Ladakh Flash Point

Since Galwan is in the news again, here is a pretty nice picture of the valley from when COAS visited it a short while ago. I think this is the first publicly available photo of the Galwan Valley as seen from across the Shyok. @siegecrossbow


Gen. Naravane likely visited the new IA base camp at the foot of the valley, and probably some of the smaller forward camps that were newly constructed near India's perception of the LAC. Further proof that China's attempts to shift the LAC westwards in Galwan failed, and the LAC as well as India's perception in Galwan is where it has been for decades.

Asking the important question here.
Seems like your garden variety current Indian regime shill. Let's wait till other sources pick it up.
I looked at Twitter sometime back and couldn't find other sources claiming the same.

He is a defence journalist with actual connections within the Army, he has been accurate throughout the standoff. And he is not the only one calling reports fake. The Hindu, on the other hand, has provided incorrect reports multiple times this past year.
The Army itself has debunked it.

So are we supposed to believe in what ever the guy says is true? As for the Indian military, if they say something then is true?

The news you posted are from 2020.


Well, for the time being, we can take it as the truth...
Until, ofcourse, when the other side presents a different story.

The narrative is that no face-off happened. I think that's an OK narrative. Atleast they didn't say they killed 2x+n number of other side soldiers.

Are you saying WSJ is fake news and China didn't release Indian soldiers?

You posted the Hindu, not WSJ. I was talking about the initial post you made a few hours ago today.
