India Sends 40,000 Troops, Two Tank Brigades To Chinese Border
The army’s defences on the China border will get a major offensive boost with the impending deployment of two tank brigades, one each in Ladakh and north-east India. This is the first time that India will deploy armoured formations on the China border. Such formations, equipped with main battle tanks and BMP-II infantry combat vehicles, are traditionally used for striking into enemy territory.
Authoritative MoD (Ministry of Defence) sources tell Business Standard that the plan, cleared by the MoD, involves raising six new armoured regiments, equipped with 348 tanks (58 tanks per regiment, including reserves). In addition, three mechanised infantry battalions will be raised, amounting to about 180 BMP-IIs.
The decision to deploy tanks to beef up India’s light, mountain infantry divisions was taken due to doctrinal changes in China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The PLA has deployed armoured and motorised formations in both their military regions across the Line of Actual Control, as the de facto Sino-Indian border is called. According to the International Institute of Strategic Studies, Lanzhou Military Region, which faces Ladakh, has 220,000 PLA troops, including an armoured division and two motorised infantry divisions (a division has three brigades). The Chengdu Military Region, opposite India’s north-eastern states, has some 180,000 PLA troops, including two armoured brigades and four motorised infantry divisions.
The Ladakh-based 14 Corps will be allocated an armoured brigade to cover the flat approaches from Tibet towards India’s crucial defences at Chushul. In the Sino-Indian war of 1962, six vintage AMX-13 tanks that the Indian Army had airlifted to Chushul inflicted serious losses and delay on the advancing Chinese.
The second armoured brigade will be located in the Siliguri corridor in Bengal, covering the approaches from Sikkim to the plains. One regiment will be located on the flat, 17,000-feet-high North Sikkim plateau, on which border areas are hotly disputed between China and India.

Despite the deployment the indian military is in poor shape at the moment and are lacking in almost everything compared to the Chinese. -mort

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
It is obvious that India is not capable to face a war against China.
Another push for military spending. This is ridiculous.
We live in a world about to face much more worst problems which could wipe-out mankind.
- Energy scarcity because they insist that we go on petrol.
- Weather collapse.
- War on drugs.
The planned economic attack on Europe to destroy social services and throw our world into pure capitalism of demonic proportions leading to misery of the majority.
Nothing like the ranting of a Leftist!
We are using petrol at the moment because it is the only fuel that gives us enough energy to survive and thrive. Unicorn power will not push your car down the road.
Climate change has been a fact since the Sun first rose in the Eastern sky and will continue well after mankind is gone. Mankind’s influence on the climate is very minimal. Every time the Sun hiccups it dwarfs all of the affect on the climate man has ever had.
Me thinks the war on drugs hits a little too close to your home.
Capitalism has created the wealth that allows Liberals to make themselves feel better by spreading it around to those they deem worthy. Communist/Marxist Societies have ALL been colossal failures!! Yet, capitalism has triumphed and raised the standard of living of their societies for all of its populations. Our poor’s standard of living would be considered wealthy in ALL Communist countries. North Korea is one of the last worker’s paradise left. Perhaps you should consider moving there!
Other than this, you made some very salient points!
Actually this is wrong as well. There is Anarchist-Communism and Marxist-Communism. Marxist-Communism is where the “black nobility” reside under a system of state managed capitalism. I have not found a single example of Anarchist-Communism and the singular objective of removing the oppportunity of exploition through trade.
You talk crap about mankind’s influence on climate, because this goes far wider than “climate change”. In fact it is about commercial responsibilty and, thus far, we see nothing short of the same old irresponsibilty. Climate change itself has been religious/politically defined by “science”. The truth has not been completely heard.
Superier technologies existed before and most have been rejected by the capitalist model of exploitation. Testamony can be found in the treatment of Rife and Tesla [as the tip of the iceberg]. When the oligarcy is faced with a choice between providing community services and exploitation for profit, they care nothing about society. Let us hope the Keshe Foundation isn’t a scam, but please don’t use the technologies they claim they can provide because you don’t deserve it. No doubt you will be one of the guns focused on them to “protect” your wonderful state of tyranny.
Actually, India knows they will lose about 90 % of their land mass during the coming pole shift.
Thus are placing these units in a location where they can punch through Chicom borders , giving their people (elites?) a chance to survive.
You will see the first nuclear warfare from those countries.
An exchange could also happen between India and Pakistan. Although I hope it does not happen in either place.
I hope those asiatic nutballs contain themselves.
GEEZ people, ya’ll need to get your focus off the crap that is going on OVER THERE, and focus on what this crap government and our REPS are doing to US, The People. Do your homework on who is representing you/us you might just find thru their voting records among other things

that we are being played a fool. Did YOU vote for the bail out? Did YOU vote to have an automatic debt put on not only YOU but your children AND your grandchildren? Crap people what the hell has to happen for everyone to wake up!!? The people in Washington are NOT doing things to protect us. I know it’s VERY hard to come to grips with, But PLS, look where this road is taken us,your children and our grandchildren. PLS prove it to yourselves the evidence is out there, do you have the maturity and the guts to learn the truth?
