The Indians should sober up and not provoke a war they will lose in one week. China controls 100% of the military supply chain with huge production capacity. India imports just about everything. Once the inventory depletes they are stuffed. China knows how to knock out the S-400 (India's only decent SAMs and there are only so many missiles). They are delusional if they think their airforce has a chance simply because the Su-30MKI has a similar silhouette as the J-16. It will be a case of aerial turkey shoot.
