AJ's take on India facing China.
Negatives :
Wasn't ready. India thought they had to face Pakistan only.
Air force outdated.
Tanks outdated. They tried to build their own. But built it too heavy to protect their troops with thick armor. Too many people changing design. Budget going off limits.
Same for Navy. Tried to build their own carrier, but failing. Too much red tapes and not much move-forward leadership.
Positives :
Battle experience. They have fought the Pakistanis several times. China doesn't have any battle experience whatsoever.
US intelligence share they are garnering.
Their IT and 30 satellites beaming down images.
