If you are aware of this then why post in negative manner? Every single aspect of life be it in work, business or war conflict, the positive attitude is first and foremost requirement. You will will not go far without a positive outlook or approach. You need to be confident about your own strength and apply it correctly.
Being confident and being foolish are too very different things, one must make a good and well planned decision before we are confident in its results, you cannot make a dumb decision and say we should be positive when we have the option of making a better one.
Therein lies the mistake in your take, you are easily swayed by opinion of the opposite side who want to destroy you. Ever thought why is that & why not admit their losses which is obvious with proof? because the adversary approach is always for morale upkeep of their population. That is why they have to fabricate and photoshop to create own stories. During war that would not stop their forces from dying & like always they will bend knee very swiftly when the going gets tough. Same logic applies to chinese as well.
I didnt make any mistake, you did. I didn't mention anything about operation sindoor but about events after balakot when babu's with your mindset allowed a 3rd generation jet to intercept enemy 4th generation jets, what was the result? This lack of critical thinking is why our jet was shot down and our pilots captured. If we wont even equip our pilots with the necessary equipment to take down our adversaries, what are we even doing at this point?
No, we are not fighting 2 front war, rather we have a threat from 3 different fronts altogether each of which is with own natural topography challenges. Our armed forces know this very well and they also prepare for the same. In fact every armed forces do the same.
I was only talking about the major military powers our military has to face, if not, we are nearing a 3.5 front situation in the future.
About the jets, I question the approach you have in mind vis-a-vis why we have to take the same approach. That is if China put 5th or 6th gen jets, we have to do the same by flying same category of jets. This part is the lure, an arms race without fighting a bla bla bla...
This is completely laughable, the entire modern world, USA, China, UK, Japan, Korea, Turkey, France, Russia all are pouring billions into 5th and 6th gen technology because it changes combat outcomes. Stealth, BVR dominance, sensor fusion etc arent fantasies, they defined the last 20 years of aerial warfare. F22's 144-0 kill ratio against other 4th gen fighters, f35 remains undetected longer in multiple real missions, j20 patrolling near our borders aren't fantasies.
Arms race trap, we should not match China.
This logic is suicidal,
Deterrence does NOT work by
being weaker and hoping “mountains will save us.”
Deterrence works by making the enemy fear the cost of attacking. When china fields stealth jets, awacs saturation, long range pl-15 and pl-21 missiles, drone strikes etc
And you show up with 4th gen jets hoping “terrain” will help, you lose the skies.
Lose the skies = no CAS, no supply lines, no troop movement, no surveillance, no artillery coordination.
Ground warfare collapses
instantly without air superiority.
You don’t avoid an arms race by a positive attitude,
You avoid it by maintaining credible parity so the enemy never tries anything.
We as a multi cultural country with limited resources & lower GDP certainly can not be part of any such arms race.
India is a nuclear armed 4 trillion dollar gdp with 80 billion defense expenditure and fastest growing g20 economy, if turkey, korea and japan can develop 5th gen jets, so can us.
India doesn’t need matching tech, just punishment capability.
Punishment capability requires entry into defended airspace. Without stealth or sensor fusion you cannot enter a zone defended by:
HQ-9B, JY-27A anti-stealth radar, J-20 CAP patrols, modern EW,
Try sending Su-30s into that without stealth.
They’ll be painted long before they know what hit them.
Punishment requires survivability, and survivability requires 5th-gen tech.
You wants us to fight a 2035 war with 1999 tools.
