India-China 2020 Border conflict

[THESIS THORON]

Must watch! Great stats.

1. We are building 1.5km road per day in border area.
2. By July 2020, 30 new roads came up
3. By 2022 66 new roads will come up
4. Border infrastructure has gone up by 77% in 7 states and 2 UTs
5. 40% jump in Ladakh sector
6. 173% jump of infrastructure development in Uttarakhand and Himachal
7. 104% jump in AP
8. Funds increased from 4000 crore in 2015 to almost 11000 crore in this financial year
9. 102 new bridges coming up with 48 completing this year. This is additional to 44 bridges inaugurated by Defence Minister last year.
10. 19 new tunnels coming up. 8 in Ladakh, 8 in AP
11. 29 Air Strips created. (I have my own doubt. This could be helipads)

Liberandus: Itne acche road banayege toh abdul puncturewale ka nuksaan ho jayega naa. This govt is anti-puncturewalas.

Lol britain and it's delusions.

Most powerful U.K fleet which has an American destroyer Norwegian frigate and American f-35 very british indeed.

Also they are totally bypassing the Taiwan strait lol.
2#'#$
Nobody cares about them or their shitty fleet lmao.

Most major countries in Asia already have a bigger and better navy than UK.

They may have a single aircraft carrier but their brains are 10x better than the Yankees. They are expert in creating long term chaos with limited resources.... History is the testimonial to this.

PLA camped its forward troops in Sirijap, look like they built new camp post April 21, a dense deployment is observed from satellite images. Forces that was moved back to Rohtag earlier during disengagement is pulled back to Sirijap in last 1 month. @mokoman @mist_consecutive
can you verify

yea man , i pointed this out 1 month ago

India-China 2020 Border conflict

@HariPrasad-1 100 billion usd + well feasible before 2024? Does this include the emergency purchases made?

defenceforumindia.com

@Deadtrap posted hires pics of that area.


They are also wideing the road in galwan valley , they constructed a camp , also widening area on banks near buffer zone.

i think they will eventually try to tar the road . and build a post near buffer zone end.

of course , its all outside buffer zone so they have right to do so.

by seeing this i can say full scale war inevitable

IndianArmy Chief Gen MM Naravane : "There can be no de-escalation without complete disengagement at all friction points in eastern Ladakh and the Army is prepared for all contingencies in the region"

So he is literally saying we will sit their for ages until PLA troops pull back peacefully from the occupied positions. This kind of repeated gandhian statements from chief of army is really getting embarrassing nowadays.

@hit&run Iam also seeing lots of activity on media lately. IA General's latest interview, many 'Blue Tick' twitter handles tweets and now this video.

Your prediction may indeed come true.

Now this, more War Bells ringing.

Pentagon Special Forces nominee says US should ‘strongly consider’ training Taiwanese guerillas against ‘Chinese invasion’

US President Joe Biden’s nominee to oversee the Special Forces said officials should “strongly consider” deploying American commandos to Taiwan, where they could school local troops on how to deter a potential “Chinese invasion.”

Hmm, so drums of war may be beating (again). Hope we are better prepared this time.

Indian Deployments -

• At Galwan, it has nearly been doubled.
• Gogra (PP17, PP17A, and back areas) slight increase.
• General area Pangong Tso (F1-F3, Rhongo, Chusul, back area Nyoma), slight increase probably to match Chinese strength.

Chinese Deployments -

• At Galwan, no detectable increase in forward areas, a significant increase in back areas.
• Gogra/Hotspring, a significant increase in back areas.
• General area Pangong Tso, increase in deployment especially making huge permanent barracks (Sirijap).

Indonesia Built a Damn Tank Boat
It's a tank. And a boat.

BY KYLE MIZOKAMI
MAY 10, 2021

FACEBOOK/TANK BOAT

• Indonesia is developing a unique boat for so-called “brown water” warfare.
• The “tank boat” is designed to carry more than 50 troops—and the firepower of a tank.
• The tank boat will be used to defend the Indonesian archipelago from external threats and pirates.

Is it a tank that floats like a boat, or a boat that shoots like a tank? Indonesia’s new Antasena Tank Boat just might be both.

