In Ergänzung zum Pakistan vs. Indien-Strang und Quintus' Hinweis auf den Gebirgskrieg bzw. die Spannungen, die auch zwischen China und Indien bestehen: Die hier genannten Systeme (die alte 40-mm-Bofors-Kanone) sind zwar nun keine bahnbrechenden neuen Systeme, aber durchaus bewährt. Quasi alt und hässlich, aber auf kurze Distanzen (und durch Radar gelenkt) immer noch nicht zu unterschätzen...

Zitat:India Deploys Upgraded L-70 Anti-Aircraft Guns on China Borderhttps://www.thedefensepost.com/2021/10/2...uns-china/
The Indian Army has deployed upgraded L-70 anti-aircraft guns along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) separating India from China. Deployment of the upgraded gun system is part of India’s initiative to improve its overall operational preparedness amid an ongoing standoff in eastern Ladakh that began last year. [...] The L-70 is equipped with a muzzle velocity radar that enhances its accuracy. The gun can also be integrated with tactical and fire control radars for added flexibility.
In addition to the anti-aircraft guns, India has deployed M-777 howitzers and Swedish Bofors guns along the China border. [...] The weapon has been equipped with new electrical servo drives, high-resolution electro-optical sensors, thermal imaging and daylight television cameras, and a laser-range finder. In September, the army demonstrated the weapon’s capabilities when it intercepted a 0.6-meter wide commercially purchased drone. However, despite the successful test, the system needed to be further refined before it could be deployed to protect territory.
