Keeping Indian Troops Battle-Ready In Ladakh: The Back Story

- NEW DELHI: With the current India-China standoff in eastern Ladakh showing signs of extending into winter, what does the Indian army do by way of preparation at a place where winter could mean temperatures dipping to 40 degrees below freezing point? At the super-high altitudes of Ladakh, winter that’s just around the corner is no less than an enemy. And planning to cater for the troops deployed at those dizzy heights begins well in advance. This year, there’s an additional challenge: the number of troops deployed in eastern Ladakh is thrice the normal. So how is the Indian Army preparing? In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale gives a sense of what goes into making Indian troops battle-ready against all odds.

Curious to know about Depsang plains and India Army's hold...And their apprehensions of IA reaching G219
Exactly
A detailed discussion on Depsang plain and DBO specially their geographical position and geopolitical importance is highly desired.
I saw you on The Jaipur Dialogue channel
Need to dig down in ground and dig caves in mountains they provide both warmth and also protection during shelling and bombing. This was done WW II on Russian front
Hats off to Indian army, its logistics core and all supporting arms of army, airforce. Thanx for such good information, Nitin ji.
Boycott Winter Olympics 2022. Holding accountable the county who unleashed covid90. .. .
થવું જ જોઈએ.
Clear presentation of complex logistics, of the Indian Armed Forces and the roads and bridges built by the BRO, the actual winner 🏆 in a war.
Sir It Feels Better After Your Lecture And Assurances About Our Army.
I And Many Working With Me In Remote Areas Of Gulf Oil Field's
Feel Just Better.
Take Care And Be Safe.
@Johney Smith No By 2050 India Population Would Be Estimated 1.5 Billion There Will Be Dividend Of Demographic Population .
India Would Be Ahead Of China .
As The Country Has Launched Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Strong Leader Like Prime Minister Modi Does Not Care For Economy.
Because India First Is The Mantra.

God bless our soldiers and officers.
Distrust China and verify their actions. Liberate Tibet, XinJiang, balooch, Sind, PoK, HK, Manchuria as quick and as early as possible. exitdragon.blogspot.com
@Johney Smith But not to oppose China , will make India a vassal state.
@Xye Leyx Because , right is on our side.
@Johney Smith India did not receive any aid from America in recent years. Bulk of the aid goes to Iraq, Afganistan, Israel , Jordan and Egypt. America needs India, more than India needs America at the present moment. Did the American armeda frighten China ? The soft under belly is exposed to us.The present political leadership is not unlike the day dreamers of Nehru era, who were for Socialism, Neutrality and were in love with Chinese Communism . Today's leaders are committed Nationalist s, , For them , India comes first and India comes last. With or without American help, a befitting reply will be give to the Chinese.
Congratulations on the excellent coverage. Best wishes
Dear Sir
Thank you so much .Please keep sharing such value added information.You are doing a wonderful job.
Once again thank you sir.
Do give an idea of the preparation of the Chinese as well.
Why need prepare, do you think PLA need prepare for Ahsan's attack?
Nitin , please also add “SUPPORTERS” to your list . Logistics support as correctly identified as the most crucial war winning formula .1962 war was lost due to inadequate “support” be it logistics or AIR SUPPORT .
So the formula should be
DOCTORS , HEPTERS , PORTERS & SUPPORTERS .
Put your channel's subtitle on so that those who understand less in English may also try to get in what
Your channel says
With the evolution of India media and people's interest in various conflicts, we get insights into topics which were once considered esoteric. The cost implication is what interests me along with the planning.
Wonderful information and presentation, No Tv channel or newspaper gave. Thanks for your efforts.
Very good information. I have seen your discussion with Lt. General Sanjay Kulkarni also. The sharing of information in public domain is good to give a sense of relief and confidence. The chinese ploy seems to not fight the actual war but compell us to spend a lot in terms of cost and men and wear and drain us out . They know well we are in crisis financially and health wise and have to pay price at two fronts. Now we have mobilised men , ammo and logistics for 4 months it should be ideally utilised to climb up and pick the cherry . We all know our enemy also watches all our programmes . God is with the brave Jai Hind!
Shining light on the silent warriors is a great service you have done. I was recently in Ladakh and was amazed by the work the BDO has done. Loved their pithy captions too😁. Did not know beforehand otherwise would have carried some bottles of water and fruits for those who were working in those remote areas. Could not thank them enough. Here were folks working literally hard labor, and I was breathless and using oxygen in the comforts of our taxi.
