3. Their helicopters are hardly working, rarely used and are usually rented to Bollywood.

4. Their intelligence agencies are unprofessional and totally suck.

Now you know why the Pakkies are able to fight them close to a standstill in Kashmir despite having a smaller, fragmented and irregular armed force.

China, on the other hand :

1. Has phased out most of its old Soviet-era fighters and replaced most of them with J-9s, a third generation fighter (A-4 Skyhawk types, with proper upgrades it can match 4th-gen fighters due to its manuverability).

2. Is slated to replace their Type 63s completely with QBZ-03/56s by 2010-2011.

3. Has outdated T-72s mods, but has alot of them.

4. Has immature NV technology, ill-equipped for CBRE, but has excellent troop training (they are significantly fitter than the US Spec Ops troops!)

While India has Su-30's which will just blow out those J-series fighters the PRC has. While the T-90 is somewhat lower ranked than the T-80, who needs those kinds of weapons in such mountainous terrains? India has a decent navy, though.
