The ongoing war in Ukraine has become a pivotal learning ground for China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which is closely observing both Russia’s challenges and Ukraine’s resilience. Experts highlight that the PLA is evolving its military strategies, particularly in integrating joint operations across air, land, and sea, while preparing for a potential conflict over Taiwan. Key insights from the Ukraine conflict underscore the importance of logistics, the use of unmanned systems, and the geopolitical complexities faced by aggressors. As China enhances its military capabilities, regional actors, including India, must adapt strategically to counter any potential aggression and safeguard sovereignty in an increasingly tense Indo-Pacific environment. The situation emphasizes the necessity for robust defense preparedness and international cooperation among allied nations.
