加拿大军事杂志《汉和防务评论》(Kanwa Defence Review)最新一期杂志中的一张卫星照片显示,解放军沿着边境地区的班公湖部署军队和武器。该杂志总编辑Andrei Chang说,解放军在前线机场的歼H-7轰炸机上装载了武器,显示他们随时准备好行动,也是边防空军处于二级战备状态的明显标志之一。他说: “我担心将来冲突可能会变得常态化,让中印边界实际控制线(LAC)变成另外一个克什米尔。”
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

印度已与美国、日本签署类似协定,在印度与澳洲签署这项协定后,象征美、日、澳、印四边对话机制已完成军事协同合作的法律和运作架构。(网摘)
日本经济新闻报导,在中国于印太地区日益专断之际,印度与日本10日签署军事供应与服务互助协定。报导说,两国在印度总理以及日本首相通话后宣布该协议。
印度外务部发布声明说,“他们同意该协议将进一步深化两国的防卫合作,并贡献印太地区的和平与安全”。
印度国防部发布的另一份声明说,该军事协议“也将提升印日武装部队间的相互操作性(interoperability),进而在两国确立的特殊战略与全球伙伴关系架构下,进一步增加双边防卫互动”。
六月间,印度也与澳洲签署类似协议—“后勤相互支援协定”(Mutual Logistics Support Agreement),使两国可以使用对方的军事基地。
印度分别与澳洲及日本签署的两协议预料也将强化包含美国在内的“四方伙伴关系”,分析家认为相关努力旨在遏阻中国于印太的影响力。
印度金德尔全球大学(O.P. Jindal Global University)国防与战略研究教授Pankaj Jha说,“该协议完成了四方伙伴的后勤支援网络”,他指出,印度也与支持四方伙伴关系的国家,包括法国与新加坡达成类似协议,这让印度有更大的军事行动范围,对其在印太地区的海军远征提供支援。
