Well done video! You have taken into account one of the two elements most analyst's miss. The one you took into account was the international alliances. The one that you hinted at but did not actually articulate is the ability to think outside of the box. The PRC is a totalitarian state that does not encourage outside the box thinking. As a former intelligence analyst in the US Army Reserves who has been deployed to a combat zone I can personally attest to the importance of outside the box thinking along with being homest with with oneself regarding ones own strengths and weaknesses. India, like the US has after action reviews down to the platoon level. Everyone gets a chance to speak. This simply does not happen in the PRC.
It was for these 2 reasons why I had initially predicted that Kiev would fall in 2 months time, whilst the standard analysis predicted Russian victory within 1 weeks time max. I now believe that Ukraine will ultimately be victorious. In large part due to US and EU support. This could change if the Iranians and/or Chinese become directly involved.
Overall, your video was informative and entertaining. I am now a subscriber!

Apart from whats called out , India and Indians have the will and will do anything to safeguard india ...at any cost... chinese not so much ... there was a reason japanese never succumbed to the americans despite numbers and advancement... and china knows that ... For us, india lives in our blood and soul, and every indian stands proud behind and with Mother India !!

IAF shot down F-16 from old Mig-21 .. sheer bravery

[pathaktech]

India is BRAVE
With lot of Experience 😊

[VashishtArora]

Agree on all points but after some point quantity overwhelms quality. We need to strengthen our numbers.

[HappyDoctor.]

In India every youth tries to get in army.But there are limited no of seats.
In China it is pushing youth to a compulsory army year.
Huge difference there.

Quantity of weapons is good in China but that only one factor.War holds a lot of factors.Indian diaspora should also be considered

[gaddamrajeshreddy]

Respect to IAF, IAF needs to improve it’s fleet strength with 5 gen fighters, radars and missiles

[IN-udks]

Russian Sukhoi 30MK-I fighter aircrafts are actually all license built in India with 78% indigenization.

When the mighty Russian airforce could not overwhelm the Ukrainian Airforce what can these duplicate Russian airforce do to India. The anti air defence batteries in the Himalayas will prove a formidable challenge. The elephant has woken up and when it starts charging the dragon will be blown out of sight.

[wasimsajjidahmed]

indian air force is one of the best airforce in the world. IAF can give tough fight to china along with pakistan and western countries.

[mercedesbenz]

IAF is well at least 15 squadrons short on taking on China and Pakistan both simultaneously. We are ignoring our national security. Our defense budget should have been over 100 billion dollars.

[vamsikrishna]

Here is the assessment this is missed out.
1. Why would Chinese resort to large deployment in Himalayas when holding ground is difficult all time of the year. Even in 1962, they entered Arunachal plains and quickly retuned realizing the futility of holding it in a protracted war.
2. Long protracted war in the Himalayas is absolutely suicidal for Chinese as just below the Tibetan plateau lies vast Indian plains which can provide logistics support due to huge population while China has to bring the supplies from 3000 kms away. The biggest city in Tibet Lhasa has population of 3 million, a population a small town in Northern state holds.
After few weeks China would be fighting a defensive battle.
3. The infrastructure is now marched and most of the advanced lying grounds are in India which are at sea level allowing Indian fighters to carry heavy weights while reaching high altitude something that Chinese can’t do.
The landing grounds for Chinese are not only at high altitude but also difficult to acclimatize easily for Chinese. Remember the Air Force must be matched with ground troops as well which is again a challenge.
4. Somebody talked about numbers Chinese cannot completely shift their entire Air Force to Himalayan theatre. While India can, Pakistani theatre is increasingly irrelevant for India as a broke Pakistan cannot mount a challenge, even as distraction.

5. Even if China has twice number of jets say 200 jets for every 100 that India can deploy, China cannot bring more than 40% to the Himalayan theatre.
Even if it brings as many jets, the infrastructure in Tibet doesn’t support such huge numbers because it needs ground support as well.
Even if it manages to pull in ground support, it needs 3 fighters for every jet just to low carrying capacity.

5. China can of course use long range bombers in Himalayas but they are few, about 6 which can barely effect an outcome.
India can easily handle by creating props, facades as diversion.
India due to large advanced landing grounds can also fly more missions and hours.
It can also use various other flying machines like Apache, chetak and LCH helicopters and keep supplying troops.
China will unnecessarily dragged into a protracted war it cannot win since for China it’s not mainland and far away from border but for India it is where it is mainland and most of the population lives just down the Tibetan plateau.

[govindraj]

Chinese jets can't lift heavy payload because of high Tibetan plateau. Provides huge advantage for India. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[abhinaypainatt]

My dear the history of dragons are evolved in India not in China. As usual China copied it.

[narutouzukami]

😂😂 I think people are forgotten about Abhinandan He shot and F16 with mig 28 World War 2 type of planes

[adarshchoudhary]

First use the correct map of india including Arunachal Pradesh and j&k.then give your sugar coated views

[GodOfwar-jdxl]

Everything is ok but we need more and more quantity and quality ASAP

[mmryzkf]

Geography in on india's side because india's airfields are in the plains where the air is thick enough for combat aircraft to take-off with full fuel and weapons load. China's aircraft cannot do that because its airfields are at high-altitude where the air is thin.

[pabinp]

one thing he missed, 70 percent of Chinese live 3000 km away from Indian border. it will be far difficult for china to mobilize resources compared to India

[Aaryan-pymg]

There is definitely a point in war when the quantity of equipment dominates over quality of equipment, and that too when India will face a 2 front war which it will definitely in the future. it will be extremely difficult if there is a ratio of total 20 Chinese and Pakistani Jets to 1 IAF Jet, no matter how advanced the IAF Jet is. The numbers are also very important.
