Agreed. The Chinese can even fly their J-20 into the skies in the case of a prolonged war. The Indian fighters may find PL-15s fired from very far away suddenly make a sharp turn when the missiles get close and hit them. If the Indians don't control the skies, drones alone will do huge damage to the Indian army given how big a role drones played in Ukraine. This will provide the Chinese with a rare opportunity to test out their drone warfare. The longer this drags on, the higher the likelihood that the Indian army will do nothing and back down.

Not sure if real but here is a complaint letter on the replacement by a general.
It comes as a shock to many because they don't believe Chinese military has come so far for a cheap price.
But when you think about it, military is mainly about tech now. How is that any different from the other complex tech field China is trying to enter? If anything military has a head start because China has been investing in it long ago. Theres no golden rule saying somehow only Europeans know it and there's no way China would ever pick up on it.
Please don't get carried away by disinformation. He turned 60 years old on 30th April. That's the retirement age for the Air Marshal in Indian Air Force. Rest is your decision
Could it result in India crippling their domestic fighter program even further? Assuming this is true, then regardless if it was an J-10C or JF-17 Block 3. The officers and bureaucrats in the Indian Air Force and the Government may feel the heavy pressure towards “investing” billions into squadrons of F-35s. Stripping funding that could have gone towards domestic military development.
Fake letter. The writing of 1 May is not the service writing style. If you follow the official reliable news on both sides, Indian government has already issued the fake fact check news. There are similar misinformation Campaigns of other side too.
The Standards of Sino-defence forum are supposed to be very high wherein moderators regularly caution against spread of false news.
So, my suggestion let's avoid uncorroborated news
Indian government with BJP in power is the biggest lier in the world. They will say and prove anything to save face.
They have constantly lied about Galwan, balakot, surgical strike and so on.
Which leads me to think that there might be some kernel of truth behind the Pakistani claims — the silence is deafening this time. I legit think that the four Rafales were supposed to do a Balakot style strike before being thwarted… somehow.
No point in idle speculation. What we know for a fact is that the element of surprise is lost. There is not much India can do. The sorry state of the IAF doesn't help matters. India's traditional allies also does not want escalation. Modi will probably hope for a repeat of 2019. What that episode taught us was that even a flop can be sold to the gullible Indian public by their cult leader as a success.
