India could already hit Pakistan anywhere.
China invaded India in 1962 and has taken territory
from India up in the Himalayas. Not again.
Another interesting point is that India can basically fight on even terms with China in terms of a war of attrition--they both have populations of approx. 1 billion...
Well the Indian armed forces on a whole are technically & capability vice ahead of the PLA(which is larger).The problem is that the PLA has had an insurance policy for over 40 years to India's East-Pakistan,which recieves most of it's conventional & nuke weapons from the Chinese.Everytime India has fought or come close to fight Pakistan,it would always leave a big chunk of it's air & land assets on it's Eastern Front to guard against the Chinese,thereby blunting it's massive edge against Pakistan.The only way India could potentially commit it's entire military to face China would be by nuking Pakistan out of the equation or hoping that the Taiwanese ,Japan & Vietnam(both of whom are developing strategic ties with India) stand up against China,which is easier said than done.
