At this point it seems that despang plains and many other border regions are practically lost to the Chinese. 2 years have passed and I don't think the govt would try to escalate again.

Found an interesting thing while exploring Chumbi Valley.

Just below the illegally Chinese-occupied Doklam plateau, China seems to have constructed "hardened shelters" for artillery.

Its unique feature is, the artillery can hide inside the safety of hardened-shelter, pretty much immune of counter-artillery fire, and for firing, it can come out in the fortified-front part which is faced towards India.

Only airstrikes (bunker-buster munition) or precision strikes at its opening (<3m CEP) will be effective in taking it out.

2030 pops up again..
=======

It's an general observation i am seeing since last year, some geopolitical predictions are centered around 2030 by think tankers. usually these fellows predict 25-30 years periods.

keep in mind i might have misread things too. next time i come across, i will make a list and post it.

"U.S. and allied policymakers now face a 'decade of danger' through roughly 2030...Unless deterred successfully, Xi likely seeks a major historical achievement regarding Taiwan by the end of this decade, his maximum expected window of personal health and political opportunity."

Not really sure whether its a good idea, to make your artillery pieces immobile in a pit.. In an open space, an artillery battery can relocate or disperse, under own power, after a delivering a heavy barrage.. But, even if hardened, the Chinese artillery pieces would be vulnerable to bunker busters. Even normal bombs which cant hit the artillery pieces, could damage the pits, making it very difficult for the artillery to deploy again..

I used to think that even hardened shelters cant manage heavy artilery rain.

When chinese are showing their bacteria proof underwear , chaddi etc India has also got to show something .. In one video they also showed their squat latrin on the top of mountain and making of hot chicken soup .

I think this case is unique. Narrow Chumbi Valley does not have a lot of strategic depth, and there is only a single highway running straight through the valley giving absolutely zero maneuverability.
Basically, there is no room for shoot-and-scoot tactics like in plains. So I think the Chinese thought it's better to stand ground and armor up rather than be a turkey-shoot for gunships and artillery.

It's almost amazing how China is not losing hope in Chumbi valley given how constricted and strategically vulnerable it stands.

I used to think that even hardened shelters cant manage heavy artilery rain.

Multiple 155mm rain might damage it. But it's generally unlikely for artillery rain to be that accurate to hit a certain area twice without being guided.
