No no, Hu from Global Times said this happens all the time from both sides. So much so that exchange of people who wonder over the border is business as usual and doesn't normally attract any media attention.

The unusual thing is why on this occasion India decide to make a big deal out of it.
Really? I saw some videos regarding this. Seemed tone downed to me from their as usual blah blah blah.

3. Racism in India:
Racism is rampant amongst Indians and they have a derogatory terminology for other peoples.
(a) Gora - White man, this is the derogatory term used by Indians for British or Europeans in India but that baggage has been carried over to North America.
(b) Kala : Black or African Americans,
In India there is a passion for light
complexion. The term Kala refers
to dark complexion which is
derogatory.
(c) Chapta - Flat or flat nose, referring to those with Mongoloid features.
(d) Katua - Circumcised or Muslim.
Other names for Muslims;
Sullah, Musla, Mian, Landya, all referring to the circumcised condition.
Actually most of them aren't slur but literal translation.
The meaning is determined by the context of the conversation.

China seems to be operating a short-duration LOMU / suicide drone, while India has Harop drones from Israel, which have far superior endurances.
Aren't you forgetting something? Those drones will be operated by those who must not be named. Their crashing capability is unparalleled & unquestionable o_O
Even if in this case, some drones are meant to crash intentionally, i am sure most of them will be on same page with that unfortunate Mi helicopter :rolleyes:

Speaking of crashing, i wonder who is charge of "QUAD" air crash force. They are taking the "partnership" thing very seriously :eek:.
May be "crashing together" in new motto of QUAD.

Crashing plane is pretty common with air force, recall PLAAF crashed a J-10 recently due to bird strike. I think US crashes on average 2 planes a month. That said crashing planes at the rate that India is doing is definitely abnormal. Even things like Su-30 somehow suddenly become less reliable after being serviced by HAL.

We have discussed Indian society sufficiently and are way off topic.,

The intent of using the words are determined by context and that is what we are discussing.
Example : The words dog or pig refers to the respective animals and become slurs when used to describe a human.
Also the slurs used to describe Muslims are slurs and nothing else.
There is much worse language used to describe Dalits and "untouchables " but to reproduce them here would violate the forum rules.

Not comparable. Animal name becomes a slur when you call a human in that name. If you call a human tiger, that won't be seen as slur.
However thats not what i am saying.
The words you have mentioned, gora, kala, chapta are also words that are used here.For gora we use "shada".
It depends on how you use it.

I agree this is going off topic & i don't have interest in indian society. Just those words caught my eyes.

One last thing---
I ain't familiar with slur that describes muslims or dalits but katua is very shady one given india's boyfriends are katua too(jew).

I sometimes pity indians. When they try to feel stronnnkk using insulting words, they seem to fall flat on their azz. Even Mother nature plays cruel jokes on them. :p
What goes around,comes around squarely :cool:

This is what happens to drones when the enemy has any air defences capabilities.

Drones have only been as effective as they have been because they have only been used against opponents with no, or at best limited air defence capabilities. A description, which incidentally also applies to the Indians.

The PLA have always placed massive emphasis on their anti air capabilities. Indian drones would just serve as target practice if they were used.

The Chinese have zero need to deploy their newest swarm drones, as those are only necessary against enemies with sophisticated air defence capabilities and/or hiding in urban areas that are hard to hit with conventional weapons without risking significantly collateral damage. None of that applies to the Indian boarder.

Conventional artillery, air strikes and drone strikes would be more then sufficient, no need to waste swarm drones unless the PLA just wants to battle test them.

In 2018 a swarm drone attack on the Russian airbase in Khmemiem destroyed two aircraft and caused casualties.
These were crude home made drones:
The Russians did manage to thwart the attack mainly by jamming the control signals:
