, there are almost five Indian armies stationed on the border, with a total strength of 150,000. Although it has been so much, India is still not satisfied, and not long ago it added 10,000 troops. Now, India has sent about 1,200 warplanes to the border, obviously to do something.
Not long ago, China and India held talks again on the border issue, but the Indian side still looked like it was making inches of progress. Just after the Chinese side rejected their request, the Indian army decided to launch this air force operation, which was nothing more than an attempt to deter China.
In this regard, the Chinese side was not to be outdone, and directly dispatched J-20 fighters to the border. The J-20 appeared at the border this time, not only to target the Indian Air Force's operation this time, but also to be stationed and fight a "protracted war" with the Indian Air Force.
When the J-20 appeared on the Sino-Indian border, it was followed by a full hangar. In addition, in addition to the J-20, military aircraft such as the J-11, J-16, Air Police-500, Attack-2, Wuzhen-7, and Wuzhen-10 are also intended to be stationed at the border to defend against operations that India may launch at any time and threaten China's homeland security.
In view of the combat strength of the Chinese Air Force and the development advantages of Chinese fighters in terms of performance and quantity, even the US Air Force has to admit that the Chinese Air Force is indeed very powerful, and sometimes the US Air Force has nothing to do about it.
The Chinese Air Force is well-trained, and although it has never had the opportunity to fight in real combat, it has lost the upper hand in almost every competition with the US Air Force. In terms of fighters, it is estimated that there are more than 1,100 third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation fighters above the J-10, of which more than 200 are J-20s. In addition, China has a complete range of bombers, tankers, electronic warfare aircraft, drones, etc., which can be used to support large-scale operations, and no less than inferior.
But the ridiculous thing is that from the top Indian military to the Indian media, it is generally believed that the Chinese Air Force is not good, and the J-20 cannot beat the Rafale. I have to admit that if you are cheeky, China is really willing to bow down!
The construction of railways can enhance the mobility of the PLA and promote economic development
If China wants to deal with India's military deployment on the border, it must not rely only on the air force, but also ensure that military supplies and troops can be transported to the front line of the border as soon as possible. This line, which has been planned by the mainland and is expected to be completed by 2025, is the construction of the Xin-Tibet Railway from Kashgar, Xinjiang in the north to Lhasa, Tibet in the south.
China has also made plans to make Tibet's railway network 5,000 kilometers long by 2035, connecting Xinjiang, Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces. In the event of a conflict on the Sino-Indian border, or even escalating to the military level, the troops, weapons and equipment of each province can be mobilized and transported to the Sino-Indian border at the first time.
However, in addition to improving the mobility of the Chinese military in wartime, it can also strengthen regional ties and trade cooperation in peacetime, thereby improving the economic development of each region. Therefore, the construction of the railway network is not only to deal with the Sino-Indian war, but also has greater economic significance.
In addition, during the construction of the railway network, China can also open up a railway link between Doklam and Aksai Chin. As long as there is this line, at the Sino-Indian border, India will not dare to be as arrogant as it is now. Because this line can directly allow the PLA to occupy the initiative on the border, so that the Indian army loses the initiative and can only retreat to a defensive state.
The reason why India keeps going against China is because they always feel that China will be the biggest stumbling block on India's rise. On the one hand, India aspires to be as strong as China, but on the other hand, India is very repulsive and does not want to follow the old path of China's rise, so their attitude towards China is always very awkward.
However, China has never wanted to stop India's rise, but has hoped to promote the common development of the two countries, but India is unwilling. If the Indian side continues to fight to the death, it can only be said that our side has now done a good job in the comprehensive deployment of the air force and army on the border, and as long as the Indian army dares to take the lead, the PLA will directly "raise the stick" and fight!
