The Indian Air Force has some experienced pilots but flies mostly antiquated aircraft. The Chinese Air Force has a multitude of mostly copied modern aircraft with very up to date pirated electronics but has essentially untested pilots and virtually no combat experience. The Indians are right to concentrate on anti aircraft batteries and to equip their land troops with shoulder missiles and drones. Despite the Chinese advantage in numbers and aircraft quality, suspect if there was a war, the Chinese would be bloodied and learn a bitter lesson in the air war.

I remember sharing a firing range in Germany with these relics back in the 80’s. They were with the West German army.

The M-777 is not an antiaircraft weapon. It is a 155mm artillery weapon that fires 96 pound projectiles to 22 kilometers with conventional ammunition and to 34 kilometers with base bleed projectiles. It loads one round at a time and has a max rate of fire somewhere around 3-4 rounds per minute.

Not at all suited for shooting planes down.
