  1. At Sakshgam Valley, we command the heights. Indira Col West is great place for 155 MM artillery. Also in summer time, Sakshgam valley becomes a lake thanks to glacial melting. I don't know how Chinese can use the valley offensively. BTW, search for Gunner's shot's take on the same topic. The General presents a more grounded take on the issue.

  2. Capturing the heights of Siachen was already the 'Laal Ankh'. Good thing nobody listens to you.

  3. You can’t even survive one hour in the valley. Talk is cheap, action is not. I’ll see you on the front.

  4. Nonsense. Please learn some basic topology rather than cry with exaggerated crocodile tears.

  5.  @AmalTan he won’t. It doesn’t cost them much. Lazy blokes just want to live off welfare.

  6.  @p.srihariraju  I picked up the glacial flooding from the Gen. Shankar. The rest was evident from the topological map. Shaksgam valley is not the sector of our vulnerability - we have other more higher priority ones that need real attention. What's the state of DBO road? What's the state of Nyoma airfield? What's the status on Frontier Highway on Arunachal Pradesh? What is the status of our weapons' stockpile? Good journalism should address these things instead of picking a topic that the Chinese wants us to see. Also Shekarji missed out on Pakistani plans to build a road from the south to meet the Chinese road from the north (It is still several decades away).
