1. OSINT platforms must confirm if PLA PLAAF and PLAN are positioning assets in Pak. That would be demonstration of serious intent.
2. It also indicates willingness of Pak to be a participant in case of a Sino Indian clash.

3. India will have to adopt a non linear approach to tackle this emerging threat by projecting its own military capability forward.
4. The projection area is Afghanistan, where a potent force poised can threaten PLA lines of communication in Sinkiang,

Simultaneously threaten the soft underbelly of Pakistan , threaten Gwadar. And facilitate a vicious response to pak support yo terror activities in India. It would be paks worst nightmare come true.

5. The naysayers talk of sustaining logistics. Think non linear and the answers will emerge. Expeditionary force projection is the future. Ya wanna win a match, ya gotta bat off the front foot. Mere defensive outlook gets you no victory.

Gen Sagat and Hanut were proponents of carrying the battle to the enemy. The results speak for themselves. @adgpi @PMOIndia
