THE FEAR OF DRAGON HAUNTING. DAY AND NIGHT
prof Dr. k Prabhakar Rao PhD( mech)
the great man John Kennedy the American president helped us in previous chaotic war with China in 1962.His threat to China that His hand would be forced to intervene militarily sent shivers in China and they declared Ceasefire within 24 hours as demanded by the American president.the PLA was already in foot hills of Himalayas and very close to Tezpur in Assam valley. now , who will come for our rescue. Hope we can fight and protect ourselves and the territory if full scale war is forced on us...may God bless us. The armed forces of China I.e PLA is immensely large well catered, well armed and supported and well motivated in its cause compared to our forces that have to take care of hostile Pakistan and Chinese fronts apart from terrorism and militants in Jand K States.Thus , some forces and certain amount of resources have to be diverted in case war breaks out between China and India. China has no land direct border with America. America has to take care of North Korea that Is Supported by China and in case of hostilities , its forces have to be deployed at South Korea. In case of INDO China hostilities , China might not push for hostilities with US at Korean front unless USA itself starts the war on Korean front.China has built roads on their side on Indian front so that heavy equipment could be quickly moved. towed equipment has reportedly already arrived on the Chinese side and these could be artillery pieces. INDO China war would be invariably fought in mountains where deployment of armour is difficult although not impossible at certain places. ARTILLERTY of certain calibre however would be deployed in strength and this equally applies to China. Biggest strength with China is the bayonet strength that they can field and it would be very high compared to us.It happened in 1962 war when waves of PLA soldiers attacked Indian positions and at many places our troops ran out of ammunition ( thanks to short sighted Nehru and his sycophant coterie including menon) and the soldiers became martyrs in close quarter battles. Situation will not be different in deployment of soldiers even in today's impending battles. The usual attack to defence ratio is 3:1 while China deployed even 6:1 and more against India when they attacked us in 1962. Indian positions thus fell having run out of ammunition and they had no option except CQB. We lost scores of men too and became captives and seriously lame.
Unfortunately , there are many arm Chair beer sipping self styled pseudo experts munching chicken roasted legs sitting in AC rooms at Delhi who have not seen a bullet being fired leave apart tactics of Infantry, armour and arty formation and conduct of military operations .Some are from mere police background.They are Advising the govt that the warfare in present day is no more the same we had earlier and it has become more high tech. apart from this there are some seniors who are of the opinion that army has limited role in ensuring national security in present days as if it is a police job belonging to constabulary.They argue thus almost amounting to redundancy of armed forces in present day conflicts between nations.warfare methods no doubt have changed over years due to use of sophisticated weapons, tracking systems, satellite communications, electronic target locations, target acquisition, use of missiles, multiple rocket launchers, pilot less air crafts and even use of drones, the terrain where war will be fought plays the dominant role and decisive and the terrain of 1962 is still The same although with some improved road communications. Use of latest technologies and use of air power including bombers, attack air crafts and choppers and gun ships and missiles in mountains is always restricted. Thus , the imminent armed full scale conflict with China is not going to be an easy affair like cake walk as envisaged by our experts basking in self imagined glory as China would go all out to win and claim Arunachal Pradesh once for all. they would open multiple fronts aiming at very crucial areas that we have to defend at the same time that will be an Herculian task and they did it in 1962. wars do not come always and they surely will make best use of it.Make hay while sun shines will be Chinese motto. China will be searching for an opportunity and alibi and cause for perpetuating a full scale war on India for satisfying their ambition of occupying Arunachal areas and other disputed areas for which they are craving Over years. God forbids,Once they get into Arunachal , it will be next to impossible to evict them. entire Brahmaputra valley including Assam , Bhutan Sikkim and our North East States will be at their mercy and could be cut off from rest of the country.
Thus, we might say that we have to be extra cautious in the war, if it is forced on us and it will not be easy affair although India improved a lot in the equipment and weapons. still lot is to be done yet.China is a communist nation and gives great priority to the development of its forces maintaining cutting edge, while in India , we have our own constraints and limitations and misplaced priorities while dealing with the armed forces ( recently recommending equipment locally made even if it is 70 percent fit enough ) by virtue of the type of governance, attitude towards the defence forces.

it is being perceived that PLA OF PRESENT TIMES has soldiers that belong to the generation of one child family. That was imposed. These are much papered soldiers by the families and are more quarrelsome short tempered due to which they get into arguments very often with those who oppose them. The govts of China is of the opinion that the PLA us not battle garderobes unlike Indian army. China fas given full and good reply by Vietnamese when they tried to occupy Vietnam. in 1967 India taught a good lesson inflicting more than. 450 casualties while suffering only ninty of own . For long China was a peasant army and enjoyed reputation of overcoming the army of Chiang Kaishek in 1948 . Lot of water has flown since then.it is generally being believed that China would try to threaten by amassing troops and equipment but it is worried of stiff opposition and possible defeat too against battle hardened army of opposition.
