Even if PLANAF has some fighters in Pakistan, I think India's home field advantage would probably be too much. If you want a fair fight it should happen in the Strait of Malaka. For instance, say Singapore suddenly had a civil war, and China and India decided to support opposing sides. PLAN and the IN both send forces to support thier side and gain control over this very strategic area.

It is highly unlikely that Singapore would go into a civilwar, Indonesia perhaps. China sends some forces to protect Ethnic Chinese and India sends some forces to "stabilize" the Straights of Malacca.

This area is very strategic, US, Japan and Korea will be involved because most if Japan and Korea's oil passess through here.

We know it exists because its one of the worst kept secerts ever. But unfortunatly we don't know the statistics of the missiles. I know people who know but unfortunatly realising the information is restricted. When the information does get realised you'll be quite suprised from what "they" told me.

A large number are in business. I think Beni Santosa may be a Indonesian Chinese Muslim. Oddly enough Chinese Muslims were instrumental in the spread of Islam to Indonesia. I hope that they can prevent the friction between the two communities.

Anyway back to topic.

Isn't India helping Iran to build a new port with links through Central Asia.
What if the IN was based there and PLAN was at Gwadar during war ? Would Iran
permit India to use the base ?

Yes India was to help Iran in railroads, airport construction and perhaps a new port. I donno the details .

I don't think Gwadar will be a Chinese Naval base, rather it will be used to ship oil from Iran to China . It'll be an economical hub.

It will probably be both. It will be a big shipping hub, and there will also be a naval base there in order to protect all the ships.

lol, this has to be the first Indian system that I haven't heard being bragged about endlessly. It's better this way.

If PLAN is based at Gwadar, then the IN would have to be fighting the PAF and the PN at the same time. And even though the PAF and PN are not nearly as strong as the IAF or IN, it will drain much needed resources away from fighting the mightier PLAN. And I think several squadrons of Su-35bm's (or even much more high tech planes) can really turn the tide.

First off. Su-35BM? When did this happen?
Also you do not send all your squardrans against a single fleet, at the same time. That happens in games in statistics but not in reality. The enemy at most send 3-6 strike aircraft. To fend off these aircraft fleets usually have a carrier. The Carrier sends interceptors well beyond the line of SAM protection. If those fighters do launch anti-ship missiles, assuming its the IN. The ships have Barak, and AK-630 CIWS. Carriers have become of the most important assesets of Navies if they can be protected by the rest of the fleet.

The Russians are trying to market Su-35BM to PLAAF. It is billed as the last major flanker upgrade before the PAK-FA replaces the flanker, and it will be ready in 2007 at the earliest (probably later). Personally I don't think China will buy any, but others at this forum think China will.
