Ah! the problem my friends is that they are not too many... otherwise, it is a good source of income in those remote parts where there are no jobs and no useful vocations.. Army pays well including lots of help in terms of food and rations and sometimes clothings..... maybe one odd bottle of Rum as extra incentive.

BRO has to take people from Jharkhand and Orissa as a workforce for road construction..

Ladakh- No water, no sticking soil, No wood, Stones also not available everywhere, the temperature so low that the cement would not stick together ( that is setting problems) - how does Bhoop Singh mark his defence works.. everything has to come from beyond Pathankot.
all shelters and barracks cost four times more .... CGI shelters are useless... lots of Fibre Reinforced Plastic and plywood required
It is a logistics nightmare...

Chinese position is also equally pathetic .....
There's massive construction with prefab materials going on in Leh to accommodate 30,000 troops or two divisions worth. Would be used for transiting troops after acclimatization as reinforcements to fwd op areas in HAA.

Ya'll Nibbiars Fifth round of Brigade Commander level talks between India and China had started today 10am at Chushul opposite Moldo in Eastern Ladakh. We have enough stock of the Chai Biscoot.

So how did they build G219 through our area in 1957 ? Was there a fight or skirmish?🤔
We merely had an outpost at Hajilangar but north/east of that the area was fully under Chinese control by early 1950s only... Neither Brits nor the post-independence GOI bothered to actually establish hold on that region.

It was just a nominal claim on paper until the Chinks inagurated G129, when Nehru govt. tried to reclaim those areas... An action which Chinks called an invasion & started an offensive.

LOL!!! Expelling IN :crazy: I mean do they wish more battering from Navy or the ones from army didn't satisfy them!


Labelling India as a “useful pawn” of the US, military experts in China have warned New Delhi the deployment of its warships in the South China Sea will bear serious repercussions including the expulsion of its warships.

AK-203 order increased to 770,000 units, of which 100,000 units imported from Russia, rest made in Amethi.
and when those 100000 will be delivered?

another question, hoping the troops facing China is having/using some good weapons like Sig, AK and other special forces weapons but not INSAS, right?

approx how many Aks do we have right now? (@mods please edit/delete if sensitive).

Yeah, that they can totally do... IN won't engage that there, but Vietnam Philippines waters would be available to to create nuisance.

I visited different places after reaching Leh. I talked to officers, JCOs and took stock of preparedness. The morale of jawans is high and they are ready to deal with all challenges: Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane in Leh to ANI

The situation along LAC is slightly tensed. Keeping in view of the situation, we have taken precautionary deployment for our own safety & security, so that our security & integrity remain safeguarded: Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane to ANI on the current situation at LAC
