　　China National Day the 60th anniversary reviews troops dropped the curtain, the equipment which the Chinese People’s Liberation Army demonstrated increasingly becomes various countries’ media attention the focal point. Indian media to the Chinese military force always “sensitive”, National Day reviews troops in China, besides exaggerating China “demonstrates muscle”, but also in the detailed correlation Indian armed forces fact strength’s each stratification plane, attempts to discover India in the weaponry aspect disparity.

　　Confessed that fighter plane manufacture domestically is insufficient

　　The New Delhi Television station website’s article pointed out that China National Day the 60th anniversary formation for review and inspection indicated that China became one “superpower”. India another “in growth superpower” has been paying attention to China’s formation for review and inspection as the world in closely, and has made the detailed contrast on Indian armed forces strength’s each stratification plane. In India Armies’ overall scale looked that India has 1.325 million people of military forces, but the Chinese Army’s population reaches as high as 2.255 million people. Besides contrasted Indian armed forces team scale macroscopically, the New Delhi Television station website also detailed according to China, India Air force, navy and nuclear weapon domain, selected the Indian force “superiority” and “insufficient”.

　　The article said that in the air force aspect, China, India equips the advanced fighter plane, but India is inferior to China in the number of warplanes and manufacture domestically aspect. The article analysis said that the China Air Force has 9000 airplanes, 2000 are the fighter aircrafts. With it comparison, Indian Air force has 3000 airplanes, only has 790 is the fighter aircraft. China Air Force’s main force fighter plane Soviet which makes for Russia – 30MKK fighter aircraft and Chinese voluntarily research and development annihilates – 10 fighter aircrafts. On the other hand, in Indian Air force most advanced type for French-made “Mirage” – 2000 fighter planes and Russian-made Soviet – 30MKI fighter aircraft, but so far India’s domestically produced fighter plane had not served.

　　Although India’s aviation industry has to progress, but its main force fighter plane still depended upon to import. At this year’s seventh Indian international air show, the Indian defense ministry ejected the arms sales big list once more, announced that purchases 126 medium multipurpose fighters. In addition, Indian domestic product light aircraft because similarly needs to depend upon the American technology to reach the impass. The defense news net on October 5, 2009 disclosed that the Indian defense ministry officials said that plans with Lockheed – Martin Corporation signs the contract, provides the support for the Indian Navy version design research and development of light aircraft, but Lockheed – Martin Corporation time-consuming are too many through US government’s inspection aspect, to avoid this project dragging, the Indian defense ministry has to seek the partner to American western world. Thus it can be seen, India really has the schoolwork to in the fighter plane manufacture domestically aspect do.

　　Boasted that the navy has the actual combat experience

　　In the navy aspect, India emphasized the actual combat experience and aircraft carrier superiority. This article pointed out that Indian naval power places in the world eighth, has one by 145 the fleet which has the missile attack ability warship and submarine is composed, in addition, India has ordered the most advanced navy fighter plane and aircraft carrier. Indian Navy has also experienced test of actual combat.

　　As early as in the 1960s, India has purchased the first light aircraft carrier from Britain, and names as “Weike Rand”. In 1971, the third Indian-Pakistani war broke out. The Indian armed forces aircraft carrier gives full play in the war. At that time, Indian Navy carried on the strict blockade to the Pakistani major port, has shut off eastern Pakistan with the western marine contact of Pakistan, caused Pakistani Navy unable the thing proper attention to both. “Weike Rand” the aircraft carrier set out the ship-borne fighter aircraft and “trade wind” the antisubmarine aircraft has attacked the eastern Pakistani harbor and military base, afterward also to the Pakistani marine foreign trade channel implementation blockade, won the war to establish the great merit for India. In addition, the Indian media also pointed out that Indian Navy October’s, 2004 tsunami relief motion has also played the role in.

　　New Delhi Television station website analysis said that Chinese Navy has 284 each naval vessels, although is more than India in the warship quantity, but lacks the actual combat experience, in addition, Chinese Navy has not equipped the aircraft carrier at present. This Wen Cheng, China is making the aircraft carrier, it is estimated that will equip in 2010.

　　Said that nuclear deterrent ability falls behind comprehensively

　　In the strategic nuclear deterrent domain, China is in the lead India comprehensively. The article indicated that the Chinese Army is in the lead India in the nuclear weapon aspect greatly, China has 200 to 400 may the nimble deployment nuclear warhead. But India is used in the strategic nuclear deterrent the warhead approximately in 50 to 70, is short obviously in China. India in the nuclear test test explosion’s nuclear bomb equivalent is only 50,000 tons, but the Chinese test explosion’s nuclear warhead biggest equivalent reaches as high as 4 million tons.

　　Besides in the nuclear bomb quantity and might disparity, India is unable to contend in ballistic missile’s multiple warhead domain with China. The article disclosed that at present India’s nuclear bomb delivers the tool including the bomber aircraft and supercruise missile and “raging fire – 2” intermediate range ballistic missile. However, the Indian firing distance farthest ballistic missile combat radius is 2500 kilometers, can only embark one heavily approximately 1 ton single warhead. With it comparison, China had multiple warhead’s delivering ability.

　　Some analysts believe that India craves in does not have the practical significance with Chinese comparison military power, the Chinese military force construction is mainly to safeguard own strategic security and benefit, does not aim at other country.
