Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates
- Thread starter Shashank
- Start date
Do you actually think the PLA would consent to terms like their withdrawal upto 30 kms & the IA withdrawal upto 15 kms only regardless of the advantages of advance infrastructure they enjoy there? I've seen barely a few of the hundreds of tweets this handle has generated come true. One of the reasons if MSM reported news is taken with a pinch of salt, OSINT handles ought to be taken with a fistful of salt.
'Breakthrough' in sight in India-China military stand-off on LAC , India moving ahead cautiously

Considering there is an element of truth to that tweet, why are we allowing face savers to PLA?
I have some serious doubt about the authenticity of this tweet. Looks like a stupid thing to do on our part.
Looks like a deadlock to me. Only thing certain is there will be more talks. China won't go back.
The onus is on us to push them back. The more time we allow them to sit there, the worse it will get for us.

Those advantages seem to work both ways actually.
When it comes to radars, they are also on lower altitudes once you go east of the Karakoram. So all our jets will also come in from higher altitude. And they have more AWACS than we do. Plus their fighter jets have AESA radars, which will easily match if not gain superiority over what we already have.
As for proximity, that's the idea behind the distributed air bases. We are talking about a dozen or more bases from merely 100Km to the LAC to 200Km. You can imagine what the situation will be like if the Chinese build 4-6 airstrips at 100Km from LAC all located within Aksai Hind, each holding 8 J-10Cs in underground hangars with enough consumables stored to last a week.
With multiple regiments of S-300 looking up and as many as 2 regiments of J-10C at the beck and call of the local commander, there really is no advantage to the IAF.
You are inadvertently feeding ideas to PLAAF mandarins.
The stuff I've pointed out is called FOB, FAB, ALG etc in military parlance. They go back to WW1 and were used a lot during WW2.
Advanced landing ground - Wikipedia
We have 7 such "known" ALGs activated in Arunachal Pradesh. And we have 3 activated in J&K/Ladakh. And more are being built.
The Chinese have already set up many such bases as well. Many existing airstrips have been turned into bases, and new airstrips are being built. The Chinese are not foolish enough to play with us with inadequate infrastructure.
Someone called it "mutually assured construction". Within the next 2 years, both India and China are expected to have more or less the same amount of infrastructure on both sides. We will match them in border roads and they will match us in airfields by the end of 2022.
We should seriously stop making such useless statements. Instead actions should speak. Too many statements like that we will end up becoming like pakistan.
I sincerely hope this isn't old wine in new bottle where we withdraw a few kms within our own territory & the Chinese withdraw a few kms from our own territory & still get to keep the rest of our territory.
I do not accept withdrawal from kailash Hills. It vl be suicidal for us.
I would call it Chinese jhumlebaazi. Because if it was true Ajai shukla and Pravin Sawhney would have cried hoarse with this development..
A powerful leadership would have demanded immediate Chinese withdrawal from Depsang and Gogra Hotspring regions, and in north of Pangong tso upto Khurnak fort with the are b/w F8 and Khurnak acting as buffer zone and no Indian withdrawal in South of Pangong tso.
We have caught Chinese by balls and I don't see any reason for an early solution on Chinese terms, we don't have to give them a face saver.
