India's preparedness at LAC exclusive: Mega infra boost in Eastern Ladakh's Punguk

[walterbibikow]

In an attempt to strengthen infrastructure in villages along the border with China, Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has initiated the construction of roads from Punguk to Chummar in Eastern Ladakh.

Republic TV, on December 18, Sunday, reached the Loma village located near the India-China border in Ladakh. According to sources, the road, where the construction is underway, will reduce the time and distance for the Indian Army to reach the Line of Actual Control (LAC)

As India has carried out a massive realignment of its troops and deployed an additional Strike Corps to counter any Chinese misadventure anywhere near LAC, the mega infrastructure boost by BRO is underway despite freezing temperatures in Eastern Ladakh. Notably, the stretch, where the construction is underway, is almost 70 km to Chummar from where the LAC is just 1.5 km.

Republic crew reaches Rezang la
Later, Republic TV reached Rezang la -- a mountain pass on the Line of Actual Control between Indian-administered Ladakh and the Chinese-administered Spang-ur Lake basin that is also claimed by India. Notably, the mountain pass is located on the eastern watershed ridge of the Chushul Valley.

The Battle of Rezang La, fought between Indian and Chinese troops on the icy mountain tops on the southeastern ridge of the Chushul Valley, is often remembered as a show of great Indian strength during the war in 1962. The soldiers of the Charlie Company of 13 Kumaon demonstrated the kind of strength it takes to fight till 'the last man, last round' on that chilly night of 18 November 1962.

Despite the fact that almost the entire company was wiped out in battle, they had put up enough of a fight to ensure that Chushul wouldn't fall into Chinese hands.

Yuddh kab ho raha hae?

Id say they are fighting with regards to building infrastructure, if only to outdo our neighbor.

What a lovely scenario this is, in the name of war we develop ourselves, only avenue where i can get behind this rivalry in the subcontinent.

But in all seriousness, we're building a road, a road, despite the difficulties and challenges whats with our media hyping it up so much?

India To Build Tunnels In Border States To Store Short-Range Missiles As Rocket Force Takes Shape

Sela Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh

India is planning to build multi-purpose tunnels in border states to store land-based short-range tactical missiles.

The development comes as India's rocket force, which has been in the works for some time now, is beginning to take shape.

India is building a rocket force

Reports say that Indian armed forces could soon acquire the Pralay short-range tactical ballistic missile. The missile, tested in December last year, has a stated range of 150 to 500 kilometers.

It will allow Indian forces to target Chinese force concentrations along the Line of Actual Control and dual-use infrastructure in Tibet.

However, to reach Chinese bases in the interiors of Tibet, Pralay missile batteries will have to be located close to the Line of Actual Control.

The tunnels, when built, will be used for storing these missiles. The tunnels will also safeguard the missiles against preemptive Chinese attacks and allow quick deployment during a crisis.

India is building an integrated rocket force not only to deter China but also bring existing missile assets under a singular architecture and doctrine.

The People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF), formerly known as the Second Artillery Force, has the world's largest ground-based conventional missile force. Its evolution from the Second Artillery Force of the PLA to PLARF, which makes it a service like the army, navy and air force, and the 33 per cent increase in size in three years between 2017 and 2019, indicate China's increased reliance on the rocket force.

In the event of a conflict with India, China would use the rocket force to hit key operational targets like command and control centers, air bases, force concentrations, logistics nodes, and other critical infrastructure in the initial stages of the war to degrade India's ability to fight.

India has ground-launched missiles to respond to such an attack, but the options are severely limited compared to China and under the command of different services. Both the Indian Army and the Air Force have ground-based BrahMos missiles, but the lack of joint operations or joint capabilities means they can't be used optimally.

With an integrated rocket force, India would achieve more efficient economies of scale and concentration of mass firepower.

Satellite imagery shows that China is constructing tunnels on the plateau to allow it to store missiles and ammunition.

For instance, recent satellite images show that China is constructing a large underground facility within a small mountain formation. The underground facility is coming up close to the dual-use Shigatse Airport, which is an important logistics center and air base for China in the region.

"The intended purpose of this UGF is unclear, but the Chinese military has long utilized UGFs as a means of securing and concealing military assets. Over the years, the PLA has been known to house command and control and logistics facilities, nuclear and conventional missile systems, and even strategic naval forces within UGFs," a report by the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies says.

China is also working on a rail line around 2 km from the air base. The rail line could be used for transporting the equipment landing at the base or stored at the underground facilities near it to the frontier with India.

Apart from Pralay, Shaurya is also a perfect candidate to serve as a "Tactical Rapid Response Weapon" against China. It has the speed (Mach 7.5+), range, flies at low altitude (<50km), highly maneuverable and accurate - all the traits necessary to engage and destroy targets defended by an advanced air defence system. It has a stated range of 850 to 1900 kilometers

No trouble. Modi Janta ko kaamyaabi say chutiya bana raha hae. In this respect, Modi and our Generals are in competition.

Calm down man. It's just a report about border infra. Nothing more
