On ground the Indian Army is engaged in a virutal eyeball to eyeball confrontation with the Chinese forces at an altitude between 15,000 and over 19,000 feet above seal level at the Line of Actual Control.
Is this then, the Siach-isation of the LAC?
The Indian Army has occupied crucial heights overlooking the Chinese Army positions at finger-4 along Pangong Tso lake in eastern Ladakh. This development comes at a time when the India-China military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is in its fourth month starting from May of this year. Operations and preemptive actions were carried out by Indian soldiers to occupy heights near the southern bank of Pangong Tso Lake around August-end, a source told India Today.
Can China afford extreme high-altitude warfare where India has a clear edge?
