Interesting to note that from the first (inclusive) post onwards, ignorant and useless posts have been made.
Few hard facts for people here:
1. Transgressions are common on sides of both as the LRPs (Long Range Patrols) frequently cross into either side's location with GPS being tardy in mountains and especially in thick forested regions. Anyone who
has operated in the terrain, would understand the limitations of even modern technology in mountains and thickly forested regions.
2. The rules are in case either side transgresses, soldiers
without arms confront them to check their further ingress. It is a policy followed by both countries to avoid inadvertent military conflict due to overzealousness of troops at ground level.
3. In the photographs, the Indian troops are clearly unarmed - an indication that they have gone to 'warn' off further ingress. It is, but a given, troops with weapons are covering the parties. A fact not lost on either side.
4. Unlike what the plethora of keyboard warriors here would like to suggest, China and Bhutan have an agreement wherein the PLA does patrol the Doklam Plateau (as does the Royal Bhutan Army and as a treaty extension the Indian Army). The last 'stand-off' occurred due to the Chinese efforts to extend their existing track towards area opposite Indian Post of Doka-La, which was an attempt to change status quo in violation of agreement pending between China and Bhutan. As a continuation of Chinese policy of grabbing inches of land slowly, I find it rather amusing to note that the Chinese members here are claiming some major superiority without realizing that the facts as they stand, contradict your own statements and showcase your country in a rather poor light in such issues - that of creeping slowly as opposed to militarily taking what they claim! Just an observation for those who champion a measuring contest without knowing the facts.
5. Have been in the area and know the intricacies, so before any nonsense is claimed, verify facts at your (Chinese) end. For Indian members, please check your facts before posting and cutting a sorry figure. If you visit the North Eastern Indian States, you will find a variety of delicacies ...... common with the Chinese, which are, indeed, very nicely prepared and equally palatable. It is rather amusing to note that for a nation where majority of those who can afford to, eat chicken, mutton and fish, any other meat is considered a taboo! Hypocritical, if not more.
@waz @Slav Defence @WAJsal @Arsalan for your reference please. I do not know who all are mods nowadays.
If you can get your North South agenda out of your head, you would be able to appreciate
realities. But unfortunately for you my friend, fiction and fantasy remain your realm.
Windy is actually trolling the Chinese. Thanks for Sharing, it's funny to see the Soldiers the PLA sent.
