Even if you could take heavy artillery to those heights normal ballistics don't work so these post are nothing but observation posts which are difficult to man and have a very high casualty rates because of the altitude. PA never tried to capture or recapture Siachin. The idea was to restrict IA access to the KKH which they effectively did. Thanks to your stupidity and arrogance you are now stuck with getting your @$$es frozen at 22,000 feet. Nothing to be proud of. Sheer stupidity.
Indians are
mota dimagh. Especially
@hkdas who is mixing benefits of a mountainous/semi-mountainous terrain with that of a glaciated terrain.
For ease, readers should consider this; In the former case, if let's say, we occupy Tiger Hill, we are able to dominate a strategic highway, but in case of latter, if Indians occupy a higher post, they dominate, well, a comparatively better
view, at the cost of higher casualty rate due to harsher weather, higher cost of living/sustenance and more difficulty in holding the post.
Siachen is not Kashmir, where by holding 'more' land the Indians can dominate/control our rivers or for that matter divert water/build illegal dams etc. Nor it is Punjab where by holding a higher ground one can influence the outcome of a battle. Instead, as the fight at Siachen is mostly static, there is virtually no benefit for being on the top, especially when we are holding posts just adjacent to the Indians (at times only a few meters away) to nullify any advantage whatsoever, except that the Indian can thump their chest and fool their jingoistic lot who lack the comprehension to differentiate between mountainous and glaciated zones, by (constantly) telling them, "hey look, we are sitting at a 'higher altitude' at Siachen!" At best, they can make another Bollywood movie and 'belittle' us Pakistanis for the consumption of their own audience.
By holding most of the Glacier, the 'advantage' Indians get are: almost total dependence on air-lifts to maintain their troops, more casualty rate, and thrice the amount of expenditure. Now, by holding "more snow" if the Indians could interdict, lets say our access to China, then may be i could have congratulated them, but till that happens, like i said earlier, the Indians should make the most from the
access this 'higher altitude' is giving them to the gold-mines and uranium deposits at Siachen Glacier.
