Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates
- Thread starter Shashank
- Start date
What makes you think that IA will prevent it from being implemented in case of eventuality?
Abhinandan's capture was an event which happened way late in the chain. Most of the stuff that I mentioned happened way before.
Because it hasn't till date? OR more precisely, it has been forced not to implement. Remember, we did sign a treaty with China in 1993 legitimizing LAC. Before it, it was never accepted. Funny thing : we didn't even demarkate what LAC is.
Actually, it cuts both sides if used properly but thats not what is happening. LAC is moving closer and beyond Chinese claims.
I disagree. Indian OP was against a 'non-military' target. OP . SwiftRetort was an attempt to hit one of our military base.
That alone should have been enough as they had the intent to hit our army base. I cannot simply imagine why we didn't push through despite this.
And US intervention was the only thing that stopped it.
Here is the bummer: Islamabad is within the artillery / unguided Rockets range from Indian LoC. Why do you think Pakistan is still able to dare operate inside Indian territory?
What exactly will you achieve by using unguided artillery on Islamabad?
We cannot have this discussion without any proper definition of how much China crossed in this time vis-a-vis where they were as on February 2020.
LAC passes through finger-4. So where are the Chinese now?
Fear. You do terrorist attack and we drop rockets on your capital.
Has it happened? nope!
Plus Islamabad is one of the new cities in Pakistan. Why do you think they built it so near the border?
Umm... here is the trouble. If you accept Indian government's position, LAC is not defined. It is accepted but not defined. So entire point about where Chinese are is actually immaterial. Why? Because we didn't even claim where the LAC is. But for some reason we agreed to the concept of LAC.
One thing - this discussion is going way off topic & MODs will have a field day deleting some these posts
Also, I don't think it is a viable option to drop rockets in Civilian areas unless it is war. We are not Hamas.
This has not been done now. So If where we stand is ours and China claims whole of Galwan, either it will be a stalemate or they have to fight to get it.
Actually thats the crux of the matter. Proportionate response. Predictable response.
Who says we are not in war with Pakistan? What does firing cannons and ATGM looks like? Peace? If it does then I guess our definition of Peace and War are not same as what rest of the world believes in. You define words based on reality not reality based on words.
PS : This is what peace looks like (it is US Canada border. Aptly called "Peace arch").
What does this look like :
I call the above war.
Just saying, that 7-day hospital crumbled and was sorta useless in a little while.
It is not peace, but a theatre (local) fight. A war is much broader. In case of war, you will not see only cannons and atgms in use. Our IAF & IN will participate. So will Pakistan's.
Thats fun. What do you think will be definition of "peace" if adversary were capable of getting away with dropping bombs or sinking ship? That would be new peace for us.
Remember me harping and belaboring about "setting the tempo of war". This is exactly what it is. Our adversary is setting the tempo of war with us. They are doing it for so long that we have decided to call ATGMs and Cannons are "normal" or "not-war" along our borders.
Remember, our adversory was 6-7 times smaller than us.
Now what will happen if the same adversory were 5-6 times bigger? I guess, what is happening now is the logical conclusion of that.
Oh well, easy come easy go.
So according to you, what will you do to set the tempo?
Say, you had to take the call - how will you plan things out to set the tempo?
An update -
Hearing in India Today - Third round of talks might happen in Chushul either tomorrow or day after tomorrow.
World milking India
This was suppose to happen. That's why there is an escalation
West is West! Brainy powerful and cool!
What a crap post. When some friendly country is giving high tech equipment, you are saying that they are milking us. Had they not provided meteor than India would have been saved from milking?
Sounds less and less like negotiations and more like doomed marriage counseling. There's nothing new to say, what the hell are they talking about even?!
Disengagement -> deescalation -> de-induction -> ( ? )
Until and unless de-induction happens, nothing else really matters.
Also, I feel India is trying to hold them in until it starts to snow. They have to leave then. Question is, if IA will do a similar op on them when the snow starts to melt.
Did manmohan singg forgot it there or rajnath? You are NOT getting it for free.
Indian armed forces are addicted to foreign maal. Because at home we nly produce baba khayini and 502 beedi.
Did manmohan singg forgot it there or rajnath? You are NOT getting it for free.
It is not about getting it for free, it is about getting it when we need it the most.
That's a gesture of market. Well appreciated! But Indian proved to be a bad buyer.
