The situation on the disputed Ladakh border has grown increasingly tense. Both India and China are prepared for war. More than 50,000 Indian soldiers have been deployed in different parts of Ladakh. China has also deployed the same number of troops. China has started a new construction on the Line of Royal Control. Satellite images show Chinese forces playing an aggressive role in the Fingers Area north of Pangong Lake.
The Indian army has been able to establish its domain on a hill at Finger Point Four in the northern part of Lake Pangong. From where it is possible to see the movement of Chinese troops on the other side of Finger Point Four. According to the source, the satellite image taken last Monday shows that China has built a huge new structure along the Royal Line of Control at the northern end of Pangong.
More recently, there were no major clashes between Indian and Chinese forces in Ladakh. However, army sources said that small clashes between the two sides take place almost every day. Shots are being fired into the air from both sides of the border. However, no casualties were reported. In fact, both sides are sitting with the final preparations for war. An Indian government official told NDTV that tensions at the border could shift in either direction at any time. It can take the form of conflicts at the local or regional level.
A senior Indian military official said that China had stored at least 150 fighter jets in close proximity to LAC. These include fighters, helicopters, electronic alert assets. There are also tankers and surface-to-air missiles. China’s official spokesman, Global Times, said on Wednesday that it was increasing its military presence on the border amid tensions with India. Over the past two weeks, Indian provocations have sparked renewed tensions along the border. As a result, bombers, air defense missiles, artillery, armored vehicles, infantry, and special forces are being deployed to the border from different parts of the country. It is a testament to the PLA’s ability to safeguard the sovereignty and integrity of the country. The Indian army claims that it has the same number of planes and weapons on the Ladakh border. In fact, a large number of fighter jets have been kept at Leh airport. Helicopters patrol the border every day from Leh. India now has five Rafale fighter jets. They were officially handed over to the Air Force on Thursday.
According to local administration sources in Ladakh, there is still intense tension on the border. Great things are likely to happen at any moment. The situation is very worrying, especially in the southern part of Pangong. The armies of China and India clash. Meanwhile, the Indian army has reached a new height at Finger Point Four in the far north of Pangong. From there, Chinese military activity can be seen across the Royal Line of Control. The army also received a satellite image from September. As can be seen, the Chinese army has built a huge structure along the Royal Line of Control along the Pangong. Not only Ladakh, but also Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh have received red alerts from the Indian army. A red alert was also issued on the border between Nepal, India and China in Uttarakhand.
Is war imminent? India and China have a long confrontation in Ladakh from May to September. Not even in such a long Doklam position. As a result, the question is repeatedly raised in different quarters, what will the war be? Experts say that no country wants to go straight to war. As a result, repeated attempts at negotiation are being made. But no discussion was fruitful. There is a possibility of a new high-level army meeting. However, it is quite clear that no country will abandon its place and withdraw. India’s claim that China has stockpiled fighter jets and missiles very close to the Royal Line of Control is unacceptable. If they withdraw their weapons, the situation is likely to improve temporarily. Utpal Bhattacharya, a former lieutenant general in the Indian Army, said that with the onset of winter, it became very difficult to transport supplies to remote areas like Ladakh. It is difficult to transport so much food and weapons from the army. As a result, the army has already stored and maintained everything. – Deutsche Welle, Times of India and Anandabazar
