China will bloody and humiliate India badly.
China’s problem is the “pampered boy” mentality.
In India, there are several children that can take care of the family if a son-soldier dies.
China, on the other hand, due to the one-child policy, has created a bunch of men that are the only support to parents and do not trust the government to care for them if they die. China’s researched the problem and found that it could be an issue if blood starts to flow.
Not everyone is getting that.
They have a staggering advantage in hardware.
And I recall that the last time India got involved in some jet fighter ruckus, it didn’t go too well.
I was hoping India would win. Hoping is the hope in that sentence.
“China will bloody and humiliate India badly.”
Not likely.
China hasn’t fought a land battle since Vietnam kicked their ass.
India’s army is quite good.
Don’t be so sure about that.
China has had no real combat experience since their losing fiasco with Vietnam in ‘79. Beyond that they have made some aggressive moves against Taiwan, helped with Somali Pirates and been involved in Mali as peace keepers.
The one-child policy created a bunch of self centered mini-emperors that has been acknowledged as an issue by generals internally.

India on the other hand has had a continuous series of border wars/skirmishes with Pakistan since independence from the UK. In addition they have participated in the Sri Lankan Civil War (’87-90), Operations in the Seychelles (’86) and the Maldives (’88), and helped against the Somali Pirates. In addition they continue to be a source of soldiers to the UK for service in specific units.
We have heard of up to 20 dead on the India side from the fisti-cuffs a few weeks back, we still don’t know the extent of the tally from the Chinese side and likely never will. My humble opinion is that is because they had greater losses.
“...China will bloody and humiliate India badly.”
They might be about to “solve” the Kashmir problem once and for all by seizing all of it, and dividing it between Pakistan and China.
“China will bloody and humiliate India badly.”
I don’t think so, unless India is flying older aircraft.
