Interesting. Was talking to some Pakistani defence enthusiasts and they were TERRIFIED that India and China will reach a temporary peaceful consensus.In Ladakh,
The battle lies in the east
But the prize lies in the west,
Galwan valley , F4-F8 cant support any major armor thrust to block the Darbuk-Shyok-DBO road,
Galwan valley too deep, too narrow & with freezing temp most part of the year, It will be a death trap fr any enemy,
Especially with Excalibur rounds, long stand off precision munitions from ever modernizing IAF,
Pangong Tso F4-F8 too is narrow , with a hill feature at F4 obstructing armor movement, a natural boundary,
WIth newly raised mountain strike corps, far shorter IA supply line, lare number of IAF bases in north,
IT would be suicide fr PLA to try to interdict Darbuk-Shyok-DBO road, from these areas.
Darbuk-Shyok-DBO road, checks chinese advance on ladakh from east, buttressing indian hold over Ladakh sub sector north, steeling the defence and logistics of DBO , strengthening our hold over areas south of karakorum pass.
ANd this allows india to build many roads ,logistic channels criss crossing entire ladakh facilitating integrated defence of ladakh,
This makes it feasible fr IA to strike in Giljit baltistan area , if that happens PLA wont be able to come to the rescue of PA, because of the mountain strike corps & logistics of DSDBO road,
Its an interesting game of shadows
If we built this vital road earlier we would not hav seen so many chinese pockets in the area,
We all know what happens then.
