In first winter stay, 1,800 Chinese troops camping at Doklam

[Rollno21]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but China has already completed multiple major roads in Donglang, with construction still ongoing:

You can build all you want as long as it's not on the disputed site and where the Indians stopped you .and no need to reply with points around what I asked just like the roads around the disputed site ,do quote when the road is built on the disputed site where Indians stopped you and where China said no talks until we withdraw.

At Doklam, Chinese troop levels rise at feverish pace even as temperatures dip

Troop buildup near Doklam increased in November-end, fresh satellite images show; additional mortar positions, a gun position, vehicles, troop accommodation now visible.

A Chinese buildup of troops and military infrastructure near the contentious Doklam plateau has gained pace in November, with fresh satellite images showing new mortar positions, hardening of gun positions and evidence that more than 5,000 troops could be deployed within 5-10 km of the conflict point.

The buildup can be seen in latest satellite imagery of 3 December that has been accessed by ThePrint. The deployment seems to have increased since the resolution in August when both Indian and Chinese troops backed off from a road construction site in Doklam after a tense standoff that lasted more than two months.

The significant buildup is visible at several locations southwest of Yadong town, all within a 5-10 km aerial distance from the spot where Indian and Chinese troops had faced off earlier this year. This presence of almost nine battalions is in addition to the troops that China has deployed just 50 km behind in the Chumbi valley, as reported by ThePrint in October.

Over 300 heavy duty trucks, fresh tunneling into the mountains to set up gun positions and creation of several buildings to accommodate troops indicate a Chinese resolve to stay ready for action even through the winter.

Satellite images confirm that work is progressing at a feverish pace even in the winter. The images show at least nine three-storey buildings that are occupied and almost 300 large vehicles, suggesting that almost one division of troops are located in areas ahead of Yadong town.

Infrastructure developments
The People’s Liberation Army or PLA continues to develop infrastructure on a large scale in this area south and southwest of Yadong town.

The platoon and company posts have accommodation for more than a battalion of troops. The single-storey barracks have been replaced by massive three-storey buildings with possible underground and/or camouflaged parking.

Infrastructure developments | Vinayak Bhat
The signal centre has been greatly improved with an earth receiving station, four large dish antennae, two huge aerials and a solid-wall fencing. It also has a slightly raised platform, possibly for future deployment of vehicle-based radars

Roads and tracks are being widened and developed all around. Large cranes, earth moving equipment and construction material can be seen almost everywhere. Certain areas defiladed from Indian defences are being leveled, probably for future constructions.

Troop buildup
There is also a massive buildup of troops just below the conflict area of Doklam. A large number of vehicles are seen parked near the riverside. In some areas, vehicles are seen hidden under camouflage nets. A number of tents have also been observed under camouflage nets.

A number of vehicles, including many small vehicles, are seen around the three-storey buildings, suggesting these buildings are also occupied.

Improvement of defences
The satellite images suggest that a continuous improvement of defensive positions has been on since June 2017. All previous posts and also the new positions have been connected with a maze of well dug communication trenches.

Improvement of defences | Vinayak Bhat
Most of the important positions have been afforded the protection of wire fences. Some posts can be seen to have infantry mortars positions.

At two places, mountain sides have been cut large enough to make gun positions, possibly for howitzers and/or multi-barrel rocket launchers (MBRLs).

Hardening gun positions
The old gun position has been improved to harden the shelters for guns. The shelters have further been provided with a layer of compressed earthen protection. Moving into the gun pit or scooting from the gun position would now be very easy. A second position is being constructed, albeit at a slow pace, possibly not to give out the direction of fire.

The satellite images confirm that work is progressing at a feverish pace even in the winter months. An additional infantry mortar position has been created in the second half of November. A comparison of November and December images also suggests that the troop buildup increased at the end of November.

Seems to me China has mass deployment in the planning. Now are the slumdogs really that brave to repeat that silly mistake by crossing over to our side again? I'd like to see that after having their asses kicked previously.

But they have ppp money to build everything they want

Its an Indian failure, they reacted to the situation and had no beforehand information of the Chinese plan

Agreed. It was a knee jerk reaction on the Indian side. Chinese road construction crews had no PLA cover - this might be either because Chinese did not expect Indian reaction or they decided to move forward as low key as possible. However I think we are heading quite clearly for Chinese coming out the winners. We shall know by summer 2018. I expect :-

(a) Chinese PLA to move combat infantry units and dig in at [Red 1] securing the western flank. This as we already know is being done right now ~ with 1,800 troops which is almost two battalions.

(b) We are in winter now. As soon as snow begins to thaw in spring 2018 expect road construction to commence at [Blue 2] under the protection of PLA troops on their western flank. The road then will be extended south to Jampheri Ridge [White 3].

When this happens Indian Army will have a choice. To move forward and engage with PLA infantry [Red 1] or just accept fait accompli. I think they will just accept the latter. And don't expect any rocks to be thrown this time. The PLA combat units will be armed and under orders to fire under the slightest Indian provocation. In face of this Indian Army will exercise maximum restraint. Jampheri Ridge will become a PLA forward position threatening all of Silgur Corridor.

You can build all you want as long as it's not on the disputed site and where the Indians stopped you .and no need to reply with points around what I asked just like the roads around the disputed site ,do quote when the road is built on the disputed site where Indians stopped you and where China said no talks until we withdraw.

The area of dispute is called Donglang, which India officially considers to be Bhutan's territory, and thus protected by a mutual defence treaty with India. And which India considers to be an existential threat to their Chicken's Neck corridor.

Yet in Donglang there are now thousands of Chinese troops, permanent military garrisons, and multiple major roads.

 

[leviathan]

Never compete with china on construction! China vs India on this matter is like The Champion vs A kid who dying from hunger!

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

There is only one overwhelming fact on the ground:
PLA got humiliated and spanked on her own territory and was forced to stop road construction which she is unable to resume even today.

Is that why Donglang is now controlled by the PLA, and India has back stabbed Bhutan by not upholding their mutual defence treaty with them?

Why doesn't India just officially recognise Donglang as Chinese territory, instead of having to constantly explain why they chickened out of their mutual defence treaty to protect Bhutan's territory.

Donglang was always controlled by China.
It was never ever a part of Bhutan.

India not recognising Doklam as China part is standard pressure tactic, it gives us the excuse to operate in that area.
If we recognized it as Chinse we will not have the excuse to deploy there.


Also we don't care if there are a million troops at Doklam, as long as China is unable to complete road to Jampheri whih is still too scared to do.

more mentalmasturbation from inferior complex primitive Indian``
there multipul roads have been built around your "chicken's" neck, but your high caste overlords will feed you with whatever cooked-up fake stoires to not to future irrates your fragile ego.

the end result is, Donglan as a disputed area now are in permanent control of the PLA, and the "big Boss" India was kicked and humiliated yet again```fact

No worries for them, they have won in the hindustan media rating war.

Reality does not matter for them.

Look again, chang.
All those roads are over 10 km from border making them useless for army aś the area is mountainous.

your cpc overlords will never tell you ruling objects any truth

primitive factor driven society with most ignorant and gullible people

Hi, check the map again and use the ruler. It's 2.2km instead of 5km, smack right in the middle of the plateau. Your media is lying again!

[All those roads are over 10 km from border]```so you have checked and measured all the roads?``or you'd suggest those "useless" roads cant well support permanently stationed 1800 troops in Donglang in treacherous winter around that area?
