According to a recent news report by Reuters, on April 10, local time, Indian Prime Minister Modi pointed out that China and India have been protracted on the border issue, and this kind of problem should be solved quickly. Judging from Modi's statement this time, it is necessary to make a quick solution to the border issue, but India has clearly lost its previous toughness. In recent years, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also tried to flex his force against China on several occasions, including participating in a series of military exercises in India and even taking a test ride in India's homegrown LCA fighter jet. India, which has the backing of the United States and has also purchased a large number of Russian-made weapons, also believes that it can compete with China after having two aircraft carriers and external forces, but it is obvious that India has relented from the current attitude.
India now wants to bring the border issue to a quick resolution, and it seems to be soft-hearted from the tone, but does India really want to back down? Some time ago, the Indian Air Force has mobilized 10,000 soldiers and a large number of advanced combat forces to conduct an all-weather military exercise, which lasted about 10 days. In this military exercise, in addition to the advanced French-made Rafale fighter jet, the Russian-made S400 long-range anti-aircraft missile was also used. India has made it clear that it wants to simulate a response to the PLA through this all-weather military exercise. India's purchase of Rafale fighters is a little unfamiliar to the PLA, but now Serbia has come with a good news, Vučić announced that he will buy 12 Rafale fighters from France, although China's J-10 did not get a chance in the process of export arms sales, and this is also out of consideration for flattering Western countries, but in fact, Serbia has China's FK-3 air defense missiles and Hongqi 17A field air defense system, and the purchase of Rafale fighters is tantamount to giving China's two air defense weapons a chance to practice。
The use of two different systems of weapons and equipment for military exercises is a common practice in many countries. In today's Indian military exercises, there are S400 long-range anti-aircraft missiles and Rafale fighter exercises, in the future, if Serbia obtains Rafale fighters, in the joint exercises with FK-3 air defense missiles, in fact, it can also make the PLA's Hongqi-22 air defense missiles in the process of dealing with wind fighters to gain more experience, and as an export version of the FK-3 air defense missile has been compared with the domestic Hongqi 22 air defense missile has some performance decline, as long as the FK-3 air defense missile has the ability to counterattack against the wind fighter, then the Red Flag 22 and Hongqi 9 should not worry。
Serbia's rumor of the purchase of the French Rafale fighter is actually good news for China, because in the future defense cooperation with Serbia, China may be able to gain more experience in dealing with Rafale fighters. Just as Modi was seeking a quick solution to the border issue and Serbia was buying Rafale fighter jets, news broke out in Hotan, Xinjiang, that Hotan Airport had become the first dual-runway airport in Xinjiang. Hotan Airport is not a simple civil aviation airport, but a military-civilian airport, and this airport has become a dual-runway airport, which also means that the efficiency of the Air Force's fighter sorties will be greatly improved.
Hotan Airport has previously been exposed by foreign media to have J-20 stealth fighters, and it is also an airport quite close to the Sino-Indian border. With the batch equipment of the PLA J-20 stealth fighters, if the airport here undergoes a lot of expansion, and more J-20s are stationed in the future, it will be a great headache for India. Judging from India's strength, India does not have fifth-generation aircraft, so it does not have the strength to use Rafale and Su-30 fighters to respond to the J-20. Text/Iris