Hats off to our Army. Fantastic effort. GOD BLESS THEM. JAI HIND
Since all of this is being observed by all forces, shouldn't some restraint be kept in mind.... why give all costs etc( just for viewership) undoubtedly this is a beautiful channel
The enemy is within, leading luxurious life, funded by govt, in JNU campuses, Chinese Lobbyists like Prashant Bhushan etc
Mrittunjoy Datta bro this is for our information...countries like Pakistan, China , USA, Russia they already know this cost as they are on same field.
Kindly write this type of negative viewership comment in India today channel where they are showing every single details on ground, zooming every single artillery, tank, weapons which are newly deployed and information are not much available in internet.
Not here! Whatever information here he is sharing is simple basic calculation which any powerful nation know the cost. Not all channel runs for viewership, praise the good work rather than throwing narrow judgement about anything anywhere. Think twice before dropping such comment.
My original point about not publishing figures for Costs is not that the "enemy" will know. They already know. It is the anti- national forces within India, who will love such information. People whose agenda it is to blame PM Modi for everything.
Excellent coverage.Thanks a ton
I always felt winter was better than summer in Ladhak. The wind after noon in summer drives one crazy.
India would definitely end up overspending and it would show a hole in the government's accounts. But this has to be done for the security of our men at the borders and for this country.
Hopefully, people of this country are sensible enough to stop shouting about the economy and blaming the government for at least the next 2 years until things return to normal.
It is fault of the government not particularly the current.
Indian economy is down hill because of our policies from the start.
No matter we have BJP or Congress in centre the socialist hangover is still not over.
Modi is similar to Nehru in every way apart from their relegious and secular views.
Modi is an incompetent PM and let me be clear IAM from RW but can't deny the foolishnes of this man on economic front.
no price is too high for freedom and sovereignty
@@agnimitra501 modi is a good administrator not a good leader
Army expebditure are always used from budget. The budget has got big volumes. So, our economy is nowhere connected to army expenditure. Only during war, the army consumes huge money, which might impact economy. Prrsently, there is no war and hence the expenditure has the budget !!
utubetruthteller utubetruthteller Let me give you some facts: India map of 1950 shows the area as undemarcated. In 1953 map your gov somehow unilaterally drew a border line including Aksai Chin, while it never had real presence there, not even patrol. The barren land is inhabitable. Your politicians are trapped by public opinions and cannot tell the truth to you.
भाऊ! तुमी “लडाख” नको बोला!!
‘लद्दाख’ बोल ना रे ।
We must convey to our logistics personnel that we admire their dedication and efficiency
The border conflict has diverted the attention of the people very well. Even if the Indian people starve to death, they will create conflict even if there is no conflict with China.
@an raghav Yes, just push everything to China, so India will be invincible.
Please make a simulation video of opening of different fronts..along LAC..rell us about different scenarios of war fighting..with chinese kids
the sheer cost of keeping our troops on the frontline is absolutely huge, it may not matter to China, but it will definitely affect us.
Is this part of "bleeding India by 1000 cuts"?
#JaiHind
Agreed, however the troops stationed at laddakh are there for another reason, let me give you a hint ... POK.
YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST
It is best not to give figures for Costs. The "money" is spent within the economy. Of course, any expenditure has an "opportunity cost". When the nation is under threat, you do not consider opportunity cost. If you do not consider opportunity cost, then you do not consider Costs.
There was no need for this video, if you are going to say what each flight costs, whatever that means.
Normally, I find you are good, but I think you made a mistake here.
I agree.
@john doe thank you for bringing back memories... Prof Popper signed for me his "war book" WWIi
@john doe continued...The Open Society and its Enemies...
Sir when are we ordering 114 fighters from USA for airforce and for Navy requirements
USA wants an alliance
When are we gonna take this opportunity to uplift our capability and capacity to get an edge over China
we should not be sticking with US as they are doing it for their own needs(ELECTION and keeping the title of superpower) if they wanted aliiance they should have at least sent some help in the pakistan war(we only asked for some jets)and RUSSIA had come to our help despite that they would get nothing by helping us in my opinion it is unfortunate that china decided to oppose us RUSSIA+CHINA+INDIA would have been the best aliiance in countering USA
@Kung Fu Money Bee Bees from China will wipe out all those Indian troop military equipment in 10 minutes th-cam.com/video/0rZjUIfG0XE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ErlongWu
Don’t think US fighter planes r coming. Indian inventory is already complicated with Russia, France, Indian own fighters. It’s very difficult to maintain & train air force with so many different different inventory
We can afford any cost to beat Chinese.
Interesting information for the laymen. However, the quantum of deployment at the sensitive sectors should not be discussed in open platform. Please take note.
