Now, Chinese Army begins constructing bridge near LAC in Ladakh

The government should immediately object to the construction of the bridge, said Dr Sonal Dawa Lopo, Chief Executive Councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council.

Even as the Doklam standoff cotinues, China has begun building a bridge in No Man's Land, near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh.

Security agencies have been tight-lipped on the Chinese agression.

Dr Sonal Dawa Lopo, Chief Executive Councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, told India Today that the issue will be raised with the government. The Narendra Modiadministration should immediately object to the construction of the bridge, he said.

DOKLAM STANDOFF

The Doklam standoff began in mid-June after Indian troops stopped the Chinese Army from building a road in the Doklam area, which is near the Sikkim section of the India-China border.

India blamed China for trying to alter the status quo and attempting to move the India-China-Bhutan tri-junction point to the south.

Beijing, on the other hand, has slammed New Delhi for what it says is a transgression by Indian troops into Chinese territory.

It looks like armored thrust into IOK!

Till things actually start to happen, I think I'll just sit back and relax for now. Useless to keep up such ante and nothing happens.

It appears that PRC may try for a total invasion. Which is actually a better idea (for PRC).

There are some interesting observations.

A bridge here does mean that at least light AFVs or even MBTs may be moved in to rush the passes into Ladakh. But here the problem is that there are very few roads to the region.
1, 5 or even 10 such bridges can easily and quickly be brought down by the IAF. So the PRC will need to establish total air superiority to prevent these tanks and AFVs from running out of supplies.
At least a brigade sized attack can be expected in the West in the beginning. They will need at least 2 to 3 more brigade sized infantry formation to cover the vast tracks and lots of engineer troops.
Such investment is useless unless they want to totally dismantle India in its entirety.

What is surprising is the lack of Pakistani battle readiness. Without it, if the PRC is planning an adventure, it may run into problems. Either the PLA is confident that it can alone take care of the IA or they don't trust the PA HQ.
The latter chance is higher as the PA is probably highly infiltrated by Indian/Israeli and US agents. The regular military leaks (Osama etc) point to this clearly. But the addition of Pakistan a bit later into the campaign may not be ruled out.

In any case - if true - make no mistake. War is coming.

No more Indian bulldozers?

Already in shambles, what more this 10th pass Modi can do now except to keep "chup"
Lol

Pakistan won't fight/participate (may be Kashmir sector, if IA is crushed enough)

1, 5 or even 10 such bridges can easily and quickly be brought down by the IAF

China SAMs are awesome plus they have awacs. It wont be easy

light AFVs or even MBTs may be moved

Good analysis but they can bring paratroopers too. they have nice fleet of transporters.

China has fortified the entire border with Sikkim. It looks like after the Indian army supplies are cut off by air and rocket strikes, the Indian army will try to overrun PLA. Then we mow them down like animals with heavy guns.

You are right, China making it clear that if i had to blink first then It will be a "War" not Skirmish.

We are going to dismantle India by sending our elite armored divisions to liberate Kashmir on their way to Haryana!

@Windjammer @Areesh
what do u say Pak will fight? and will China attack at all? I mean Russia attacked Georgia and Ukraine and entered in Syria too but US couldn't do anything. but If China is really determined to fight then why they fight at Dokhlam? They can invade from any side (Kashmir but that is heavily fortified)? Like nazi did from Holland to France (so from Nepal)? as light skirmish can't give any solution to problem but just keep the crisis hot?

India needs to but a few battalions of Iskander-M

makes a crater 15 feet deep 40 feet wide.

By the end of the Chinese air and missile attack, India will be in total chaos. Pakistan can easily launch an armored attack into Rajasthan desert. Gujarat will be the new lebenstraum for Pakistan after the war.

1962 Nehru cried (during war) while writing letter to John Kennedy for a help.
Who will Modi write such letter to ?
Trump or Putin?

Leave out Russia for a moment, tell us what your country USA can give to India against China?

International legal recourse at high place = UNO, also India is an orphan there.
