Surprisingly Helicopters are missing in action in this conflict. Threat of air defence may be a reason but among UAVs and Helicopters, certainly UAVs are being preferred

Chinese are mobilising to gain to stronger hand in negotiations, at each stumbling block, they will use force to change facts on ground. The mobilisation seems enuf to commence a War. Likely sizeable forces undergoing Training in depth areas.

That said China doesn't want war.
1
Chinese strength in Unmanned Systems, large sized airborne/ air assualt forces and mechanisation will manifest in contact war. It will be supported by electronic, cyber and cognitive warfare to overwhelm enemy public opinion to psychologically defeat the enemy

2
Chinese will likely use neutral territories with sort of deniability that we are seeing everywhere in their actions. Air transit through Bhutan airspace/ Nepal airspace for their 3rd dimensional forces is a distinct possibility.

So for ease of access I will keep adding all new books that I read in this thread.

Starting this difficult to find book.. 'Sentinels of the North East' by Major General D K Palit today.. Image
First thing I noticed is this map of Assam in 1900. See a dashed line consisting most of North East India as we know today. Less parts of Arunachal Pradesh. Younghusband's expedition was still two years away and Lieutenant Colonel Bailey is still to survey Brahmaputra :) Image
Tibet is Thibet..Rangia is Tangia :)
Also notice Manipur and Tripura States within boundaries of Assam. Division of Bengal is still five years away... More later

India has been fighting insurgencies since 1960s(?). Most of these were secessionist in nature but initial ones in North Eastern states received a setback after independence of Bangladesh. One flank was secured. Now these insurgencies didn't share borders with an enemical nation
Then in late 80s, Afghanistan was secured by West.. subsequent fall of USSR freed religiously motivated fighters who were required to be diverted and fuze in Kashmir was ignited. That, which was tried in 1947-48 and 1965 for shorter duration was now tried as a standing strategy
This time there was an enemical neighbour and restless citizens and insurgency really took off well supported by Afghan Veterans.
