Please don't mind my ignorance.
If what
@mokoman says is correct, then how do you justify the death of Colonel Santosh Babu? Or the fact that the Chinese side used lethal weapons? Can we conclude that the operation launched on 14-15 June was a failure because IA couldn't capture PP14 because of the Chinese side getting back up?
naah man , chinese backstabbed us .
in may 2020 we held not only PP14 but some 1km ahead of it as well.
we withdrew after talks in may itself
however chinese kept building roads and a bridge , then moved forward pitched tents on pp14 on june 15.
i think this was when Col Babu was killed , After that our guys went in not just at PP14 but ahead as well ,
but chinese fuckers brought in more troops and vehicles , i guess we got outnumbered .
check out the sat image from june 16 , few hours after clash , see how many vehicles there are at bottom of image. not only that , but they also started damming the river
even after killing Col , chinese kept up construction through out the night. IMHO this was another reason we crossed the LAC. u can see the below construction vechiles in sat image above.
however . chinese DIDNT WIN , we made them move back , they gave up . buffer zone is right where we wanted it .chinese now claim their border is there . not at PP14.
chutiya walla gave up instead of fighting and now claim victory.
