A small look at what IA has done. The lessons learnt from Siachin have been very well applied in the present situation. Instead of going for spurs called fingers in PT area, we went in for the ridgelines like we did in saltoro range. Dominating the ridgeline, allows us to dominate each and every spur emanating from that ridgeline and allows us to rapidly move our forces from one spur to another while maintaining the height. This allows us to dominate all spurs at the sametime. PLA thought that we will try to dislodge them from the F4 spur, but we moved in from north and have occupied the ridgeline from which these spurs originate from. We are now dominating the area upto sirijap.

In the map above I have shown the ridgelines being occupied/dominated by India and likely future movement of IA. Next place of importance is the Kongka la. If we can break out from there and reach in between Galwan garrison and kongka la garrison, we will be able to decimate both the divisions of PLA deployed in the Aksai Hind area with hardly any PLA soldier being able to get out alive.
It was the practice of British to define borders along ridgelines, middle of valleys and middle of rivers. Chinese were busy occupying ground and we occupied the ridgelines.
The line in the south looks a bit off at the point that goes up to our claim line. There's a river blocking the path to the east of Rezang La. Soldiers would have to go across the river to make it to the end of the line.
