Another important finding of the 2018 exercise (and a couple of similar ones in earlier years), was that the Chinese would employ these tactics—deploy, raise the temperature and then withdraw after prolonged talks—at least twice in different locations (Ladakh this year, maybe opposite Arunachal Pradesh the next), spread over a period of three-four years and eventually launch a massive attack across the entire Himalayan frontier to settle the border once and for all.

I don't understand one thing. disengagement process means both sides have to compromise or in simple word, take one step back.

China has already intruded 3 steps. so we will tell them to move 3 steps back and that will settle in between but not 3 whole steps back (in theory). so what's the need of this drama and allowing them extra time to acclaimatize and prepare? (may be we are killing some time and waiting for winter).

next, in case we discuss disengagement, our first and foremost point will be vacate finger 4, Depsang, Gogra etc. so what's the point of moving back from other locations? why we are not advancing to some other points where we can, if we can?
At least in Galwan, we know that the retreat has not happened from the stand off point but from PP 14 through which the LAC runs. The LAC in Galwan was not disputed. I believe the same was the case in Hotsprings and Gogra.

I came across an old news, about deploying Smerch in Leh!

probably 2014 vintage

https://www.tribuneindia.com/2014/20140818/main7.htm

  • New Delhi will be moving an armoured brigade, nearly 150 T-72 tanks, to Ladakh and also have Smerch multi-barrel rocket launch units placed at key locations
  • An armoured regiment, 46 tanks, had moved in last year to join the Kiari-based 70 Brigade and is now located at a forward sector, 20 km inside the Line of Actual Control
  • Three Regiments, comprising 46 tanks each, of Armoured Brigade will be co-located with existing infantry and artillery regiments of the Indian Army

"We also tested its transportability on high mountain ranges including half-way up to Leh.

All well and good. But if Trump loses elections and Biden becomes president, it's all over. He is a big fan of China and Pakistan and wastes no time in bashing India and poking his nose in India's internal affairs - from so called 'human rights violations' in Kashmir to abrogation of Art 370 and his mindless opposition to the CAA which he knows squat about. And it will be business as usual with China.
if nations lose their view of USA as a leader . It will guarantee USA”s decline in the future. Many scs allies I believe also have this fear.

China reluctant to withdraw completely from Finger area, India firm on complete withdrawal

So Ajai shukla was right all along, the intellectuals on this forum were calling him "CCP agent", I wonder what they are going to say now.
