But these sort of videos are aplenty pushed forth by Indian traditional and non-traditional media, which in my opinion shows the severe insecurity of these people and envy towards China and the Chinese people as a whole.
I'm kinda glad that they continue to do this. The more they play this 'Victory India' thing, the more they get left behind by China.
When China was intimidated by the US military in the 1991 Gulf War, and 1996 3rd Taiwan Strait Crisis. The Chinese never boasted that they have better tanks and ships than the US. They honestly assessed their own military. Then put their heads down and work hard to catch up. When China made significant milestones, they celebrated it, but didn't boast about going to kick somebody's ass with it. The result is the immense progress we see today.
India throughout the decades has been busy talking, and talking, and talking. India's is still running a 3rd-world level of Defence Industry as of 2022. Direct imports, JVs, rebranding, limited R&D, and limited indigenous designs. India is talking about importing Hornets or Rafales for the Vikrant. While China is gonna put its own family of indigenous aircrafts on the Fujian. There is just no comparison on how much the Defence Industry on each side has progressed. Difference in arms exports between China and India? No contest, even in the Cold War era.
The West is happy to play pretend that India is gonna become the next 'superpower' while selling it overpriced arms. India thinks that it has already won, that it had already become a superpower. Partially because the West heaped unmerited confidence on India. With that, Indians continue to look down on China and the Chinese people, despite the overwhelming reality that India is very far behind. This is why India can never close the gap with China. 'Victory India' for me, is a blessing in disguise for the enemies of India.
