Chinese Troops Struggle With Low Quality Winter Clothing On Indian Border

If you trace the Indian army's 2nd hand winter gear from the U.S. chances are they were originally ordered from Yiwu or Wenzhou. If the Chinese gear are low quality then Indian gear are second hand low quality.

Glad you mentioned that I was just about to put up a post.
These folks are celebrating a non event.

They have a history of doing that. Maybe some enterprising individual could write a book with the catchy title of "From downed F-16 to 108 PLA KIA in Ladakh --- Indian Army's March from Victory to Victory".

How many live at subzero temps above 12000 fts? Any idea. And how many have been conscripted in the PLA? Probably you have no idea of the harshness of the desert terrain.

Since Indians are living over 12000 ft all along so have no fear to all Indians. As India is a supa power can you not have some mercy on PLA soldiers and give them some better quality sleeping bags and tents. Be kind to your neighbours and they are suffering while you are staying in palaces over 12000 ft .

Now Indians are writing for the Taiwan News. Are we witnessing an unholy union between Hindutva and Falun Gong?

And how do you know that PLA have low quality clothing in high altitude warfare, top militaries of the world are have the top priorities by their respective govts, and tell why didn't they provided adequate winter clothing for their soldiers, Is their financial or economical problem with china that they didn't provide adequate winter clothing to their soldiers, the answer is, is their any logistic problem, they have better logistic than yours, the answer is also , so is their any other problem i thinks they haven't any problem, the only problem with them they lacking recent mountain warfare experience like Indians have

Chinese Troops Struggle With Low Quality Winter Clothing On Indian Border


Published on 20 November 2020

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA)’s adventurism has started costing it heavily.
Actions undertaken by the PLA in the Eastern Ladakh sector since May 2020, have ground to a halt as they were based on a false assumption that India will back down and give in easily to enable a quick land grab.
The Indian Army’s actions, however, particularly in Galwan and the on the southern bank of Pangong Tso Lake have put the PLA on the backfoot, forcing raw Chinese soldiers to endure a freezing winter in an inhospitable terrain.

Despite having an advantage of the flatter terrain of the Tibetan plateau, the PLA troops are struggling to survive in sub-zero temperatures with poor quality of clothing and accommodation.
PLA commanders who have no prior experience in high altitude and winter deployments initially invited local garment manufacturers to produce winter clothing for their troops deployed in the Ladakh region.
As part of Chinese communist propaganda, the Global Times released a number of videos showcasing newly developed winter clothing being provided to the Chinese soldiers.

However, the lack of combat experience across the entire PLA is so glaring that commanders and their political masters did not realize surviving in heights greater than 12,000 feet is totally different from equipping soldiers for operations at normal altitudes of up to 9,000 feet.
Also, there may have been a Napoleonic mindset at work attempting to eke out a quick victory before the winters set in.
Like Napoleon, this has turned out to be a logistical nightmare.
Having misread the logistics requirements, local Chinese garment manufacturers produced clothing that can at best be utilized by troops deployed at 9,000 feet.
Once the temperatures in the Ladakh region plummeted to minus 20 degrees and below in areas around the Pangong Tso and Kailash ranges, one could witness a steady line of emergency medical evacuations from the PLA positions.
Reports indicate that casualty evacuation of PLA troops through helicopters and stretchers has been observed on a daily basis.
It is also learnt that on an average one PLA soldier succumbs to altitude and temperature related ailments every day.
Morale and motivation at the posts has dipped below freezing point.


Currently, the PLA troops deployed in Ladakh are facing extreme shortage of specialised cold climate clothing and have been forced to go for emergency procurements.
This is the same PLA which was showing off its insular cabins and multipurpose jackets and pants just a few weeks ago on Chinese national TV.
Available input indicates that PLA Joint Logistics Support Force (JLSF) has constituted a Quality Supervision Team for emergency procurement of Extreme Cold Climate clothing.
This team has now been tasked to ensure good quality clothing and fast delivery to forward area troops.
Emergency plans such as the setting up of special working classes, scientific planning, factory supervision, on-site inspections and placement of military representatives in factories to supervise production have been put in place.
This team is reported to have been reporting directly to the Central Military Commission.
China’s difficulties in dealing with high altitude and inclement weather will only increase with time and the current steps taken by them is just an indicator of the problems to come.

Funny thing is both threads are created by this multiple ID rat @Rafale+Meteor+Spectra

And the reason is because some Indian twitter accounts were attributing this soldier death to Pakistani firing which tiny fragile ego of this rat couldn't tolerate even if he has to create contradictory threads to sooth the ego

I guess he graduated from the best Indian skool with top honors
As all Indians come from skools like below

Indian managers and engineers and technicians all from the same kind of background.

Journalist too as well

With Indian graduates from skools like below?

This is India!




India filled with graduates from Indian skools like below

And India army got those graduates from Indian skools

Indian engineers and scientists and administrators and planners and writers !

No wonder India cannot even make bullets and must buy from Russia and overseas.
And the artillery that India designed tend to explode and kill more Indians than anybody else.

After buying cold weather clothing from overseas, which according to their own media is not fit for purpose.
The Indians gone to their groovy train of "spreading fake news" as is their habit.

After their lies that "China accepted" withdrawn from Laddakh, (Galwan area) and fingers it occupies now.
And lies that IA has conducted another "Sir G Kal Strike" in Azad Kashmir, now this fake news.

It seems that Indians are only feeding lies to their stupid population, to keep them happy.

How long will this charade last!!!

Wow. State of the Art school of a "Supapowa".
I am impressed.
