India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

[AmoghaVarsha]

Humne bhala phenka, to phir Beijing tak jayega.

 

[Sehwag213]

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

They will respond most probably at Despang where they hold advantage.

Not really. Despang topograpghy favours us according to the @Hellfire

 

[AmoghaVarsha]

Is Beijing really in a mood to go to war with a nuclear armed, well equipped, well supplied battle hardened army?

 

[cereal killer]

In case China retaliates it will do in the sector in which it os strong. So it's likely the thrust will come from Depsang area. The area should be mined extensively against Chinese tanks.

The Chinese had built a road from Rudok in Tibet right up to the Spanggur Gap. The road linked the gap with China’s National Highway 219 (that runs through occupied Ladakh and connects Xinjiang to Lhatse in Tibet) and was tankable. If we have captured Spanggur Gap, (I'm not sure we have so far, but according to inside info, we have) it would choke Chinese armoured movements in the area.

These tweets aren't meant for us.

what happens now ?

Can they use drones + precision guided bombs to dislodge our troops ?

I think they been battle testing their drones in Yemen and Syria .

Its low risk , even if we shoot a drone down , wont be much of a loss for them .

Can someone knowledgeable comment on it ?

 

[Pugilist]

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

I wouldn’t say the GOI set out to confuse all as you seem to imply, I suggest their primary aim is to control the narrative by controlling how and when information from the front line is released.

I suspect their reason for this is manyfold including how wild and unruly the media reporting in India can become.

I think the GOI is confident, bold and mature enough to not give a damn about complaints from many quarters about lack of information being released.

We've got an entire armoured brigade in the vicinity plus an indep armd regiment waiting for those Chinese tin cans! Add to that the Apaches waiting to draw blood!

Your answer lies in the question itself.

Loitering drones shine in Uncontested airspace like Yemen and Syria. Anywhere else they are shooting targets.

Je baaat

To be honest more than 80 % o twitter osints and experts are just speculating. Though I wish it was true.

 

[TheSaffron]

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.

Everyone here is cautiously optimistic about the outcomes.

No Confirmation from Govt. But all Onsit Handles Stating that Spanggur Gap belong to us now.

Thing is the area is highly sensitive.. There are reports of Heavy Chinese deployment beyond Karakaoram. I guess Panag pointed out that Karakaoram pass is wide enough to move Artillery & mechanized infantry as well. So it's likely going to be two front attack there. So there is a mechanical brigade sitting at Qizil langar & the other one may come through Karakoram.
That means DBO is much much similar to what Akhnoor is to IA. It will be one bloody encounter.

indian special forces coming............FOR U..................Xi-girls....

 

[IndiaRising]

The reason GOI is not allowing information to flow is because of lessons learned in Kargil. Allowing media personnel too close to active war zones proved detrimental to safety of jawans because their deployments were exposed. Also, do we really need to know what is happening their on daily basis. There are enough provocateurs in India who will start propaganda for even the mildest setback.

According to GOI those areas belong to us. So why would they admit anything.
Did China admit that they have occupied F5 to F8 ?
