This link was posted earlier and thanks for that
What an amazing video with details of road connectivity, pass details, past flash points. Puts all the moronic media to shame on how to explain the importance of the recent IA's moves.
The fingers ( F1-F8) are not the key.. Good to have and should push to F8..
The key is Spangur Tso lake & the entrance to Chusul..Losing the fingers can affect Chusul later but losing Spangur Tso will affect it now.
I have a Google Earth KML project of this whole area with all spots marked. If there is interest I will share the link, so you can zoom, tilt, pan and marvel at the challenge IA has taken on.
After such a long and educative video, it seems you have not fully understood it.
The Northern bank is equally important as the Chinese can develop operations towards Lukung and Tangtse along the fingers. The difference is that it might not be a large scale mechanized operation but only an infantry operation.
Once in Lukung, you can develop operations towards;
* Gogra - Hot Spring...
* Shyok - Galwan
* Towards Leh
* Go the southern bank and come down to Chusul ...
* Threaten / capture Nubra valley axix...
Only rocks on Finger three are required to be blasted to connect the road. Northern bank and fingers are equally important.. There is no use defending Chusul if Northen bank is gone.. and Chinese reach Lunkung..
Now, who will tell that to ITBP..??
