Lets hypothetically play this out.

We see the Indians running off the hill in disarray at the end of that 20 second clip.

So according to Kakyan, those guys are supposed to regroup, restock and charge back up the hill in the remaining run time or less than 3 minutes?

How? Is that operationally feasible?

The average time to plan a hasty assault is more than 20 minutes, just using the basic 8 step process:

  1. Receive the Mission.
  2. Issue a Warning Order.
  3. Make a Tentative Plan.
  4. Initiate Movement.
  5. Conduct Reconnaissance.
  6. Complete the Plan.
  7. Issue the Order.
  8. Supervise, Inspect and Refine.

Unless you want to get your ass kicked back down the hill again, those guys will need to get shields, rehydrate, catch up on their oxygenation, and rehearse. You will need to rehearse your engagement plan, your casevac plan, your alternate assault position and your primary fall back position, as well as some kind of succession of command (who take over when the CDR take a rock to the face), since clearly it was not hashed out the first time.

You can't even brief a plan and conduct a proper back brief in 3 minutes, much less an successful assault against what is now established defensive position on the high ground.

No, I can give you another 30 minutes, and it won't reverse the results.

BTW, I've noticed a propensity for Indians to "Fuck it, we'll do it live", winging it attitude when it comes to military ops. For example, had they conducted a proper recon or any type of contingency plan, that shit show on the June evening would not have led to 20 deaths.

Bunch of fuck ups, and that includes their officers.

According to @Kakyan the Jawans are super human. The can survive in high altitude condition with little to no food, oxygen, warm shelter, or other necessities. Each of them could pummel five single child PLA soldiers without any difficulties whatsoever. Running up a hill in under a minute at 5000 meter is like a joke for them.

Legend has it at Galwan, one Jawan managed to throw 16 PLA soldiers over the cliff to their deaths before he lost his footing and fell too. A true hero's ending :p .

I don’t know what’s more pathetic, people who actually believe this drivel or soldiers who get crushed by falling APCs. How the hell do you get an APC dropped on you? That’s like fighting against gravity to kill yourself.

It's not even 100 sq km as India has not sent a single soldier to that 900 sq km of area in Depsang in 15 years.

At least you admitted the loss of ~100 sq km (good, you're making progress.) The problem for you though, is that 'superpowers' generally don't tolerate losing 100 square feet, let alone kilometers.

As for the rest of those 900 sq kms, which somehow magically vanished from India's original claim lines, by your logic, any area which is not actively patrolled by the Indian Army is no longer considered part of India... noted, thanks. great 'strategy'.
