India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
We should have conditioned Chinese access to our market on their support to Pak and their behavior on LAC. Chinese have the best of both worlds. They are arming and supporting Pak, causing ingression on LAC and having major exports to our market.

Dilbu wrote:US shifting military to face Chinese threat to India and Southeast Asia: Mike PompeoThe Chinese threat to India and Southeast Asia is one of the reasons the United States is reducing its troop presence in Europe, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday in response to a question at the Brussels Forum virtual conference.
Pompeo was asked why the US had reduced the number of troops it has based in Germany.
The US Secretary of State said that if US troops were no longer there, it was because they were being moved to face other places. The actions of the Chinese Communist Party meant there were “threats to India” and countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and the South China Sea. The US military is “postured appropriately” to meet these “challenges of our time.”

There is a report that the Chinese Aircraft carrier in construction has gone missing.
They are likely going to teleport it to the Ladakh to help hold the Finger 5-8.
/sarcasm off
It is posturing and huff-puff. They want India to fold and will continue to apply psychological pressure in various forms.
India needs to hold the line.
So far Indian posture has been to de-escalate. That may have emboldened them....
If it does get into a kinetic shooting war, they will throw in their best.
But can they fight on the ground?

Dear experts, I just found this clip Made by a CRPF trooper. https://twitter.com/bhaveshsaspara/stat ... 86976?s=21
He is mentioning that he is heading for the border towards Palin something. Palin is in Arunachal Pradesh. My questions are: what would the CRPFs role be in this case? I was under the impression that this border was manned by the ITBP. Or is it simply to move more or less all possible uniforms towards the border to support the Army? I thought the CRPF is more for internal policing and COIN. Thanks for your help.

Excellent interview with Lt Gen DS Hooda, former Northern Army commander.
2 points that come out of it
1) no 2 neighbouring nations have ever risen peaceful together
2) Chinese are showing hegemony and want to put down India in eyes of world community - basically show India it's place. They don't covet any of the lands where they have intruded.

When analyzing reports about the Chinese having intruded 'X' km inside Indian territory, we ideally need these data-points:
1) Indian territory from which point?
2) Indian claim line?
3) What is the difference in km between the Indian and the Chinese claim line?
+
For example, in Pangong Tso, it is 8 km between F4 and F8.
3) How much of this claim does still hold? As in, how much west have the Chinese already come between 2000-2014?
4) How much of are on our side of LAC do they occupy and in how much do they patrol?
+
- For example in Pangong Tso, Chinese built road in 1999 but have occupied the area now.
- In DBO sector, news reports talk about two things -
(a) area on our side of LAC under physical Chinese control + roads built further west.
(b) Roads built into our side LAC.

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
One question to be asked is what exactly is the mandate given to the Army in dealing with Chinese intrusions across the LAC (as we understand it). On the LOC, any pakistani soldiers crossing over can be and are summarily engaged with all available weapons once detected and either forced back or killed. But on the LAC we seem to have the no firearms agreement which has amazingly held for decades it seems. Even in the current face-off where there were casualties firearms were not used. Our response to intrusions has been to either resolve it using talks or in some cases fistfights and brawls to remove them.VikramS wrote: For example, in Pangong Tso, it is 8 km between F4 and F8.

Is it time that the orders for troops on the LAC should mirror those on the LoC? Any intrusion into our territory across the LAC whether for the purposes of patrolling or infra construction is dealt with in the same manner as a similar intrusion would on the LOC by pakis. I am not advocating for starting a war. Hell we use everything from rifles to artillery and ATGM's on the LoC without starting a full blown war. No reason we cannot use limited localized force on the LAC as well, provided we have enough forces available in the area to deal with possible ramifications in the form of reprisals from the PLA.
Unless this happens, I cannot understand how we are supposed to stop the creeping occupation of our territory bit by bit which is what the Chinese are attempting. Places like Depsang are particularly vulnerable considering the proximity to DBO. If they are building roads on our land, at what point do we give up on the talks (which look more and more like a time-wasting tactic by the PLA for them to continue building up forces) and use localized force (and I'm not talking about sticks and stones here) to destroy or capture that infra which they are building.

