Wooh! S*** getting real son!
200,000 soldiers!

Shows India is open to confrontation if a situation arises, not backing out I respect that

But good for Pak I guess pressure of our backs, these soldiers on our flat border was a serious concern for our long term existence as a nation, thank God India is finding new enemies

What's happening on Chinese side is there a troop buildup happening there too?

Instead of stationing 200K soldiers on the border and sucking up resources, it is much better to have infrastructure that allows for fast deployment.

India trains have rapid deployment as well. Instead of using bullet trains, a single train can carry the whole Indian army!

Can Chinese bullet trains do that?

For an overview of the entire sector, look at this map and compare. Each dot is a Chinese camp.


?!?

Between PP15 and PP17 ( With PP16 in between and ofcourse PP17 can be approximated as KC confluence )

Are there any Indian camps?
Were there any Chinese camps?


The India Today article doesn't mention the exact locations of these camps. Insisting people "compare" something not made clear in that article is asinine.

For all we know, the Hot Springs camps of China that exists between PP15 and PP16 does not penetrate Indian perception of LAC but forward patrols of it did.

There was only one PLA camp close to the point I marked as PP15. If you look closely you can see the groundworks where it once was. PP16, also called alpha 3, is used as a temporary campsite from where troops launch patrols to pp15.

Then there's no issue at all.

PP15 is extremely close to LAC of India unlike many other Patrol points. The Chinese camp you highlighted is within what is traditionally China's region and beyond LAC of India.

What happens to a camp well within Chinese controlled territory is relatively a non-issue.
