and china constantly sells weapons to Pakistan & Bangladesh. What's the big deal. Unless you think the Indian weapons are that scary (which I don't), then at worst, India is just being annoying.India has been selling missiles and ships to SCS countries to counter China, India is a trying to become a bigger player in SCS. China must make it clear to India that if India crosses Chinese border during reunification, China will strike deep into Indian territory.
India has no route to attack China anyways.and china constantly sells weapons to Pakistan & Bangladesh. What's the big deal. Unless you think the Indian weapons are that scary (which I don't), then at worst, India is just being annoying.
exactly, defending from high ground with superior weapon and Pakistan on the other side is pretty easy.India has no route to attack China anyways.
China can just sicc Pakistan and Kashmir on India if India attempts something. The India Pakistan border is prime tank country and with Chinese air force support, Indians would get annihilated in massive numbers.
A small number of infrastructure strikes in Northern India can pacify the Indian question while the bulk of China's forces defend the Eastern side from Washington.
U.S. plans naval logistics hubs in India to counter China
Resupply and repair partnership to help fill 'big gap' in Indo-Pacific readiness
We'll have much more to follow in the near future, but the aim here is to make India a logistics hub for the United States and other partners in the Indo-Pacific region," said Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, to reporters in late June.
As part of this effort, the U.S. Navy will sign ship repair agreements with Indian shipyards.
The navy has concluded a Master Ship Repair Agreement with the Larsen & Toubro shipyard near the Indian city of Chennai, according to the White House. The navy is close to finalizing separate deals with two other shipbuilders, based in Mumbai and Goa.
The U.S. military looks to build readiness for quickly handling resupply activities and repairs in the Indo-Pacific region. If the navy has access to more hubs in the region, then vessels and aircraft will waste less time pausing operations for both. The time savings can be allocated to joint exercises with other countries.
