I have some bad news from the Gogra-Hotspring area. I will post analysis with satellite pictures in some time.
Recently latest high-resolution satellite images of the Gogra-Hotspring area have been made available on Google Earth.Our forces have thinned out our presence, while PLA hasn't???
1) Hot Spring Area :-
According to the latest imagery (11th Feb 2021), we have lost land to China.
China seemed to have previously crossed with a significant amount of forces and equipment, as the tent marks and clearly visible. Still today, their camp seems to contain around 12 tents and remains unchallenged by us.
A closer look at the same area, Chinese tent marks are visible along with the Chinese camp.
A little inside the Chinese side, they have reinforced with a massive amount of troops and equipment, including artillery and tanks.
2) North of Hot Spring (unnamed area) - coordinate is 34deg. 32min. 23.53sec N 78deg. 38min. 11.57sec E.
China intruded around 2 km inside LAC, starting from Mid-May. But for some unknown reason, pulled-back within LAC limits starting July, and completely went behind LAC by the last week of July.
What is baffling is, we have absolutely no presence in that area apart from a mud road, (even now) as if Army couldn't care less.
3) General Area Gogra
Perhaps this all might have made sense if we were at least trying to oppose or confront China by aggressive deployment, but the exact opposite is happening. By January, we started to pull back troops from the Gogra-Hotspring area, which was not mirrored my China.
Now currently, our combined total strength in the Gogra-Hotspring area remains shy of 300, that too may be an overestimation, versus more than 2000+ strength of China in that area.
