Thanks for keeping an eye on this build up.

Also of note is Indias naval build up and Pakistans submarine capabilities

India's naval buildup is aimed with one eye on the PRC esp with regard to it's aircraft carrier & N-sub programmes & a smaller one on it's proxy,Pakistan.You've probably not heard that Japan,Vietnam,Singapore & the US have all held regular exercises with the Indian navy over the past 5-6 years.

You are weclome. I take all of that (India and Pakistan) into account in detail in my series.

The Pakis are on China's side -- in any war with China, Pakistan will fight shoulder to shoulder with China -- after all they have Chinese-made nuclear weapons and Chinese-made missiles (via North Korea).

The Pakis are on China's side -- in any war with China, Pakistan will fight shoulder to shoulder with China -- after all they have Chinese-made nuclear weapons and Chinese-made missiles (via North Korea, in exchange for nuclear weapons to NK) AND they gave the Chinese the tech for making the Chinese copy of the F16 (the plane we sold to the Pakis)
