LONDON, September 9: India’s parties continue to focus on China’s ongoing “cross 2009″ large-scale military exercises. India’s defense budget office, a China expert Bhartendu Kumar Singh recently in leading Indian think tank Institute of Peace and Conflict Web site published an article called People’s Liberation Army “Beyond 2009″ military exercises there are four considerations to identify operations in the remote and unfamiliar areas may encounter to obstacles. In the article, the author also suggested that careful study of the Indian military, the PLA conducted a series of exercises the following contents for restraint tactics.

The article said that all the world’s countries will carry out military exercises, China is no exception. In fact the most recent number of military exercises held in China is much higher than other countries, some exercises on land, there are some in the ocean waters. The focus of the exercise include intelligence acquisition, joint command and control, and joint logistics. After 1979, the PLA will then have not conducted large-scale operations. Therefore, the PLA needs to enhance its mobility. “Beyond 2009″ is China’s largest-scale tactical military exercises, its mobile operations as part of capacity building. The exercises will continue two months on the assessment of regional significance for the global perspective, India may be one of the goals of its drill.

mainland of China, a country, precise and rapid mobility of forces is the only way to achieve modernization. Recently, the PLA has improved its internal and external regional operations support capabilities. For example, in May 2008 Sichuan earthquake, the PLA has deployed thousands of troops quickly. However, the PLA faces can not provide timely logistical problems, which makes a number of forces due to the lack of necessary equipment and supplies and carry out effective disaster relief work. Therefore, China’s January 2009 “Defense White Paper,” proposed to “establish and improve centralized, structured, responsive, and authoritative and efficient national defense mobilization system.”

article that China held a “beyond 2009″ military exercises in the back with a wide range of considerations. First, China hopes to drill in remote and unfamiliar areas to identify operational obstacles will be encountered. Perhaps this may explain why the northwest and northeast of Lanzhou Military Region, Shenyang Military Region army troops were interchangeable area to drill. Second, the exercise will enable China to detect the logistics and coordination of combat troops, to improve joint operations and remote power projection efficiency. Again, due to the recent China has announced a “revolutionary tactics”, the exercise can also test whether China’s strategic goals and for “local wars under the information” and “non-war military action.” Finally, exercise also can enhance the stability of the PLA in Xinjiang and Tibet, turmoil in the role.

article said that the exercise is still not solve the PLA troops in areas far away from home and maintain the ability to cast the problem of inadequate. This year’s Pentagon report concluded that the PLA only by sea and air transport division to maintain a ground forces and equipment. PLA’s aerial refueling capability is relatively limited, can only support small-scale fleet actions. Meanwhile, the PLA Navy no aircraft carriers, long-distance operations in the supply capacity is insufficient. Unless the PLA Navy fleet with aircraft carriers and sea, or within the next decade will continue to be its ability to limit the projection.

The article said that large-scale PLA exercises also raises a key question: China’s military modernization aimed at gradually increase the goal post who is? Certainly not the United States, although the United States may be in the “2010 Quadrennial Defense Review Report,” which were discussed. Well, the Chinese aimed at the target may be Taiwan, because China’s most advanced weapons are deployed in the Taiwan Island across from the military. Most studies show that China’s military power to adjust more and more conducive to the mainland, Taiwan is increasingly at a disadvantage.

article said, in March 2009, the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s report, the China expert Eric Anderson and Jeffrey Engstrom declared, “in response to the Taiwan Strait crisis, the PLA is preparing to take a series of attacks on measures and increase the difficulty of U.S. intervention. “Rand Corporation report released in July, also said that China may use solid-fuel ballistic missile attack on Taiwan Air Force Base, after the You can use the Air Force started a comprehensive air attack on Taiwan.

article said that, unfortunately, there is no study suggest that the PLA’s modernization is for India. However, the border with India, Lanzhou and Chengdu Military Region could be modernized military exercises. At present the Chinese in Tibet to counter India’s deployment of weapons and can improve the PLA’s rapid mobilization of a large number of information infrastructure are few. Under the assumption that the conditions of war, the Chinese military will likely cross the Himalayas, with lightning speed to reach India’s doorstep. China may deploy medium-range ballistic missiles in Tibet (MRBM) or land attack cruise missile (LACM) to combat the vital parts of India.

conclusion, the article mentioned that India’s ability to counter China? Probably not, because the Indian army in mobility, modernization, and other aspects of combat accuracy are far behind the People’s Liberation Army. The next few days, China will “cross-2009″ military exercises carried out more field exercises. Although not in the recent war between China and India, but India need to examine China’s military exercises and the idea of ??a few scenes of confrontation with the PLA. In this way, the Indian troop movements in the future when dealing with China, will be able to make timely and effective response. Hope that the Chinese “cross-2009″ military exercise military planners in India to get the proper attention. (Compiled: Spring)
