New Delhi knows little about Beijing's combat capabilities: Indian Air Force Chief

In an interesting interview, Indian Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major said India knows little about Chinese combat capabilities.

"We know very little about the actual capabilities of China, their combat edge or how professional their military is," Major told a newspaper. "They are certainly a greater threat."

China's claim over the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, in particular over its Buddhist enclave of Tawang can be the start of a third world war. Neither India, nor China is willing to compromise on that area. Chinese illegal occupation of Tibet is also a major issue. Indian Air Force and Indian Nuclear deterrent acts as a damper in the possible conflict.

New Delhi says it cannot part with populated areas to settle the border dispute. Major said the Indian air force was upgrading about five airbases, of which two would operate Russian Su-30 MKI fighters.
