If actual shooting starts, the Indians will be beaten badly.

True. The Indians have had decades to bring their military to parity with the Chinese since their last border war, but if anything they've fallen even further behind the Chinese. Last I heard, their dysfunctional military procurement system failed to purchase needed fighter jets and they're looking to some primitive home-made plane.

They’re not toothless. 272 upgraded SU-30MKIs isn’t exactly nothing.

It’s worth remembering that these are the guys that took their SU-30MKIs and beat F-22s with them.

Just because its made in India? LOL. American engine, Indian Israeli and French radars and weapons systems. Soon to have an AESA radar with Israeli and Indian BVR AAMs. Its not the F-22 it will have to fight. Mainly the JF-17 Thunder of the PAF. Another F-16 wannabe. With a Russian engine and Chinese everything else.
