Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates

He is not short of people any time soon. Besides, Rajya sabha is a good retiring place for any one shunted out.
Everytime he needs to sacrifice someone.. he loses political capital both within and without BJP. Although , he has lots to spend, he should be careful..
 
I don't know how much SSB is capable of gathering stuff across LAC as compared to SFF but need of the hour is some 1980's style SFF ops.
Long short answer.
Answer - 1
SFF consists of mostly Tibetans - Monpas, khampas , other Tibetans, etc. Good fighters but they couldn't save their own country.
SSB - mostly consists of Gurkhas, Bhotiyas, etc. Excellent fighters. Never lost independence.

Answer -2
SFF is a covert fighting force / special forces unit under operational command of R&AW just as SAC / SOG with various components drawn from the Green Berets, Navy Seals ( Devgru) , Rangers, Delta Force, etc under operational command of the CIA.

SSB - border protection para military force primarily posted on the Nepal, Bhutan & parts of Bangladesh.

Take your pick & decide accordingly which unit fits your needs
 
What makes you beleive that they have not suffered causalities, There are causalities on other side too. But since you know how they and their media operates, you may not get the exact data. There are info but not confirmed, so dont want to speculate....

Because it looks more like a Chinese ambush with iron rods & knives. If that is the case, the company Indian forces is unlikely to be armed with iron rods & knives.

I read somewhere that troops patrolling the LAC don't carry weapon to avoid some trigger happy bloke from starting a shooting match.
I guess it is time to re-think on that if the above statement is true.

This was a planned assault to take out CO. If India is brushing it under carpet then it's loss of face for us. We don't even know if PLA retreated 5km as they were supposed to.

We should have taken out those PLA troops in the night itself and kicked them out. That would have been an appropriate response.

Obviously the SFF local tibetans. For example, the PLA were carrying knuckles rods, knives and other lethal tools. Were the chaps on Indian side aware of this info? It seems there was lack of local info at IA's disposal.
Because it's not about defending or fighting I am talking about, it's about penetrating and getting what you need. SSB may do well across Indo Nepal border but I doubt they will be as efficient as SFF.
Exactly that kind of local support what Pakistanis get in Kashmir.

When you let enemy sit in your territory for months then naturally next logical step is he will slap you, once you develop tolerance to his slaps, then he will kill you.

Doesn't matter how much we want peace and obfuscate war, we need to give an appropriate dose to China, a dose that will ensure peace for decades, like before. No babudum will help now.