Deve Gowda government signed this no arms agreement with China back in 1996 (I believe). Lt. Gen Harinder Singh who is the commander for the troops in Ladakh and Kashmir has given full control to the soldiers. Chinese even tried to get Lt. Gen Harinder singh removed through their mouthpiece Congress. Army General Navrane had to put his foot down and ignore the attempts to remove Lt. Gen Harinder Singh from that area.
Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
Okay, since it is not a rhetorical question, I'm going to hazard an answer. We need the heights for (presumably) : (a) observation and reporting back to senior commanders before the firing starts, and (b) shooting direct-fire small arms from the heights down to the valley once the firing starts.ks_sachin wrote: Why do we even need the heights? That is not a rhetorical q by the way.
They may know the target coords like the back of their hands, but they don't know where their shots are landing unless they have forward observers (OPs / AOPs) reporting the fall of shots back to them.Also in the narrow valley our Arty boys will have a field day no?
By now they will know the coords for maximum damage like the back of their hand.
Turkey shoots generally require the shooter to have the turkeys in direct observation. Without this, the shooter is just firing blind.It will be a turkey shoot.

B ) LAC, mostly, runs along ridges for the most part. Valleys, flat land, and bodies of water are obvious exceptions and are contested. That white line is about 10-12 storied building climb
C) IA has fully trained men to climb and run down such mountain faces, fully kitted. I am not sure, but, I think such men are trained for both high altitude and mountain. (In addition in guerilla warfare?)
Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
Additionally, while most borders tend to be either along the highest ridgeline (which is why Everest, K2, Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, etc are on borders) or at rivers, WHICH ridgeline, or which river might be contentious... We see this in the Hot Springs area where the Chinese are claiming a triangular portion enclosed between two tributary streams coming down from the high ridges. I suspect Pangong Tso is also a similar situation. Not to say that any of these claims are valid; just that this logic provides the Chinese with some fig leaf to claim an LAC position that is unrealistic and untrue.
We also see the same issue with rivers in the Lipulekh area, and even between China and Nepal, where the borders were demarcated based on the river, but thanks to upstream Chinese water works, the rivers themselves are changing course, effectively moving the border in China's favour (they only have 100 or so border pillars along the Nepal-China border compared to 8000 or so between Nepal and India).

Here is the background:
- GOI's knows that settling the border is hard. The CCP wants to do it in its own terms. GOI would like to do it in her own terms.
- A lot of the terrain in question is at heights which can not be occupied through out the year. Permanent presence there is going to be expensive to maintain.
- There is also some understanding that the area vacated by the PLA after the 1962 war would be treated as a buffer with limited Indian military presence. This is something I read recently but do not have a reference.
- PLA has been doing sporadic construction in that buffer area. However their pace has picked up a lot over the past 9-12 months.
- So the PLA has decided to exert their version of the status quo more aggressively. india is asking PLA to restore the status-quo.
- Their build-up is strong and unlike anything seen earlier; they are also linking up with the Pakistanis
- From what Panag https://theprint.in/opinion/china-is-on ... ry/448105/, their interest right now is to exert their authority as the Biggest Dog in the world, and get other neighboring states to pay tribute to them.
Indian Plan to Hold theLine
- Mobilize armed forces and ensure that PLA does not cross Indian red-lines.
- PLA stopping the flow of the Galwan was one such red-line. IA took appropriate action.
- Use diplomacy and talks to figure out a solution.
This is going to be a hard decision for India. Either she will have to
(a) Yield and make some concessions.
(b) Hold the current line, bide time, and build strength to resist
(b) Go kinetic and take military action to restore the status-quo.
The first one is what the Chinese typically prefer; winning the battle without firing a shot.
The third one is the more risky choice for both the countries. Any conflict can spiral to a level which is not planned. And it can put India's economic development back. PLA also runs the risk of losing some land battles.
The second one is perhaps the safest one for both in the short to medium turn. Chinese will continue to exert pressure, and keep India on the defensive. India will continue to hold the line with continuous talks and pressure.
The good thing for India is that national elections are almost four years away. So any holding the line or concessions right now may not have a huge political cost for GOI.
Indian Preferences: (b) (a) (c)
Chinese: (a) (b) (c)
Hopefully this is also a wake-up call to India to:
(a) Ramp her MIC and domestic arms industry
(b) Form closer partnerships with other like-minded democracies worried about the rise of the CCP led PRC. My sense is that India will have to provide the men; others may chip in with material.
One thing for sure: the post pandemic world will be different from the pre-pandemic world.
India's situation is more complicated since the outcome of the US election, and US attitudes towards China are unpredictable.
There is uncertainty about how Trump will deal with China in his second term if he gets re-elected. Will it be more pressure, or was the stance only to get him re-elected and he will focus on his own personal business interests.
There is also not much clarity on how far Biden's team would go to push China.We do not expect the Trump type rhethoric. However, will the pressure continue in the background or things go back to business as usual.
