'PLA Air Force Is Being Built For Strategic Coercion,' Say Former IAF Officers

- The PLA Air Force is being modernised very rapidly and is being used for strategic coercion. It is inducting long range vectors, depending upon no-contact warfare strategy. India needs to be not only aware of these changes in the PLAAF but also take countermeasures although the Indian Air Force is still ahead in terms of skills and experience. India needs to make up numbers quickly if it needs to match the combined strength of China and Pakistan, Air Marshal Anil Chopra (Retd) Former Air Officer in charge Personal and Air Marshal Anil Khosla (Retd) Former Vice Chief of the Air Staff told StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale in this edition of Strategic Insight in association with USI, India's oldest military think tank.
#China #Indian #ChinaIndiaFaceOff - บันเทิง
Air Marshal Khosla is very astute and more specific in his Analysis of what China and it's might is about. He seems to have analyzed the case on hand in a militaristic approach and not merely patriotic jargon without a strategy. Hope the experts are listening. This is the time we have brilliant serving officers and a Fantastic think tank in the ex officers. A combination of both will be lethal for the opponent. Thank you for being the well read moderator and interviewer.
This is such an underrated channel. Nithin is one of very few strategist analyst who speaks logically & facts oriented. May be other "experts" can learn a think or two from him.
I am sure you meant nice things about Nitin..Me..here a fan as well !! But 'underrated' means "not rated or valued highly enough" ..for e.g. a very underrated film"
Very Underated Channel,💯❤
The elegance of military officers. We civilians need to emulate these qualities
Air Marshal Khosla's shoes shine brighter than a summer's sun!
More shiny than #Xi face
Excellent discussion
Thanks sir
Why don't you send this episode to the PM, Defence minister and ministry of India?
They know everything man
They know more than these people brother, use some of your brain.
Outstanding talk 🙏🙏🙏
Highly recommended 🇮🇳
February 27'19,when Pakistan Air Foece, (PAF), aircrafts intruded into India, jammed radars & communication system of Indian Air Force, (IAF),shot down a MIG-21 & SU-30,without a potent challege & with complete impunity bombing around key Indian military installations, in broad daylight, exposed how weak, unprofessional,untrained ,lacking in skills & air war expertise, IAF is !
IAF is in no position to take on PLA air force & will be thoroughly trounced by the Chinese.
!
100 percent right Respected air marshal mr khosala we need to have 1000 fighter planes minimum .god bless hindustan and this two air warrior .jaihind har har mahadev .
Yes Electronic Warfare . Right Air Marshal . All these advice by Air Marshal must be implemented immediately .
Definitely worth of watching it 💯💯💯
By far the best Indian channel on strategic affairs
kudos ,,keep it up
Go India Go !
StratNewsGlobal = 👍👍👍
Good to know strength and weaknesses of our IAF. To be able to conduct such open fruitful discussion shows strength of our democracy (our both northern neighbor envy this).
CCP only wants to create a standoff (without leading to war) and will never settle border issues. PLA agenda is to keep indian borders destabilise, for years CCP has been successfully doing this. Now time has come Indian Govt takes step either MEA sort it through diplomacy (which will not happen) or give powers to Northern Command to deal with it (like CCP has done).
In 1962 China overwhelmed Indian position with logistics and manpower. This time they may try to overwhelm us with missiles and info warfare. Hope we are alert to this.
OK
One bomber taken out by one missile, one aircraft carrier taken out by one missile. Technology is key!
@Bruce Gilder This would make sense. Sending fleets of bombers in is obsolete I believe because of missile technology. They have lasers with capabilities we really know nothing about because they don't want to show their hand. Man's genius for self-destruction knows no bounds.
Bombers are used only when there's a dominance of enemy airspace. Otherwise a bomber is just like a good target for any small aircraft for shot practice
Great interview nitin sir ji
Disappointed with the way our Airforce isn't given adequate attention.
Mr Nitin " Man behind the Machine " matters I like this term . God Bless !
Best channel I have ever seen for strategic and defence insights. !!
But quantity also has its own quality
(Eg Germany vs USSR )
Long live all of you sir
very quality episode. Hope the India administrators pay heed to the points raised by the Air Marshalls. Its a two way war for India, so we need to up the ante or get hammered by China.
