Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates
- Thread starter Shashank
- Start date
A lot of you guys are missing out on some few key details. PKS has come out with some great blogs on this issue in the past 1 month , some of whose links I've posted out here. To those interested, do go through the Q&A's posted there after every blog. They offer a wealth of information apart from clarifications & shedding light on topics not covered in the said article.
As per him, the news of the WTC in chief being replaced a few days ( weeks?) ago went entirely unnoticed in India. He's of the opinion that the PLA botched up the operation & the WTC in chief paid the price. The PLA were to come down in droves right up to the highway we've constructed to DBO & occupy it. They were either to stay put there & claim it like they did mostly in the UPA era where they occupied more than 600 sq kms of our land or vacate it when India gave strict assurances to having abandoned all work towards upgrading our infrastructure there forever.
In the event the quick reaction of our IA & ITBP forces foiled their attempt & they were forced to their side of the LAC. With the benefit of surprise lost, they're now bargaining for diminised returns. This in turn raises interesting questions. Why did Amit Shah issue the statement he did in Parliament w.r .t the Retaking of Aksai Chin from Chinese occupation & ignore the massive vociferous protests of the Chinese for all these attempts by the PLA today had it's preparations made back then. PKS is of the opinion we underestimated the Chinese but also that without dedicated satellite & ISTAR facilities , it's virtually impossible to keep a 24x7 track of PLA activities across the LAC.
In the event we were both lucky as well as the SOPs we've initiated since long given Chinese belligerence in the past held us in good stead namely that we had significant numbers of acclimatised troops in the vicinity who could be rapidly deployed in such an eventuality. That eventually saved the day though it was a close call & we're still not out of the woods.
To those arguing why couldn't we pull something similar on the Chinese & got into a quid pro quo situation , apparently they covered all their tracks very well & deployed their troops in all those areas in the LAC across Ladakh where the IA could pull something similar on the Chinese. That's how the situation is as of the present.
They can squat only if we allow them to squat
But our road work has restarted , so all that they are doing is throwing a Tantrum
And after this , Both Infrastructure and arms Acquisitions will be speeded up
I saw an interview with Gen Panag
He says that Chinese are worried that in 10 years time we will reclaim Aksai Chin
One simple rule of War is that Maps are not permanent
Territorial changes happen in every few decades of time , That is what History teaches us
So in future we can take back what looks like we have lost
PKS also says that a war will happen within next few years
We can only postpone it for some time
We lost 250 km2 or 250 km as stated by the bjp mp??
It's quite a significant piece of land if it is the latter ,still there was no hue and cry.

I am not telling that Aksaichin isn't important, but what i feel is that our target should be Gilgit & Skardu first, its the only gateway for our entry in to oil, gas rich countries of central asia.
I dont see a financial gain in retaking aksaichin or pok (the pakistan occupied kashmir valley ), yeas its our prestigious issue, but we should be realistic too.
I always believed this and just saw a video 2 days back of Ajit Doval from 2012 affirming my belief! That is China can be tamed only when we induct Agni V, that is the capability to hit Beijing and Shanghai! Till then they have the upper hand and I think china also knows this and so it's trying to get its way before that!
Question here.. With India starting heavy deployments in Himachal pradesh in places we hold the terrain advantage.. Is it China that has started deployment all along Himachal, Sikkim, Arunachal, and India doing a mirror deployment or is it in reverse, that it is India that has deployed in strength in the middle and eastern sectors, to stretch the PLA ?
This seems to be a developing story.There's no official or independent confirmation of it save some OSINT sources claiming it. Of course, we need to be vigilant.
Agni V seems to be already deployed. Had seen a pic of Agni V canister launcher in operational colors on DFI many months ago...
I hope we have a fight.. Chinese shenanigans need to have a cost in blood attached...
I fully endorse Saurav Jha's opinion. I want the Chinese to face the wrath of Indian Army.
Saying this for long. USA is the ultimate gainer from the conflict b/w India and China.
Each Excalibur shell is approx INR 1 crore. We already have a factory assembling / manufacturing M - 777 in India. We're going on for S-400 for which we risk sanctions by the US under CAATSA. Where's the scope for THAAD?
I don't know sir. Maybe a panic buying to tackle any immediate eventuality as it seems the delivery will be done far before the arrival of S400. To defend against the barrages of Chinese BMs. As we currently don't have anything to intercept them in their terminal phase and delivery of S400 is still far away.
But if this news is true it clearly indicates that GOI expects an escalation.

We have recieved some real hard stuff from Israel in last four weeks and more are to follow. Just like 1999 Kargil war, Israel is divertings its own stock of reserves to support India with active support from USA. Russians are facing a dilemma of whom to support as they know that whichever way the things go, they are bound to lose one strong weapons importer. They do not trust Chinese but need them for their oil export.
Eventually, Russians will also help India if we are able to take parts of Aksai Chin and dismember Pakistan. That will allow a direct pipeline of oil to India from Russia. What they lose in China, they will gain in India.

Let me guess, precision munition kits, precision bombs and deep strike missiles, AD missiles, EW systems, Cyber warfare systems.
