I am praying however that the Indian establishment hurries with its procurement of BMP replacement (WHaP or something) and a medium weight tank (Arjun as good as it is in the plains of Rajasthan is too heavy for the mountain). Fast!As the things are unfolding currently, the Chinese campaign in Ladakh is turning out to be a big blunder, I am afraid.
In all, the mighty dragon image of China has been broken.
- The only marginal territory gained in finger areas, they gave up and made it a no man's land. People saying we gave up our claim of area, we used to patrol till F8, do not live in reality. Chinese had motorable road till F4 base and our patrols were always intercepted. So China basically gave up their stronghold on F4-F8, while we had weak to no control on the territory after F4.
- Tried to ambush our soldiers at Galwan, but ended up with more casualties, broken necks, and a general aversion towards fighting Indian soldiers.
- Gave us an excuse to speed up border infrastructure development.
- Reminded us who is the real enemy, now our military doctrine will be China-centric rather than Pakistan-centric.
- Sped up our military modernization and indigenization push.
