  1. Don't underestimate the Himalayas. The Himalayas would be like mountain trench warfare. Drones don't work well because of the height and thin atmosphere not to mention line of sight issues. China will likely try to hit the Siliguri corridor rather than hit the Northern Himalayas. Most likely what'll happen is India might get badly damaged because of Pakistan's lack of no first use doctrine when it comes to their nukes. That's a huge wildcard and Indian strategic planners have acknowledged a two front war Myanmar is actually a battleground between India and China, right now. When push comes to shove, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal will come to India's side. (Their Foreign policy acknowledges it). Iran will sit this one out, they seem to be trying to move into a very neutral position.
