India's shopping for lightweight mountain-friendly tanks post China tussles

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, no one can edit Archived British India maps that clearly show that frontiers of Gilgit Baltistan today are no different than they were in 1947, minus Shaksgam valley, which means you gifted it away. A million web pages couldn't prove otherwise.

LoL

An India talking about editing and junking wikipedia. What an irony!

Lmao, again, where is the map of territory gained? References mean jack shit, written by paid authors. Simply look up some British India maps. They clearly show the extent of Gilgit Baltistan. Frontiers of Gilgit Baltistan are no different today than they were under British India with the only difference that Shaksgam is missing. That means no territory was gained and Shaksgam was lost, simple as that.

The government, amid border tensions with China, has given the army approval for emergency procurement of lightweight tanks that can be deployed in high-altitude conditions.
This will be a significant upgrade allowing the reintroduction of light tanks that can play a critical role in areas such as Ladakh, where they can be more nimble than the heavier main battle tanks, informed sources told ET. The acquisition will be made under the emergency purchase nod given after the recent Ladakh standoff to bolster defences.
The deployment of new Type 15 light tanks by China along the LAC in eastern Ladakh in late April has come as a wake up call.

Deterrence measures
The army has been given the go-ahead for urgent purchases amid signs that Beijing intends to keep the border hot.
The army is looking for air-transportable tanks that can be landed or airdropped at forward locations for lightning-quick deployments to counter aggression, sources said. Unlike China, which has an extensive road network connecting the border, India’s infrastructure is still matching up and is being upgraded, though forward airfields have been developed at strategic locations.
The decision to go ahead with a new light tank is part of a series of major emergency procurements cleared by the government at a critical meeting last week. This includes new loitering munitions from Israel, more Heron unmanned aerial vehicles, additional Sig Sauer assault rifles, man-portable surface-to-air defence missiles, Spike anti-tank guided missiles and a range of ammunition.
“The satellite imagery visuals of Chinese T-15 / ZTPQ light tanks camouflaged in the depth areas of eastern Ladakh, during the recent standoff, is a wakeup call for upgrading deterrence in areas where medium-category tanks are difficult to employ,” former director general, mechanised forces, Lt Gen AB Shivane (retd), has written in a detailed study on the reintroduction of light tanks for the government-backed Centre of Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS). The retired officer has suggested that light tanks would add to the credible deterrence posture and war-fighting capability on the northern front front where medium-category tanks cannot reach. He has also suggested that these new tanks be made in India.
Limited options
However, for emergency procurement, India will have limited options as few nations currently produce these tanks. While China is not an option, the US has embarked on a light tank under its Mobile Protected Firepower Program but it’s currently at prototype stage. Russia has the air-transportable Sprut SDM1 light tank that has commonalities with the T72 and T90s operated by India.

While India has a robust tank force, all of them are heavy main battle tanks — T72s, T90s and the Arjun — considered more suitable for operations in the plains. While these tanks have been sent to the Himalayan border as well, navigating them to difficult borders has been a major issue.
India has operated light tanks in the past that came in handy during the 1947-48 Kashmir operations as well as the 1962 war but these have been slowly phased out as the world moved to heavier armour.

I strongly disagree with the poster, Arjun is not a tank, rather a collage project done under the influence of a lot of bear and a lot of pot

Again, where is the map . Why is it so hard to post a map of territory gained? These authors are just re-writing what was told to them by the Pakistani or Chinese govt, it means nothing. If you gained territory, circle it in red on a map and post it. You have now written 3 posts without posting a real proof. That can only mean you have no proof, which I knew all along. Thankfully the Brits kept very detailed maps which clearly show that Pakistan gained no territory from China after 1947 and gave away Shaksgam for free. Whole new level of Charity service.

Shut the up you Fuckard

Entire Ladakh will be taken one slice at a time. You know that concept of salami slicing?

China will keep claiming and taking one slice at a time while surrender Modi will keep claiming that no land was lost.

Surrender Modi is Xi's best friend.
