Face-off at Rechin La leads to scuffle with aggressive PLA. Situation tense but ground commanders talking
India is yet to issue a formal statement on the latest clash.
The Firing happened at Rechin La
Fake news & exaggerate claim producing handles, ignore all of that anonymous #ASSINET twitter handles.
I believe we should have Firefights on a Daily basis and kill some of their soldiers regularly
Let us see how.long.they can keep hiding casualties
Or they will be forced to escalate using
Artillery
There were similar engagements in multiple locations, it was reported by Indian news channels apparantly back then, I remember reading about it from news anchors.
I am opposed to daily firefight. Soldier has a dignity, courage, moral and nationalistic zeal, but soldiers also have families. Do think about them when you ask for daily firefight. I know the feeling, hence stating that.
In 1962 , the incidents were similar. Small firefights with claims and counter claims , and India convinced that it would all be local like on the western sector .
The Chinese had been planning for 3 years and after building a narrative of Indian inflexibility, launched their major attacks.
Many might not know that though fighting was in many sectors , our substantial reserves were still in middle India when hostilities stopped.
Our indecisiveness is well documented in 1962, with the airforce not being involved.
Many of the old issues persist, biggest being living on hope rather than preparation.
Incase of serious conflict, India should be the one with the over reaction, not the victim complaining about Chinese perfidy.

The Chinese should not be allowed to seize the Initiative
They will withdraw only when their Casualties rise above a certain number
For Four months you have been asking them to leave
Do you think that waiting for conflict to begin is not a tiring situation for the soldiers
We have to stop being reactive
Make them worry about what will happen next
Othwrwise their soldiers will sleep.peacefully and ours will always be on alert
This is what happened on LoC where Pakistan had the initiative and our troops were on " Gaurd Duty "
The nature of the action itself is not clear yet.
If only warning shots were fired to deter the Chinese from doing another Galwan, this is good news, but not a very big event for two countries in a conflict. After reading this from multiple sources attached above, I am getting the feeling that it is being blown out of proportion by the Chinese to gain sympathy.
We should wait for our official version of what happened before jumping to conclusions.
India-China standoff: Indian Army trying to avoid Galwan-like clash, say sources
In a late night development, soldiers of Chinese PLA opened fire near the Pangong Lake in Ladakh. Indian troops fired back in retaliation as a warning, following which the skirmish doused down. Government sources have said warning shots were fired after the Chinese opened fire at Indian...
Didn't understand why this person is referring it as China's interest to have Modi in power for the next 10 years. Isn't it Modi administration currently standing head to head with Chinese and denying them their fruits?
According to the military press release looks like PLA was trying to provoke india into firing the first shot.
Assertive statement by India.
Nice. To the point rebuttal. Based on coordinated articles and statements by the Chinese early in the morning, seems a weak attempt at creating a narrative of Indian aggression.
Really liked our reply.
