What’s amazing is that Indians could magically count the number of PLA dead when they admit that they’ve been ambushed and had their entire leadership team either killed or captured. They also claim to have captured and released PLA captives, but the media showed no proof unlike the circus surrounding the capture of lost PLA soldiers this year and last year. Do you honestly believe that the Indian media would stay quiet if the IA had concrete evidence of PLA deaths?
If anything the Indian numbers are all over the place. First they reported five Chinese dead when news of three Indian dead emerged. Then it was 43 when they realized that twenty of their own perished according to “intercepts of Chinese radio”. Then it was 35, then over fifty. Then it was 45. The it is over a hundred. I think it is pretty obvious to a rational bystander that they didn’t have a very good grasp of the situation.
