Chinese are show ponies. Name one nation that is afraid of the Chinese.
Your soldiers definitely were too scared to fight the Chinese and just surrendered

US special operators seal team and Delta have used camels too. You can't use drones for resupply it's stupid you give away you position to the enemy.
in satellite era, your post is not suitable

You never know. Maybe it is something extra set specially aside for Chinese POWs. They already known to drink bat soup.

I have never seen anyone in China drank bat soup in my entire life, maybe there is a tiny minority out of the blue that did that you always get that tiny segment population who do something the general population don't, don't forget the Indians eat a lot worst stuffs including bats, do a quick search on YT you will find it.

But either way the bat soup drinking line is getting so boring can't you create something new? Aren't you Indians very creative in creating fake and sensationalized news?

PLA: we have electronic warfare syste-
Indians: we have camels

IA is looking for alternative in worst case scenario. I mean these camel will be very useful. They will not only be used to transport goods in hard train. Their urine will be used by Indian soldiers as main source of food. And they will fight for IA when their soldiers will jump in frozen lake after watching Chinese coming toward them with sticks

Double-humped camels will now be used for transportation and patrolling by the Indian Army in eastern Ladakh's treacherous terrain. This plan originally from three years ago will come into effect amid the India-China standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Areas like Daulat Beg Oldie or DBO and Depsang where these camels will be deployed at more than 17,000 feet are among locations where armies of both countries have mobilized in great numbers.

The animal is also known as Bactrian camel and is found in the Nubra valley of Ladakh at heights of over 12,000 feet. It is natural for the terrain. These camels are being reared at the defence institute of high altitude research in Leh by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Among those reared and trained is young Rangoli, a female camel born to Chinku and Tinku as part of the breeding programme undertaken by the institute in Leh.

After carrying out trials and doing a comparative study with a single-humped camel brought from Rajasthan, it was found that the double-humped camel is better suited for the task at hand.

Breeding of the camels will be done in Leh to ensure that the Army gets the required numbers. A source said current estimate is that of about 50 such camels will be commissioned for the Army.

"The double-humped camels are best suited for these conditions. They can carry loads of 170 kgs at more than 17,000 feet which is much more than the ponies that are being used as of now. They can survive without water for at least 72 hours," said Col Manoj Batra, a veterinary officer of the Indian Army.


The trials for these animals were carried out on Daulat Beg Oldie to test the abilities, officials said.

The double-humped camel was used as a material part of the trade for transport on the traditional silk route between Tibet and Ladakh.

A breed called Zanskar ponies were being used until now but it was felt that they are not as swift-footed for sandy terrains. The ponies, however, are good for climbing mountains and can carry loads of up to 40-50 kgs much lesser than the double-humped camel.

With numbers restricted to only 350-400 in Ladakh, the double-humped camels are rare.

The breeding will ensure that numbers keep increasing as per the requirement and that old ones can be replaced with the newborns.

The army is looking at enhancing its logistics and patrolling capabilities in the remotest of areas where there has been tension which includes DBO and Depsang plains.

The project was introduced soon after the Doklam faceoff of 2016 between the Indian and Chinese armies on the India-Tibet-Bhutan tri-junction in Sikkim.

Of course not. They rape cows.

Delhi has been told that it will be deserted after every 100 years. If these unscrupulous people did not commit atrocities in Kashmir, Allah would not have done to them what is happening now. It is called mafaqat amal, that is, you will fill it as you wish. And it will happen in your life.
