Met a disillusioned gyaani (not the linkedin life coach type!) who prefers to remain in shadows even in good times. Some comments from him…
1. plaaf has a ring of bases around. it is no longer just hotan and kashi anymore but 10 airfields to contend with at leh.

2. we will get outnumbered even while we keep saying the 5 decade old thing of “but but they cant takeoff with full payload onlee”

3. they have their h6 fleet north of tarim basin. part fuel t/o and refuelled north of hotan (by y20) will be enough for them for an alpha strike. our fellows in delhi will still be spluttering

4. not asking for al-udeid style infra. but come on. we can defly do better than LEH for a frontline base

5. None of the current fields will survive first contact. They’re definitely going to pound each airfield. For days.

6. We need more temporary airfields all over the north. Mobile ATC and dual runways that are camoed

7. h6k are bombers. their Y20s are being regularly seen in all western theatre bases these days. and they have endless airframes parked outside their avic factory out east.they can easily surge when needed

8. H6s also routinely operate out of kashi/kashgar. so not far away and can launch multiple CMs at us at short notice. Both at airbases and c2 nodes …

I did not have any points to counter the sage and came back dejected, tail tucked between my legs 🦊
