At present, the overall border situation between China and India is still relatively tense, because India has been deliberately provoking a confrontation in the border area. According to photos recently posted on social media, the Chinese and Indian armies are still engaged in a military confrontation, and at the front line of the confrontation, both sides have deployed armored vehicles and tanks.
In the photos published on social media, the Chinese army has the advantage
According to the photos currently posted on social media, China and the Indian army had a military standoff in the border area. Because India deploys T-72 tanks in the plateau and mountainous areas, and in the photos, you can see that there are more than a dozen Chinese armored vehicles. In terms of quantity, China already has a certain degree of advantage. At the same time, the Chinese army can also use the latest Span1span 15 light tank in the border areas.
The environment in the plateau area itself is very harsh, and China’s latest Type 15 light tank has a very powerful comprehensive combat capability in the plateau area, and it can even be compared with some main battle tanks. Moreover, the Type 15 light tank has advantages in terms of tank weight, which means that the tank can conduct rapid interspersed operations. Once a military conflict breaks out, the PLA can take the initiative on the battlefield by virtue of the superior performance of the Type 15 light tank.
It is difficult for Indian tank forces to develop their due combat capabilities.
Although the Indian army also has a large number of tanks, it is also equipped with a large number of T72 and T90 heavy tanks. However, it is difficult for these Russian-made tanks to exert effective combat strength in the plateau and mountainous regions, because these tanks were designed to fight in the plains. It is even difficult for these tanks to be transported to plateau areas. Even if they do reach plateau areas, can they drive normally?There are also many uncertain factors.
According to media reports, China has already served a large number of Type 15 light tanks. The Indian media wrote in its own report that China deployed about 200 Type 15 light tanks in the Ladakh front area on the Sino-Indian border. At the same time, in the Aksai Chin Plateau, China also deployed advanced Type 99 tanks and 96a tanks, while India has no tanks that can engage China in a frontal confrontation in the plateau area. Although India has urgently transported a part of the T-90 tank at the Sino-Indian border, the engine of the T-90 tank itself is likely to fail in plateau conditions. After all, the engine of the T90S tank was designed at the beginning of the design. The highest altitude used is only about 3 kilometers, while the lowest altitude in the border area between China and India is 4 kilometers.
It is completely unrealistic for India to provoke China and win victory in the plateau border area. India should reconsider its foreign policy. If the Indian government decides to continue the confrontation, it will be very difficult for the military equipment they are currently listed to be able to go down the plateau smoothly.
