music-India confrontation in the border areas has been going on for nearly six months, as winter approaches, the natural environment in the region is rapidly deteriorating. According to Indian media reports, although India has stationed nearly 100,000 troops in the so-called "Ladakh" area, less than half of these troops can really exert their combat effectiveness because they face the challenge of the harsh natural environment. , Has even reached the point of lack of food and clothing. After a long confrontation, India finally discovered that no matter from which aspect, their conditions are incomparable with the PLA.
Challenges of the Indian army
At present, the so-called "Ladakh" area where the Indian army is stationed is as high as 5,400 meters above sea level, and the warm and humid air current of the Indian Ocean is blocked by the Himalayas, which has formed heavy snow in the area, causing the Indian army to face heavy snow. The logistic interruption caused by the closure of the mountain and severe frostbite caused by the alpine weather.
The supplies that India now supplies to the frontline have been blocked by heavy snow, and can only be supplied by airdrops. However, there are many canyons and mountain passes in the area, and the materials are easily blown to within a few hundred meters or even kilometers. Indian soldiers may take a day to collect these materials.
In this harsh natural environment, the Indian army not only lacks materials, but also lacks basic cold protection products. In the winter, the temperature in this area has dropped to minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, and ordinary cold-proof clothing can no longer meet the demand. However, due to the backward production capacity in India, there is no way to make this area suitable for survival or even fighting. Cold clothing.
In the construction of the barracks, India has also made slow progress and poor conditions, which cannot meet the soldiers' most basic cold-proof needs.
Compared with the Indian side, the PLA’s conditions are much better. According to Indian media reports, the side where the PLA is stationed has relatively flat terrain and less snowfall. In this case, the PLA's living environment is better. Moreover, the logistics support capability of the People's Liberation Army is more than one level better than that of the Indian Army.
Some Chinese experts said that although the PLA is also facing the challenges of the alpine environment, the PLA has a modern logistics support system long ago. China has equipped front-line troops with new barracks suitable for use in high-cold areas and a variety of cold-proof equipment, so the PLA’s conditions are much better than India.
Modern warfare is not only the number of people, but also whether the logistics support can be achieved. From this perspective, India has already lost.
