The McMahon Line was established almost a hundred years ago and has been disputed over since, it lead to a border war 1962 between India and China and there have been other incidents since. This area is still considered "hot" even today between them. China has been spending huge amounts of capital in infrastructure both in rail and road transport. China has had some "firsts" in this area themselves in troop deployments but more importantly military exercises (Which Broadsword has covered in detail as well.), but for me this is about India's push for and desire to attain the T-90MS (Which is on my list.) and the first time armor has been deployed to this area as described, for some this is good reading, for
others this could be a "catalyst" for a scenario or campaign Note also in the article the armor unit formation data which might be of some use as well.

Thought about the scenario etc. forum but it didn't seem to fit there, so enjoy the tank talk. But like the MMRCA,CH-47F, To SPA OR NOT (They just cancelled a 4th tender, though they managed to get down to 2 contenders this time.), AH-64D "LONGBOW" and finally the ARJUN II we might see the T-90MS...
SOMEDAY!
