My guess is that US will simply tap into Indian C3I/C4I network and play the show from there.[/quote]
That is correct, and no different from any foreign country trying to break an opposing nation's C3I. It has to spend time (and money) to do that, and while it is chasing he clock, Indian systems continue to work correctly. And this cat and mouse game forces India to keep changing encryption to deter enemy access to real time information. That precisely is the point.
OTOH if India buys Trojan horse, there is no black-out time and unkill can kill you at will, every time.
True. Screwed at sea, at least IAF stays in action and free of infection.
