You have old statistics Azlan.
Indian army gets to zero high altitude casualties in Siachen Glacier
Indian army gets to zero high altitude casualties in Siachen Glacier
The frostbite and other issues have been mitigated by a large extent because of DRDO creating Indian HAPO and other devices. IA getting more Arctic snow gear.
IA has achieved zero casualty rate in Siachen barring unfortunate incidences like landslide.
" For the first time, Army finally seems to have the measure of the Glacier. Siachen Glacier: Siachen no longer hurts. That's the message from the Indian Army, which has now ensured that none of its troops perishes on the treacherous battlefield. For the first time since it paratrooped to the Sia La heights in 1984 to pre-empt a Pakistani march into Siachen, the Army finally seems to have the measure of the Glacier. "There has been no death in the last one year," Dr Latika, a doctor at the High-Altitude Medical Research Centre"
So that is your source ?? a report from a military journal claiming that a doctor said so ? A report suggesting that only 700 troops have died since 1984 ?
Honestly have you ever been to the area? Acclimatization at such altitudes is medically not possible and the natural hazards causing casualities are simply beyond human control
Do you know that serving in Siachen is voluntary?
I know that very well ... Suicide bombing is also not mandatory !! hope you understand .. Even If someone is ready to sacrifice his life for his purpose , Unnecessary wastage of life should be avoided
