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


The Chinese have started their Aman ka tamasha. So the calm before the storm has started. News is that the a unit from the PLAAF airborne corps has been deployed to dislodge the IA guys. So we might get into a kinetic action in the next week or so. Hope I'm wrong...
 

Excellent Thread by @Falcon Sir

Next 96 hours are very critical
The report about Airborne troops being brought forward is a bit worrying. If they are here to dislodge our troops from heights, we need not worry as they can't be air dropped on those mountains. Para drop on such terrain will result in a very wide area dispersal of troops which will also be dispersed by altitude. Just a few meter error can make a guy land on peak and another in the valley.
IMHO, these troops are being brought in for Depsang as only that area allows for such airborne operations. They might try to get behind our forces in Depsang and than use the captured area for negotiations.

Sir , we have already decided some Red Lines

If they land behind our positions
It does not give them that particular territory

Once we shoot them , it does not matter
Where they landed

If they.resort to.such tricks then they
Are asking for Bullets

Isn't it possible they are merely being used as special forces?

They can probably access much better intelligence and air support than other types of SF.

If they are used just as special forces, their role will be to drop behind Indian lines and operate.
This seems likely, as given they have moved their AD to mitigat IAF movements. They probably plan on doing something which involves their AF.
This is just a conjecture though, as no concrete information on the ground situation is available.
I wonder what kind of AD we have in place there.[/QUOTE]

That is what I said that if they are here to try and dislodge our forces from the ridgeline either thru direct fight/kinetic action or thru counter infiltration, we need not worry much. For any SF operation to succeed, you need very good knowledge of terrain. IA has specilised SF units for various kind of theatres. You just can't use a jungle warfare SF in Desert. Same goes for PLA specialised units. @Falcon can elaborate better.
 
As a military commander, do you see any scope of handling China peacefully? Given the modus operandi of China, and history of their behaviour it is in my opinion naive to simply trust China that even if this is solved peacefully, they won't come back to repeat the same scenario again at a time and place of their choice. So, is it the long-term goal or the short-term goal which gets the priority from military perspective?


Purely militarily speaking.


Time to take PRC down and cut it to size.

We can do it, we just need to prepare to do it.

It is not going to be through a pure military conflict, but a hybrid approach. Beyond that, will not comment.
 
Nitin Gohklae was saying from the beginning that Black Top and Helmet Top are with Chinks. I dont understand whom to believe. Personally though I dont like that guy too much.


Well in this very thread when he said pp14 was Indian, I called it bullshit and that turned out to be true. I think this one is also wrong. He seem to be more interested in perception management rather than actual facts. Black Top was in the other side of LAC. Even in 1962, PLA had control over it. In 1962, PLA attack on gurung hill was conducted with fire support from Black top. May be he is trying to paint a picture that IA haven't crossed LAC.
