Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
the "nationalist" BJP/Modi keeping military budgets low for years is like a welcome sign on India's back that tells China, "Come and kick me, please!" When the Chinese can come on our own roads and block our troops from patrolling on our own side, and not a shot is fired, that's ...

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
Seems to be Indian units are still told to just hold position, never advance. So when the Chinese come all the way to the DSDBO/Road to SSN construciton site two miles down the Glawan River valley and tell Indians to stop construction, we do as we are told and stop, like a wet dog would, and complai...

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
That's not how it works in real life; even where we have roads all the way to the border, we don't man the border post throughout the year because it is too cold and too barren and nobody is there on the other side; we come back in Spring, and they also come back in Spring. But if they come back ea...

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
It is far easier and quicker to escalate or respond if your company level formations at the front are armed to the teeth and also have really good motorable access to their patrolling points practically to the LAC. I think that's the major difference right now between PLA and the Indian side; they c...

Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
Lipulekh (and Kalapani area) road has more benefit just for India as a whole, and especially the pilgrims and the pilgrim business circuit. The earlier routes all went far longer and through much of the territory of Nepal and of China/Tibet, benefiting economies along the way. The new route is 80% j...

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
Just to be clear, on google maps these are the cordinates where our road ends 33.740429, 78.746434 and these are the coordinates where the Chinese road starts 33.740429, 78.746434.

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
There is a fabulous looking road, plus what seems like a spur to a future tunnel underneath one of the Fingers. This is west of the marked LAC on google maps, for what that's worth. But this metaled road is built up much further west, up to Finger 2. Then it takes a mountain spur and goes off north...

Re: India Border Watch: Security and Operations
Sorry if I'm Johnny Come Lately to this. Just saw latest reportage from Indan Express re: Pangong Tso tent pitching against the PLA, etc. What caught my eye was the detail that the Chinese are "forecefully" telling Indians to go back and not come past Finger 2. India's perception of the LA...

Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
^^^^^^^ what if the IA and GoI actually want to handle things quietly and away from the public glare. It doesn't work that way. When we are kicking ass, our government is happy to shout about it from the peaks of Himalayas to everybody who will listen. So the opposite of that-- stone-cold silence i...

Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
By nay-saying such obvious videographic evidence, and even making public comments that the border area is unmarked and both armies use such bridges, the Indian Army seems to be legitimizing the Chinese incursion. It is okay to say that sure, the bridge is not built by us-- maybe it's locals who buil...

Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
Reports of a BJP MP from Arunachal making public comment about Chinese intrusion and construction of a bridge over a rushing nallah deep in the India side of LAC. Army's response is to completely brush this off, but I don't quite accept it. Army says that this is in the Fish Tail area where the actu...

Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)
Chinese FM's travel schedule feels like India is almost an after-thought. He is first going to Afghanistan and holding talks with the Taliban alongside Pakistan; then going to Pakistan. Then finally stopping off in India. So it's good that India said "no thank you, come again!" (sorry, fun...

Looking on Google Maps from the U.S., only a few mountain tracks into Bhutanese and Indian territory show up-- although if this article is taken for its word, then China has been firming up its grip on Dokalam Plateau for going on 10 years now. Why the heck has the Bhutanese (and Indian) military co...

Re: Managing Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
My question is: is this the current ground reality? Has India lost Karakoram Pass? Is that no longer an agreed/accepted boundary meeting point between China and India, similar to how so many other mountain passes are along the LAC? Not really. From DBO ALG, Karakoram Pass is 15 km away and patrols ...

Re: Managing Chinese Threat (09-08-2014)
China acts on the principles of "might is right" and of "possession is 9/10th of the law." China has economic might, and thanks to relentless snooping and reverse engineering, plenty of military might as well. And China has used it to claim and then to build on its claims... nobo...
