At Nyoma, how the IAF turned a sandy surface into a smooth landing ground for its An-32 This is an account of the reactivation of Nyoma AGL back in 2009 (DBO and Fukche were also reactivated at the same time). One hopes this is black topped at the earliest, and our road infrastructure is now good e...

What exactly was debunked? The incursion along the Torsa river is there for everyone to see, the next step they will take is to build up on the ridge line on the east river which gives them a somewhat impeded view of the Siliguri corridor.

Re 2017 Doklam, the Chinese did end up gobbling up a huge chunk of the Bhutanese territory (IIRC around ~10Km visible from sat photos, upto 40km by some recent report), we can't really claim a success by solely by the limited objective of stopping them from getting to the ridge, while the PLA like a...

So all 3 services coincidentally came up with a requirement of exactly 10 drones each? Any now that we don't have money for all 30 we are going to buy a starter pack of 2 each

. One more politically motivated purchase (a.k.a hafta), fettering away the already small capex budget to imports.

Nice catch!
What is even funnier is how the 'Chinese' are saluting the Soviet flag!

That's the flag of the CCP I think.

A protracted civil war is probably the best case outcome for us (of course at this point its just a wet dream for us).

Going by recent open source low resolution sat images, there has been a significant increase in deployment (or at least "activity" that shows up on sat images) over the past 2-3 weeks by the PLA, with some completely new camps (or possibly supply dumps) coming up in rear areas. My guess is...

It appears that the Chinese have moved their forces (I'm guessing mostly armour/ mech forces) closer to the LAC in the last 10 days, they are now ~12km from the LAC (along chipchap river).
