Nathan just releasd his new OSINT sat analysis
Nithin Gokhale also confirmed it.
From what was available in the news around 30th Aug till 1st Sep is that we crossed the LAC. Took up positions on Chinese side.
Blacktop always had Chinese huts and camp, what was gathered in the news was that we have captured some 45 Chinese and ransacked their huts. Our troops also found some porn magazines there.
Of all the positions mentioned only blacktop has Chinese presence, so if we did capture their troops and found porn in their camp it has to be blacktop.
Satellite images will indicate that camps on blacktop are Chinese because there is a path made by Chinese there which leads to those small huts or tents. SFF raced upto those places in all-terrain scooters, so there won't be any road or path visible from Indian side.
Now if the Chinese are developing in strength around blacktop it only means one thing that they are preparing for an operation there to recapture blacktop.
Also the SSF soldier was KIA when he stepped on a mine on blacktop, so we were there on Aug 30, have we gone down, I don't think so.
As per my acessment, Blacktop is with SFF and not Army. SSF occupying something across LAC sends a different message which is far more threatening and symbolic hence the Chinese discomfort.
I could be worng though.