Amazing discussions, great to be with Air Marshals and Nitin Gokhale. Thanx.
Eye-opening!
Our policy makers wasted precious time in procuring sufficient number of combat aircrafts for the airforce.
Their complacency would be unforgivable in the event of real conflict on ground.
I actually liked Air Mshl Khosla’s usage “they got their AF out from the clutches of their Army”
Till about 1970, Indian Navy chief used to be a Vice Admiral. A. K. Chatterjee was the first full Admiral of the Indian Navy After that. the navy expanded fast.
Excellent!
Very good discussion, congratulations strat news.
Thank you
Ty
Great episode, very informative. In general, this is an outstanding channel.
Very informative 👍
Thnq so much you are doing great work...
" Tactics around the world & Developments " India I liked it terms
Good work !!! Need more shows like this.
One of the best interviews I have watched, very informative
Interesting episode...
Air superiority is the key for future.
Great discussion
Good job sir......
One of the most informative channels on defence.
Awesome Interview :)
Very good discussion. One point though, its true that our defence industry has suffered coz of policies of subsequent governments. We have produced tejas not bcoz of our government but inspite of our government. So lets not degrade that achievement. Its the learning out of that project that we can implement in future provided we act in agile manner i.e. privatization, increasing the defence budget, investing that budget in our own RnD rather than buying from foreign
Sir the channel credibility is shoaring up you have got case relevant penal Or guests.. please keep doing what you do
Its “panel” not “penal”
We have to thank the Congress regime for this disastrous state of affairs of defence equipment. How on earth did they expect India to defend its borders with Technologically obsolete equipment and no strategic planning. I guess they were planning to follow Nehru’s defence doctrine of taking down the pants and bending. India definitely deserved better.
Thats deliberate for ensuring we always remain a weak easily exploitable place
Wonderful discussions with knowledgeable Air Marshals! One gets a good sense of where we stand in comparison to the Chinese. Thanks Nitin for this brilliant presentation and please continue to enlighten us with more such presentations.
Sir please extend timing ... every episode must b 1hr atleast.. it's very interesting and learning experience to listen legends of our armed forces..hope you consider my request
It's one of the most underrated news channels of TH-cam. Full of factual information, keeps our concepts clear as crystal.
Thanks.
Very nice comments from Deepak Sadarangani. I do agree.
Nitin, I enjoy discussion organised by yoi with people with experience, I look forward to watch all such episodes.please keep it up.
Such a pleasure to hear your detailed analysis and balanced, logical style. Keep up the great work!
Thats a quality discussion which i havent seen in a long time.
Super video. One of the best on StratnewsGlobal. more such please
Many Many thanks for bringing such good Gentlemen of True Calibre and Experience. Thank you from Canada!!
Great strategic discussion. Very valuable information.
Excellant.Very informative and realistic assessment.
Excellent insight
Awesome unbiased informative video.
Jai hind jai bharat
STILL
T IS FANTASTIC.....................
very nice and full of knowledge appreciate your effort , keep it up sir !
Keep up this great work Start news global. Extremely informative no jingoism .. clear thoughts.. I think when we know our strengths and weaknesses our view will be more holistic and we would be saved from any potential Himalayan blunder or debacle..
Wow what an enlightening episode.
2nd comment for the first time in my life😂
Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!
Such a fantastic and rich discussion!
Too many wake up calls & yet we are sleeping !!!! Suffice to say URGENT action by the political leadership as pointed out by the Air Marshals
Great interview..we need electronic warfare squardon
IAF's fighter aircraft requirement was calculated many years back based upon the kind of fighter jets available then and other defence/weapon systems available then.
Today, the fighter jets are much more advanced. The radar systems are much better, AWACS and satellite systems are available. We have the entire range of cruise and ballistic missiles.
In view of the above, I wonder if we can reduce our squadrons sanctioned strength. Of course, the enemy capability and deployment has improved too. I believe, there could be a scope for a review.
Want to hear the details from real hero's ♥️🇮🇳
Apply Fabian strategy.
Brilliant😁
Very much realistic discussion.I would like to suggest one more discussion with expertise from all the three forces as army and navy also has their own air power. Now we have a CDS too. How really they will be coordinating with each other especially in a war like situation with China and Pak simultaneously. This is really a high time to discuss on this, especially by a person like you. All the best!
