So what is the reason according to you think we don't release picture ? I will tell you what I know -
- Mobile phones & clicking pictures during active ops are prohibhited. In secret ops soldiers are not even allowed to carry phones (they click anyway because soldiers are soldiers).
- Putting mirchi on ass and that beheading video were leaked by soldiers, both got massive repurcussions (ask in SF thread).
- Post Galwan there are strict orders not to record or publish any clash or face-off videos with the Chinese.
Somehow GoI wants to keep the entire LAC matter under wraps. Remember they deleted the Western Command gallantry award ceremony after it was revealed soldiers got gallantry medals post-2020 ops.
-----------------------
- Soldiers face-to-face increase chances of further clashes. Any misunderstanding can ignite tensions again.
- Maintaining captured positions above 16000 ft. takes toll on human body and logistics. It was another Siachen in making, which both sides didn't want.
It was more of an opposite. It was face-saving for the Chinese and relief for us. Chinese prepared for this for 2-3 years, pre-empted us, had the upper hand in the initial months but couldn't hold the advantage when we really got serious. All the preparation & hardwork of Chinese soldiers who ate stones on their face to capture the peaks down the drain.
You just justified my signature.
