Chinese military preparations at LAC and India’s answer.
There are quite a few false or may be true reports that Chinese have been upgrading their offence/Defence posture in Ladakh - LAC. Some folks are propagating scare tactic of Chinese plan to post 120,000 troops in the area. That may be an exaggeration but I do believe that as India is building up against the Chinese threat with troops, infrastructure and living quarters, so are Chinese on their side. This type of Chinese propaganda is typical of their war tactics. They, the Chinese, understand the Indian type, who get easily scarred and imagine that God Almighty is on Chinese side hence they will invade this year or next from that side.
India has sufficient forces in big numbers with very efficient artillery and heavy tanks which can make a mince meat of Chinese light tanks and other military hardware, to stop any of their adventurism. They know it, also they are afraid of their Vietnam (1979) defeat hence would not risk anything to have an another defeat. But there is no stopping to their psycho propaganda. Moreover, hungry journalists at the lower end will take whatever Chinese tell them as word of the God, without checking preparations Indian Army has made. Even Galwan Valley where they precipitated a hand to hand combat is very safe. India as per reports built defences opposite sides which will prevent them from interfering with DBSO road. Moreover a bypass road has been connected to DBSO road to reach Daulat Beg Oldi, if ever Chinese ever interfere with that road at Galwan.
That smart move by Indian Army to occupy Kailash Heights two years back has forced the Chinese to build a bridge (two bridges) over Pangong Lake. Unfortunately for them, these are in the artillery range of Indian guns. Hence these are not useful but only tactical moves to scare Indian public opinion. During peace time these bridges will make travel easy instead of going around the lake. In war or any conflict time these bridges will cease to exist on the first day.
Conquest of india or border areas is not on Chinese mind. They want to exert their supremacy with pinpricks by occupying useless snow covered areas. That they will continue. The befitting reply for that is to occupy mountain peaks on LAC like Kailash Heights and threaten their infrastructure.
My point here is that….. if Chinese preparing for aggressive moves in Ladakh then so is India. They will find India a hard nut to crack. Today, india is well prepared and is not lead by peacenik politicians like Nehru of 1962.