If we prepare two front war, we need minimum 42 squadron and we have only 29 squadron and after 5 year number going more low
but in 5 to 10 yr - the number of squadrons can go up 9 to 13 to 42. Remember, Chinese still use their mig 19s and mig 21s to show huge numbers. So, IAF mig 21s (3 squadrons) or jaguars not going to go away until Tejas mark 1a and mark 2, su30s, mig 29s and Rafale adequate numbers come up. In a decade, we are looking at more than 42 squadrons without retiring mig 21s and jaguars. Thanks to proactive steps taken by the present government. Moreover, we don't have to match air craft for air craft because geography greatly limits Chinese PLAAF in himalayas especially Ladakh
According to feku and andh bhakts 1 rafael is equivalent to 10 squadrons...since we have 5 of them, it means we have 50 squadrons...remaining aircraft is all extras...this is called feku and andh bhakt strategy...
No 123 of LAC will be inducted and there ia demand for another 200 odd LAC MK2
Hope we will be able to manufacture that much
'Quantity has a quality of its own' - Abhijit Iyer Mitra
No staline... said it..in ww2
Not true brother quality must be some how at par you can't fight 5 fighter get with 100 transport aircraft
@Apoorv Chauhan Mig 21s will win, Of course Quantity matters. I know it.
.
Damn we're 29 squardons and even Pak is 22.
It's stalin
Very Informative Video! Plz Extend the Time !
Big Number game to play , everything
Continue with USI good.
Most knowledgeable and sensible show I have ever seen 👍👍
Should watch Security Scan then. They are like this everyweek.
Definitely Security scan ki to baat hi alag h
sensible graphics and sensible presentation, probably this channel is for the sensible viewers who have switched off their Televisions
Sensible comment
Who dares wins.
Under PM MODI....we have tonnes of daring
🇮🇳👍🙏
Very good analysis Please come on TV channel to give the best picture to Nation Ready Appreciate discussion Quite good
No offence , but the gentlemen from the Navy and Airforce come off way more up to speed with the technology curve compared to our braves in olive
Air Marshal Chopra's assessment was sobering to say the least.
Just some armchair thoughts:
1)JASDF Eagles are being worn out by constant scrambles(This is us in the future)
2) The USAF is gearing to *defeat* a peer adversary.(We are still preparing for a 2 Front war, Well said by Air Marshal Khosla)
3)By 2030 they(PLAAF) would have triple digit VLO platforms including heavy bombers
4)We will have zero VLO platforms by 2030.
5)F-35 capabilities as shared by US TPs/Analysts are scary in the best of times and China is preparing heavily.
6)Any more foreign purchases will be instant chaddi uthrao for politicians(Competing with Saudi Barbaria for the tag of "imports khalifa" will be a disaster)
7)Unmanned combat systems is another big shunya for us, maybe like last year we will send uber expensive to fly Su-30s to take out Wing Loongs/Monkey model Wing Loongs.
All I see are questions and no easy answers.
Vitta Mantri Nirmala Sitharaman needs to pull off a miracle and EAM Jaishankar needs to bide us time.
RM can still twiddle thumbs and issue RFI for RFP for RFQ for Alphabet Soup.
No war doctrine
No strategy
No will power to spend on R &D
Shying away from privatisation
Inability to think out of box
Lack of understanding the imp of air power & defecient leadership / management
Misplaced ideas and dirty cocktails of Russian Israeli western platforms
Lack of funds
.... the only solution is either join the US league like Japan, S korea, Taiwan
We simply dont have the funds to match the chinese with a falling economy.
yep well said
1st point i highly doubt it. We are not japan with the border tension like this any kind of airspace violation could be end up in a disaster for the chinese
Akki Rotti Sorry. Ever heard of limitations of PLAAF in ladakh? All these years, whiners said, we don't have enough fighters. Now they are whining there is no bombers. Why do we need strategic bombers for? Is going to bomb beijing?. How effective that junk H6 bombers can be without getting shot by IAF? Can they shoot and scoot in a full blown conventional war? No way
Moreover, squadron numbers would improve significantly in next 5 to 10 yrs (even more than 42). Why these retired experts not discussing about usage of mig 19s and mig 21s by PLAAF? I am sure they are going to whine about Mig21 bisons for sure. Are they pitching in for more Russian junk like bombers? Frist comment itself exposed these fellows bitching and whining about Tejas. Don't they know that Tejas production is being ramped up significantly by HAL by setting up a second plant ? I can guarantee that they don't have any clue on the number of surface to surface and cruise missiles India has in its arsenal either.