God bless all. Pray for their well being.
Barath matha ki jai 👌👍🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thanks Nitin for the detailed and informative explanation of the challenges of mountain deployment during the winter !!! I am extremely proud of the Indian Army!!
If your report is true then we need a network centric air defence. Because air raid is very much possible on our store.
Is 2 and half front war is waiting for us in winter.
What is the week nerves of China?
Any news on gilgit -baltisthsn
Give some attention towards the contribution of capfs in national security scenario...
Please don’t call it LADAK. It’s Ladakh. A humble request 🙏🏼
Mr. Gokhale, I like your reports and analysis deep as they are. However, may I say that it is NOT Army Supply Corps that you mentioned in your narration. It is Army Service Corps which comprises of Supply Depots and units of field formations e.g. ASC Battalions which supply rations and POL (Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants), and provide Mechanical Transport (MT) and Animal Transport (AT).
Entire Indian people are with brave forces manning our borders in harsh conditions in J&K LOC and LAC in Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh.We pray God to bless them and be with our brave forces in difficult times and conditions 🙏🙏JaiHind
Few videos that was talked about by Nitin sir:
Major General Arvind Kapoor Sir's video about the the preparation - th-cam.com/video/RvKjLeBOog4/w-d-xo.html
Video showing the local lady from Ladakh talking about how civilians are providing helping hand: th-cam.com/video/HGXf8-3CDqo/w-d-xo.html
This is China's way of bleeding India. However the upside is, the Indian army gets battle hardened. The economy do gets a boost, especially the Indian industry involved in military equipment.
Great video! Mr. Nitin Gokhale. Very nicely explained.
Today's battle on land is quickly determined by assaulting swarm of missiles launching drones where tanks, cavalry+infantry are easy targets.. Sir, how our Army can repulse such attacks by China in Ladakh/any front?
What is missing in the preparation front is how communication system will work 24x7 under -40 deg C !
Second, why power transmission & optical fibre networking not yet exists not only in Laddakh but all forward posts with bordering China.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful informations. Appreciate the experts for their strategies, plans and implementation of the logistics. God Bless these brave men. Bharath Matha ki Jai.
One more an eye opener of a show. Though we all assume logistics is part of the process, its significance is known when details of it is given.
Though China has economy to support its logistic chain is lemgthy & relatively new.
We are better in logistics too than the weepers.
I pray for the wellbeing of our brave men in the inhospitable terrain of Ladakh and other strategic places in the Himalayas.
This "Cost" thing is not alarming. Reason is the money is paid back into the Indian money system. And, in peace time Soldiers are deployed not at their homes but in barracks. So..this is not actually a "Cost" Mr Gokhale!
Thanks a lot..for keeping us updated with factual data.tk cr Sir 😊
It's a logistical nightmare, and a very costly one,which will not only leave financial strain,and personal cost,that is depression, and physical and mental fatigue.
Most of us know about our logistics , weather, climate and troops, we have very little knowledge about Chinese, how about delving deep into their strength and weakness that will signify the journos knowledge and resource. It is very easy to comment about ourselves.Please stop gloating.
Mujhe samaj nahiarahahai chaina why claiming Indian land hitherto they built the Great Wall
Excellent Sir. Thanks for the information.
I agree with Suresh Parikh who has also commented below..I Dont see the point of this video..discussing Costs to the nation in an emergency is generally not a good idea..Armed forces will always function in inhospitable conditions that's a given..but to discuss buildup and logistics at the border on a open platform is a mistake..
Can we know some news about chinese military development post Moscow talks?
Megalomaniac Xi Jinping will meet his Waterloo in Ladakh. China's politico-economical fall will be as fast as its rise.
My heartiest and loudest words of appreciation is too small for our Armed forces.Jai Ho indian armed forces. It's only a small reflection of might of Indian Armed forces . What a massive logistics which is so meticulously planned and executed. Very proud of of armed forces and also those who are facilitating them . Salute Jai Hind
Is China playing the strategy of increasing the cost of war for India? Is China pushing India's limit to spend more on logistics while they have massive buildup of strategic air assets with their 4 new air bases along ladakh, making it to total of 14 air bases?
Nitin, you made me addicted your program with detail information.
Keep me in more addiction...
"Stocking", are we not in "position less", than the " hot" Chinese drone supply chain ?
Sir pls speak about katchatheevu island bcoz it is useful to our navy and airforce deployment and it helps to improve our boundaries as well in sea..
You explained in such a way that any body can now understand the unique challanges faced by our army in Ladakh and what are the methods adopted to face these challenges.
