I inferred from that post and even the present one is that terrain is out of your reach.
So we will strictly follow military logic..... no bunkum.
What terrain?
Marked. Rough approximation. Let's have the military logic and .... no bumkum.
Fig 1: LAC as approximately held denoted by red line (for the Lake). Territory of own forces with blue/violet. Enemy forces red.
Fig 2: Example of placement of 1 x Zu 23/ Bofors L-70 on either banks
Fig 3: Example of siting of Zu-23/Bofors L-70 on either side. Own bank (from POV) in reverse slope.
Weapons proposed:
Bofors L-70 40 mm - range 12500 meters
Medak 30 mm - range 4000 meters
Zu-23 23 mm - range 2500 meters
14.5 mm FAT (KPVT; if any are around still apart from few sector stores) - range 3000 meters
So time and space has meaning to you. It is very important though.
Interesting. Why, was it an exclusive attribute?
What exactly makes you think that I have neither the concept nor the experience of being able to talk of mountain/desert/high altitude/amphibious/airborne operations?
Capacity to hold a piece of ground also has a factor called enemy - who easy is it for the enemy to take it.
Since you insist:
Note the word means an ability - in this case, to hold ground. What determines the ability to hold ground in adverse situations wherein an enemy is expected to launch offensive ops?
Principles? Ok the principle simply is to screw the enemy. establish a bridgehead . expand and breakout. It it can be done on Satluj. Chenab, Sindh River or Hakara canal why can not it be done on Pengang Tso.
Look carefully at the maps posted above. Geographical constraints?
Offensive ops across Canals in plains have the advantage in flexibility of choosing the breach/fording points depending on assessment of enemy strong points/weakness where as in case of Pangong Tso? Really? Is that what you are going to throw?
The troops will come by boat. You Zu-23 would have fu**ed by heavy 155mm shelling or a direct shot of RPG or bigger guns on assault boats.
Really????
Please do educate me on the probability of a 155 mm in eliminating a bunker with a 24 inch concretized structure and a 12 inches overhead sand/earth protection, located on a reverse slope/reinforced in plain area? This, a structure giving a 36 inches overhead protection and reinforced for 203 mm caliber.
There will contest to capture the shore. After foothold is established it will be expanded by further penetration and waves of troops will land.
How? Again, you are dissecting and arguing for a case which you have placed on a very weak pedestal.
Your 'contest' will come into play only if you are able to place adequate forces along the banks, as can be appreciated in the maps I have placed above, to deny opposing forces the opportunity to eliminate the 'Landing Force' (so to speak). And when I have said 'capacity' what does it indicate? A handover on a platter? So that the said force is unopposed?
What so big a deal Yaara. If PLA can plan to go to Taiwan and do that why not Pengagng Tso. Why this mental block.
Thanks for teaching me amphibious operations. Apparently I know jack.......!
Now open your own mental block .... I can defend the place. And deny the waterways in that area.
What did Shri Hanuman Ji do over the water? Did he go there to fish ? How did Siyapati Ramchandra Ji overcome water without fishing? All Navies in the world use water for fishing?
Water like earth and air is a medium brother which is used for motion, dynamics, acceleration ... whatever .. simply call that as a movement. Faster movement than on earth... do not you know that ? Unless you belong to the category who consider travelling over water as "Dharma Bhrusta".
Wow.
I doubt even now you would have understood.
Precisely the manifestation of the limitation of the higher leadership in forces too. They think they know better. And assume the other has no clue.
Cheers