@@indianmilitary you cannot rely on effectiveness or ineffectiveness of their bombers or jets. The fact is most of our jets are of Russian origin and the chinese have reverse engineered and employed 1000s of Russians to develop their aerospace sector. They also have large numbers and can therefore saturate our airspace. We dont have an effective air defence system. They have s 400 already operational.
Lets be honest, air chiefs and officials cannot do much if the Govts dont sanction funds. They were forced to work with cheaper and easy to accquire Russian jets and tech becz Russians gave it to us at very easy terms and conditions.
Chinese jets may not be high tech. But we too lag behind. Therefore, the only solution now is to firmly allign with the US and shun our good for nothing non allignment policy. We would have surpassed Japan, S korea and Taiwn had we joined the US in 1960s.
The very fact that B2 bombers were placed shows that US is serious about Indo pacific and India's security. The chinese deployed DF 21s along Lac. The western jets (Rafale) deployment forced the chinese to deploy 2 J 20s and 5 H6 bombers along lac.
Joining the US, buying readymade in use jets in bulk at once or leasing the US jets asap will send a message across. We should also join the F 35 ecosystem immediately. Chinese are actually testing our relationship with the US with the incursions.
Ur doing wl, keeping it sir...
Hi Nitin, can you please conduct a session on how do do we stack up against PLA on the NE front. What are our relative strengths / weaknesses at various access and choke points for PLA into India
Great Program keep up the good work. Please consider making episode bit longer
This channel is superb .only based on merit
Fire the IAS Babus. Totally, inept. Modi Ji what the hell are you going to do?
Pursue exceptional ISR capabilities, including stealth, for airpower advantage over China.
China development in defence is impressive
भारत चीन के बीच युद्ध होने की परिस्थिति और सम्भावित परिणाम पर एक वीडियो बनाएं। साथ ही भारत के 2 फ्रंट और 2.5 फ्रंट वॉर से लड़ने की क्षमता पर भी वीडियो बनाये, जिसमे detail डिस्कशन हो।
Wake up call it is!
I am very much delighted to view such high quality strategic discussion.
Very distinguished officers of IAF has mentioned about how urgently India has to get fighter jets and other defence mechanism.
I think the reason behind very wide gap between India and China is due to lack of economic development of India since last few years. China has strengthened its economy first in very unprecedented way. World has not seen such economic growth after rise of USA. India was rapidly following China, in spite of having huge gap but lost momentum due to bad economic policy of last few years.
I fully agree with Air Marshal Anil Chopra’s assessment about Pakistan’s depleting Air Force capability due to lack of financial strength. While watching one International think tank’s show same remark was made by Chinese analyst about India. If you follow that comments on the basis of merit it is true as Chinese Economy is 5 times greater then Indian Economy.
Until India achieves rapid economic growth it would be very difficult to equipped Indian forces at desired level.
Bharat must on very fast pace invest in technology and manufacturing building security of nation because both adversary neighbors must not be ignored as done by past Govt . Bharat must create lots of job in Defence industry serving dual purpose . Extreme need of the hour
By PM & India
384 Squadron in US Air Force...... Just Amazing
Russia No.2 with some 3000 aircrafts.
USA No. 1 with some 10,000 aircrafts including 5th gen fighters..
.
That is what happens when you have money and your public don't hate the rich people unlike India where we continuously bash AMBANI.
Their navy has more aircrafts than most air forces.
On its own , it's the 2nd largest air force
PLAAF aircraft inventory is made of cheap knockoffs and have never been tested in an actual warfare. Effectiveness of the fighter planes can only be tested in a war. Highly doubtful if these cheap knockoffs will help them in air superiority.
By the basis of sheer numbers 30 Squadrons is no match for 80 Squadrons...We need at least 100 Squadrons..
