The appearance of the PLA's "printing artifact" has made the outside world realize that the advantages of the Sino-Indian border are in the hands of the PLA, and when the Indian army discovers that something is wrong, it will no longer be able to turn the sky upside down.
The People's Liberation Army's "printing artifact" was unveiled to accurately hit the target
A new type of "printing artifact" exposed by CCTV, namely the Wuzhi-10 and its supporting new anti-tank missile, has attracted close attention from many parties. This means that the PLA has a new bargaining chip in resolving the Sino-Indian border issue.
The Wuzhi-10, as the "star" of the mainland's army aviation force, has begun to show its skills in the plateau area at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Imagine that in such a complex environment, the Wuzhi-10 can achieve normal deployment, which is not only a severe test of its performance, but also a silent demonstration of strength.
Using precision-guided firepower, the Wuzhi-10 is able to cut through the Indian army's defense system like a "surgical scalpel", especially those fortifications built against mountainous terrain. When the Wuzhi-10 aims at these targets, they are bound to be severely damaged. At present, the Indian army has not built a systematic field air defense system on the Sino-Indian border, so it is naturally unable to suppress the actions of the Wuzhi-10.

The new partner who appeared this time has greatly improved the combat power of Wuzhi-10. The new long-range anti-tank missile that appears in CCTV footage is different from the common AKD-10/10A anti-tank missile and uses a spherical white fairing design. It is speculated that the missile may use a guidance mode similar to the laser semi-active + millimeter-wave radar of the American-made AGM-179A (JAGM) joint air-to-surface missile.
No official details of the missile have been revealed, but military fans generally believe that it is a variant of the AKD-21 (Blue Arrow-21) missile. The Blue Arrow-21 is known for its supersonic and long-range air-to-ground attack capabilities, which can be mounted on helicopter gunships and reconnaissance and combat UAVs, and can be used for target indication through millimeter-wave radar and other technologies to achieve multi-target cluster strikes. The unveiling of the new missile means that China has kept pace with the United States and European countries in the technical fields of multi-mode guidance and multi-target strike.
There is no doubt that the appearance of advanced equipment of the PLA will have a far-reaching impact on the situation on the Sino-Indian border. For India, it urgently needs to revisit its defense system and consider how to deal with these high-end threats. At this stage, the Indian army's inadequacy in the field of air defense and high-precision missile interception has put it at a strategic disadvantage.

With China's multi-pronged approach, the overall situation of the China-India border has been decided
The complex terrain conditions in the border area have always been a contest between the two sides. However, with the advancement of science and technology, the PLA has been able to use air superiority to accurately strike the Indian army's ground defense facilities, thereby weakening the natural advantage of its terrain. This strategic leadership not only gave the PLA the upper hand in border operations, but also laid the foundation for victory in possible future conflicts.
In fact, China is making simultaneous efforts in many fields along the Sino-Indian border, and the military field is only one aspect.
In recent years, China has continued to improve its transportation system in its border areas, building a road network in most areas, building a number of dual-use airports, and building corresponding railways.
The construction of these infrastructure facilities will not only promote local economic development, but also help the PLA quickly deploy troops to safeguard the mainland's sovereign interests in the face of unexpected situations.

Of course, India is also building similar infrastructure, but due to limited construction capacity, various projects are progressing very slowly, and the gap between China is widening.
Previously, Western satellites have repeatedly photographed that the PLA has built radar stations and other facilities on the front line against India. In the future, once a conflict breaks out, the PLA troops on the front line can completely hold back the Indian army, wait for the support of the follow-up troops, and then carry out a full-scale counterattack. Today's India is also well aware that it is difficult to take advantage of the PLA if it really wants to go head-to-head.
As China moves step by step, India suddenly realizes that the general trend on the Sino-Indian border is irreversible, after all, the gap between China and India is there. Every move China makes on the border is a demonstration of its military prowess and strategic foresight.

In this complex international environment, it may be a wiser choice for India to see the situation clearly, no longer obsessed with a military stalemate with China on the Sino-Indian border, but gradually resolve the contradictions through peaceful negotiations. After all, if China and India, as two emerging countries, can focus more on economic cooperation and regional development, it will help improve their relations and have a more positive impact in the Asia-Pacific region.
