The Sino-Indian border clash opened fire! The Indian media exposed the “mysterious” weapons of the PLA to break 45 years of tacit understanding

The Sino-Indian border remains tense and the military confrontation between the two sides has intensified. Some Indian media exposed images of the People’s Liberation Army holding weapons that resemble “Knife Off”. According to reports from many local media, including India Today, since the night of the 7th, the continental army tried to approach the Royal Line of Control (LAC). He carries pistols, rods, spears and machetes (pistols, rods, spears and machetes) throughout the positions of Ladakh Rezang La and Mukhpari, and takes the initiative in firing weapons into the air. Provocation, this is the first time that the border conflict between the two countries has opened fire in 45 years.

It can be seen in the image that the weapon held by the People’s Liberation Army is similar to an iron bar with a blade, similar to a “knife”. The report noted that the possession of these weapons by the PLA indicated that they were “planning to have a hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Indian army.” Although putting out knives or spears is not common on other battlefields, the hands of the continental army come as no surprise. (While machetes and spears may not be common on any other front line, they are not a surprise in the hands of Chinese troops.)

China and India reportedly signed an agreement in the 1990s whereby the two sides will not use weapons during border clashes to avoid fatal incidents. However, since June 15 this year, Chinese and Indian troops have been in the Galvanic Valley of East Ladakh (Bloody conflict broke out in the Galwan Valley, in which some 20 Indian troops were killed. It is said that between 35 and 40 people from the People’s Liberation Army were killed or injured. Tensions between the two sides have increased. The Indian side denounced that on August 29 and 30, the People’s Liberation Army attempted to occupy the territory on the southern bank of the Lake Pangong, but the Indian Army preemptively prevented the People’s Liberation Army from succeeding.After this incident, the relationship between the two parties deteriorated again.

However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian stressed on the 8th that India was the first to threaten the patrols of Chinese border troops. Furthermore, the mainland’s State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe stated that the relationship between the armed forces of China and India has been seriously affected by the border issue. It is very important that defense ministers from both sides frankly exchange views on relevant issues face to face.
