In all likelihood, Indian troops are on the Gurung Hill, which is runnig up from the south side of the ridge line in the salient jutting out into Chinese side along the LAC, directly east of Chosul, generally southward of Helmet top and Black top. Local villagers from Chosul are chugging water and food along that ridge line to the Indian troops. I really wonder how long these troops can survive with this rickety supply line.

China: I do not want to break your arm. Why do you want me to break your arm so badly? I will make it as easy as possible; just say I like really thin pancakes and I will release you.
India: This is nothin'; somebody might as well get me a beer while I'm down here. But I do like the ones with cheese. The strawberry whipped cream ones are the best! I just had a mess of 'em this morning! What do you think, should I say it?
America: Nah, don't say it.
India: Yeah, ok, not gonna say it. BREAK IT, PEPE LE PEW!
As we all know, PLA is well disciplined and they strictly follow rules of engagement, don't fire unless fired upon.
Alleged place of conflict is around the semi-circle shoreline on the south bank, where I believe PLA JLTV CSK-181 is accessible, as there's already a nearby road going up Black top from the north side.
If indeed Indian light infantry shot at the PLA's JLTV, alleged to be around 10 of them, and their truck mobile infantry, it would definitely be a bad day for them.
No doubt there would have been be a few backup PLA mechanized infantry in IFV's in close proximity behind the JLTV's, closely watching the whole thing with drones.
At least Indian troops would have been rounded up and pictures taken for posterity.
I looked into my crystal ball and saw many banned apps in the future.
India is now #2 behind the US in terms of coronavirus cases.
Expect more nationalistic posturing and provocation as Indian economy contracts significantly and Indian coronavirus cases soars.
However, both sides don't want a large-scale war, but India may conduct some limited skirmishes and declare victory as a way to distract from their abominable economic and COVID position. So long as China occupies it's strategic areas at the end of the day, I'd call that a victory, no matter what chest-thumping Indian media says.

One thing I found disturbing is how quiet the Indian media has been about this confrontation. Not a peep from them other than regurgitation of what the Chinese MOD has stated.
Same. When something as bombastic as the Indian media becomes mute, it almost makes me feel as if a gag order has been placed.
Oh man I am anxious about what the spin doctors are hiding. If this is something that even the might Indian media couldn't spin, it could be big.
