Yes, but if they were officially allied, China then has to worry about potential F-22 or F-35 took off from some Indian airports and move more troops to the Tibet plateau.
The whole "non-aligned" policy is a farce because in the past decades India is swinging between the West and Russia depending on which side offers the better bargain of the day, and for as long as Modi being the PM, India has gone all the way to the West, to the "proxy level" if you will.
I don't think the other side is civilized enough to understand that since we didn't offer a cup of fantastic tea.
Like the @Kakyan admitted, indian soldiers and equipment are all disposable. pawns in Modi's 100d chess game against Xi
20 is actually just the official count released by the Indian government. There were numerous other sources, including from I believe the son of a PLA general, that at least 47 Indian soldiers died..
So, this is the truth.
1.China suffered far smaller casualty than india; 4 vs 20
2. China took more than 1,000 square km of land from india.
3. China pushed the LAC to the 1959 pre war status.
If these do not suggest a total Decisive Chinese victory and total indian defeat and humiliation.
What do ?
And thus from now on, I can no longer take India as a nation seriously at all. In fact I can only consider India as a true example of a banana republic whose only exports is telemarketers and WION, both of which are annoying and only good for decreasing the IQ of all those who listen to it more then once.
Agreed. I have a gut feeling that a Su-30MKI was splashed by an F-16. The Indians were quick to parade pieces of an Aim 120C to the world. Presumably they could have recovered it in Indian territory, where the Su-30MKI might have crashed. Before that fateful dogfight. The SU-30MKI was the darling of the IAF. Many things were boasted about it including its Bars radar, R77 missile, and most famously for "tracking" a J-20 at over 100km away (yeah right). After that incident, we don't hear much about the Su-30MKI. Now it's all about the Rafale and its AESA radar, Meteor missiles, and Scalp missiles.
Perhaps Hu Xijin is starting to notice how un-shockingly fast Indian BS news goes around. Its 2021 already, we live in a world where BS gets more traction than it deserves. Perhaps he could feedback that to his higher ups. This is the price for their lack of transparency in critical periods.
