1. Near impossible for PLA conscripts to dislodge battle hardened Indian troops from the dominating features.
2. North bank of Pangong Tso too has now become vulnerable to accurate arty fire by observation from these features. Just what the arty OPs needed! PLA positions at the Fingers are now as naked as Jaybirds.

Do you think we will fire artillery, what are the chances that we are going to escalate?

I requested this last time during flare up at Galwan and I am requesting the same again.

If war breaks out we should not over analyze things that we are not sure about and get into conspiracy mode.
The issue is the GOI is, rightfully in my view, tightly controlling information from the frontlines. To fill the infor vacuum especially in his 24/7 infor age, people are filling the gaps in multiple ways:

- Some twits on Twitter are speculating or extrapolating or fabricating. Others are reading and aping these.

- Some journos with good or deep sources are reporting basic facts and filling up rest of the news with hyperbole etc. Other journos are wallowing in their mediocrity.

- Military analyst are relishing being alive although armed with half facts some can be very dangerous.

- Insecure types hyperventilate.

- ignorant types remain blissful.

- Forums like this are a mixture of all the above.

Ordinary punter like me has to wade through all the chaff to find some semblance of the truth.

So basically, you are saying GoI has managed to keep everybody confused. Isn’t it a good thing?
