China bigger threat than Pakistan: India
Not to rub in or anything ... | NEW DELHI: India faces a greater threat from China than Pakistan because New Delhi knows little about Beijings combat capabilities, India Air Force (IAF) Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major told a newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.
China has a standing army almost three times the size of Pakistans, according to official figures and defence industry estimates, but it is the lack of knowledge about Chinas military that concerned Major. China is a totally different ballgame compared to Pakistan, the air chief said.
We know very little about the actual capabilities of China, their combat edge or how professional their military is, they are certainly a greater threat, the air chief said.
