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- Air force outdated.
- Tanks outdated.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.