The Nation is passing through very difficult phase but i am sure that we will win .Whole Nation is behind our army to give befitting reply to enemy
Sir, Can we have the interview conducted with front line soldiers. To understand if they are feeling alright or are they worried? Also is there a corona fear in the army..?
Well wishes for the Indian armed forces and Ladakhi civilians. 🙏
Mere staying at heights is also a battle in itself. India should focus more on technology in logistics to minimze the costs since it is a long battle. We have the prowess to match China neck to neck in Technology. Defence industry needs to be privatized and talented people should be roped in for more research and engineering. We have all the ingredients to overtake China in this area.
Got it from you lots about unknown off course unspoken details Appreciate
Is this fair to disclose these kind of information to the enemy's advantage??
God bless you nitin keep us informed. Thank you
I, my family and the entire nation are indebted to u for such essential information. Please let us know how we can regularly donate for supporting such a stupendous , great effort to protect our country.
why are storing kerosene. why buliding electricity lines is so hard. Unlike the roads Electricity lines are easy I guess.
Let's start contributing to the funds meant for the army and directly in their hands. We need to take responsibility as well. They are fighting for us. Lets ensure that they are never in trouble regarding resources.
Please make a video on micro transportation in super high altitude field areas and on animal squads usage and dedication to them will be vary unique and will win appreciation from everyone
Siachen glacier could be worst this winter. We salute our soldiers.
Now, we have to check 10 times when we buy anything from market , online or offline, whether we are contributing even one rupee to chinese CCP or PLA. Let us do research properly about the country of origin of every product / service we buy. Let us be prepared to compromise for price / quality but avoid goods/ services of Chinese origin.
Modi hai tab mumkin hai. Jai Hind. 🙏🇮🇳🙏
Nitin fight for freedom is never free. Question is its extent and it’s long term effects. Jai Hind 💪💪
Are you guys using data mining and ML to conduct analysis? Use advanced technology if you really want to make an impact. Would be happy to help if you need.
Can you share PLA's logistical plans as well ?
If after so much of cost our army can not take back what it has lost then Nehru was right we dont need the army it is anyway useless.
Let us see what Indian army can do.
what about sikkim and ladakh in winter. how easy is the logistics there.
A vertical hyperloop tunnel could help.
Recently published C&AG's report on 3 Feb 2020 says otherwise. Our soldiers are fighting there without adequate equipments ad ration!!
May be , report pertains to the period 2013/2014.
@@KVRaju2011 Nope, it is for the period 2017-18. Report no.16 of 2019.
Make a video on azarbaizan amd Armenia fight
Service Corps not Supply Corps
Jai Hind!!! God bless our soldiers!
I would really love to see your talk being transmitted to various states in their local language so that the people understand the intricacies, efforts, sacrifices, public contributions from local people on high altitude to the army.
There is a dire and urgent need ( and a good business opportunity also). for translation system for all governmental and non governments national level programmes
It is foolish to believe that hindi is the national language .All 23 languages are official and this should be pursued in full vigour Hindi is for hindi belt .
The other 20 languages of india are too big in population too historical too loved by their respective populations to be suppressed by hindi imposition
All bharathiya are one.But Language difference will always be there
Right from.passport to govt level publications exams etc all languages must be used
Translation modalities must be implemented in news on TV expert programnes on various topics
Magical results will ensue
Indian unity will be more stronger by this method
Your calculator is FAULTY
If needed I am ready to go help in Logistics as at least a porter.

@Dines Patak still Baghwan Krushan Das Chandan Made In China #@leastmakeyourownBaghwan ahahahahah hahahahh #Gaomataondehliroads #Eatingplasticbags hahahahh
Excellent information. .
Simply Nitin is Simply Great!
@9:45 As you mentioned 5 cr per day for a brigade in Siachen so 1 division per day = 3x5 cr = 15 cr and cost of 3 divisions per day = 3x15 cr = 45 cr
Now imagine from November to April is 5 months i.e., 150 days...total cost to maintain the entire 14 Corps with 3 divisions would be 150 days x Rs 45 cr per day = Rs 6,750 crores for the entire winter months
This are just food cost. Health & fuel cost to be added. 20-30k cr are lowest estimate.
Keep your finger crossed. Ladakh-cess is coming 🤣
Jay Hind ki Sena 🙏💐❤️
God bless to our soldiers 🙏
What is heated its WARM
Simply excellent
Fantastic content!
Great insight about Logistcs and support
Brilliant program and so much valuable education you are providing to the citizens. Thank you very much. 😊🙏🏽🙏🏽🇮🇳🇮🇳👍🏾
