1n Another report, selectively quoting a CLASSIFIED & PROPRIETARY report prepared by my colleagues. Also carefully worded to confuse the reader & gets basic facts wrong. First up the LAC runs at the top of ridge 4. A road between 5 & 8 is nowhere in our side

2n We claim till 8 & patrol till 6, they claim till 2. The gun emplacement in Pangong is a full 23 kilometres away from the ITBP camp at the base of finger 4. the gun emplacement has been there for a Whole Year since May 2019 (images courtesy @detresfa_ )

3n and includes anti aircraft artillery. What’s more there is NO ARTILLERY FACING GALWAN... 10 pieces facing Pangong & 10 BMP type vehicles & 12 tower field howitzers facing Gogra. I’m sorry @shashj IMINT doesn’t lie, sources do & journos frequently only see what they want to see
4n We’ve done sat scans on 80 Cm resolution satellites for these dates in May
Pangong 4th, 20th, 24th & 29th
Gogra/Hot Springs 16th 17th & 20th
Galwan 16th, 22nd & 27th
This is as real time as it gets & the rest of the story doesn’t CHECK OUT
5n we have also noticed an Indian buildup, commensurate & equal (and in my opinion reassuring) to the Chinese one - but being an Indian I refuse to compromise the locations, force levels or equipment of these installations. You can refer to the tweet below

6n covering all the alleged “invasion” areas Gogra, Pangong & Galwan. Note what few TENTS the Chinese are putting up are on THEIR SIDE

7n foxhole has been covered by @detresfa_ 5 days back: 4 boats were spotted on the CHINESE SIDE & THEN THEY LEFT. You hardly expect them to have crossed over to occupy the Indian Bank west of the ridge but left their supply boats on the East

8n & yes they did come deeper into Galwan than previously but were pushed back. There is however something serious that has happened WRT precious natural resources. I am not at liberty to disclose that & it is a serious breach of trust by the Chinese.