The long-promised hybrid vehicle is capable of patrolling 600 miles on a single tank of gas—perfect for defending a country made up of thousands of islands. Tank Boat can carry more than a platoon of Indonesian Marines and features a tank-like turret to provide fire support.
After years in development, Tank Boat finally began sea trials off the coast of Banyuwangi, a town in East Java opposite the island of Bali, on April 28, according to the Indonesian defense blog Indomiliter. Indonesia’s Ministry of Defense purchased one Tank Boat from defense contractor PT Lundin and will reportedly buy “lots” if testing is successful.

Tank Boat as shown includes a 105-millimeter gun turret, .50 caliber remote weapon system, and electro-optical sensor mast.


PT Lundin designed Tank Boat with Indonesia’s unique geography in mind. The country of 253 million people is made up of 17,508 islands, with only 6,000 of those islands inhabited. That adds up to a staggering 61,567 miles of coastline—more than five times that of the United States. Indonesia faces two challenges: external defense, which could involve moving troops quickly from one island to the next, and internal piracy, which sees organized crime syndicates using the country’s vast web of islands to hide and stage attacks.

The Soviet Tank That Changed the World
Tank Boat is meant to operate in so-called “brown water,” or coastal areas where the land meets the sea. The boat incorporates a catamaran design, which gives it a large internal volume, stability at sea, and a shallow draft of just 3 feet. That shallow draft comes in handy for a boat designed to land troops from the Korps Marinir, Indonesia’s Marine Corps. Tank Boat is designed to carry up to 20 Marines (although some sources say up to 60) for landing purposes. Concept art shows Tank Boat anchoring off a beach and disembarking Marines into shallow water.

A trade show display of Tank Boat featuring both the 30-millimeter and 105-millimeter gun turrets.

Tank Boat’s dimensions—59 feet long and 21 feet wide—reflect the catamaran hull. The vehicle is equipped with two 1,200-horsepower MAN engines and two waterjets. A foil elevates the hull at higher speeds, reducing drag and giving Tank Boat a top speed of 40 knots. The boat has a maximum range of 600 miles, which means it can travel from Washington D.C. to Boston on a single tank of gas.


None of this is all that unusual for a shallow draft military patrol boat. What makes Tank Boat stand out, of course, is the tank part: a tank-style turret designed to provide fire support for dismounted troops. Indonesian Marines might travel hundreds of miles and fight a battle at the end, using only the weapons they brought with them.


If the Marines travel by Tank Boat, those weapons could include a turret armed with a Cockerill 105-millimeter gun. The gun is capable of firing high explosive shells and anti-tank shells, and its 42-degree elevation gives it the ability to fire like a mortar or howitzer at non-line of sight targets. The gun can even fire the Falarick gun-launched missile, which can engage tanks with a high hit probability out to 3 miles.

CGI concept art shows the serious firepower Tank Boat packs: 80 Marines wading ashore covered by four 105-millimeter guns and four .50-caliber machine guns.

The Tank Boat also packs a remote-controlled, 7.62-millimeter machine gun. That’s a lot of firepower for a 60-foot long boat. The current test boat is armed with a smaller 30-millimeter autocannon, but the larger turret still looks like it’s part of the plan.Could something like Tank Boat be useful for the U.S. Military? Well, the U.S. Marines are currently reconfiguring to operate in the South China Sea, across island chains such as the Spratlys and Paracels


But while a vehicle like Tank Boat sounds like it could be a worthy addition, the Marines would be facing off against the People’s Liberation Army—not pirates—and thus require larger ships to carry weapons such as the HIMARS rocket launcher, air defense artillery, and anti-ship missiles. U.S. Marines will also bring their own heavier supporting firepower: Instead of a boat-mounted gun, Marines could call on air strikes by F-35B Joint Strike Fighters, AH-1Z attack helicopters, and even the 5-inch guns from Navy destroyers.
Regardless, Tank Boat could be a very useful tank—or boat—for the Indonesian military and other armies—or navies—tasked with securing similar countries. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense claims Tank Boat could be operational as early as next year.

would a fibreglass boat be able to handle the stresses of recoil from a 105 mm gun?


but then again AC130 did manage to add a recoil compensator for M102 gun in the plane.
