Looks like China has finally beaten India at its own game — creating BS news.
What that makes no sense at all. Then why not buy everything there is to buy? What's the benefit with FOAB? It's not even got utility like the Su-35 purchase. It's got nothing worth looking at unlike Su-35's engine and overall performance wrt how they integrated the FCS with TVC.
What technology in the FOAB is special?
He is more suitable for geopolitics and IR issues rather than military stuff.
Microwave or other non-lethal weapon being used or not, the PLA regained control of those hill tops after Indians intruded in an effort to use as bargaining or to gain territory. Who cares if the cat is black or white right?
Microwave weapons exist and aren't particularly difficult. They're useful for these sorts of things and access denial where you don't want to cause severe bodily injuries. It's not impossible the PLA hasn't used them here but whatever means were employed, the Indians left quickly last month after only a few days if that in those points south of lake. Satellite image confirms PLA on top. Chinese photos and videos prove PLA on top. Indian videos and photos prove PLA on top. If the Indians recommit to gain control using force again or by surprise, the CCP will be complaining about it quite loudly like when the Indians intruded into Reqin before repelling them. So far no noise at all which means PLA still on top with talks ongoing.

Chinese MOAB uses metallic nitrogen, it's the purest form of conventional explosives since nothing is wastedThese thermobaric weapons are all pretty similar are they not? China invented an entirely new explosive (I recall being either the third explosives type ever invented) with the first explosives type being gunpowder, followed by dynamite (Nobel) which all modern explosives are based on including plastic explosives. Recall reading this third new explosive has been applied to the Chinese super bomb or " descendent of all bombs". Could be wrong though and confusing myself because it is also a thermobaric weapon so probably acts upon totally different principles but the news came out around the same time many years ago.
Anyway Chinese super bomb can probably be scaled up and down so no point buying something relatively basic. There's literally no point actually. I remember reading the disclosure made it appear that the Chinese bomb can be scaled up to deliver more energy than the Russian version which is already more potent (allegedly) than the American MOAB. It's all a matter of size and weight for delivery and so they made it fit on the H-6.
Even National Interest reported on it eventually.
Just a decade more and India will be issuing the same statements but in the context of Indian Ocean.

Remember how they were talking about containing China to the 1st island chain a decade ago. Then about maintaining dominance within the 2nd island chain. Recently, we have the Indo-Pacific strategy. Pretty soon I'm sure will be hearing about the Atlantic strategy.
