加拿大軍事雜誌《漢和防務評論》(Kanwa Defence Review)最新一期雜誌中的一張衛星照片顯示,解放軍沿著邊境地區的班公湖部署軍隊和武器。該雜誌總編輯Andrei Chang說,解放軍在前線機場的殲H-7轟炸機上裝載了武器,顯示他們隨時準備好行動,也是邊防空軍處於二級戰備狀態的明顯標誌之一。他說: “我擔心將來衝突可能會變得常態化,讓中印邊界實際控製線(LAC)變成另外一個克什米爾。”
最新,中國沒有恢復中印兩個外長在莫斯科討論的中印兩軍再次舉行邊境高級指揮官級別的會談。印度媒體認爲中國的動機已很明確,結合中國軍隊在拉達克地區的動員及進入二級戰備狀態,中共可能在冬季來臨之前的十月或十一月對印度采取軍事行動。因爲冬天來臨時,解放軍更沒有機會奪回已失去的領土。 *****XA3wEQUXDu

"India's Troops Displaying Newfound Boldness", says this report. Well, the boldness is not newfound. It’s just that we always wanted peace. China thought we were harmless. PLA had to be taught a lesson. That’s all that there is to this story. *****DyrPMj8bqG

日印簽署協定 美澳日印軍事後勤支援同盟成軍
日本經濟新聞報導,在中國於印太地區日益專斷之際,印度與日本10日簽署軍事供應與服務互助協定。報導說,兩國在印度總理以及日本首相通話後宣布該協議。
印度外務部發布聲明說,“他們同意該協議將進一步深化兩國的防衛合作,並貢獻印太地區的和平與安全”。
印度國防部發布的另一份聲明說,該軍事協議“也將提升印日武裝部隊間的相互操作性(interoperability),進而在兩國確立的特殊戰略與全球夥伴關係架構下,進一步增加雙邊防衛互動”。
六月間,印度也與澳洲簽署類似協議—“後勤相互支援協定”(Mutual Logistics Support Agreement),使兩國可以使用對方的軍事基地。
印度分別與澳洲及日本簽署的兩協議預料也將強化包含美國在內的“四方夥伴關係”,分析家認為相關努力旨在遏阻中國於印太的影響力。
印度金德爾全球大學(O.P. Jindal Global University)國防與戰略研究教授Pankaj Jha說,“該協議完成了四方夥伴的後勤支援網絡”,他指出,印度也與支持四方夥伴關係的國家,包括法國與新加坡達成類似協議,這讓印度有更大的軍事行動範圍,對其在印太地區的海軍遠征提供支援。
