Ukraine war must teach India’s ‘bygone’ Army to use same military model to stalemate China

The probability of an absolute victory is very low, but Russia may still force a face-saving victory. With its existing forces, it has probably been forced to reach its culmination point prematurely. However, after major regrouping and induction of additional forces, additional forces could be added to the Russian offensive.

India’s challenge would be to utilise the Ukraine model to stalemate China without substantial loss of territory. The exploitation of nuclear brinkmanship would also have to be factored in. India has a relative capability differential in China’s favour along its northern borders and in its own favour in the west.

In a totalitarian democracy, a delusional military functions in a cocoon without any oversight. Russia’s military hierarchy has failed to give honest and objective advice to President Vladimir Putin. It is obvious that Russia overestimated its military capability and underestimated that of Ukraine. The intervention in Syria was incorrectly viewed as a model for success.
