As I had reported on Sept 2, Indian forces have taken dominant positions in Finger 4 on Pangong’s north bank. Quick thread follows on the latest situation.
1⃣Indian Army's distinct shift in stance from reactive to preemptive has provided substantial Quid-Pro-Quo element.
2⃣ Skirmish still very real possibility given proximity of forces, but short/localised if at all.
3⃣ Height dominance game has majorly changed since Aug 29.
4⃣ Aug 29 preemptive actions not just on Pangong south bank & Rechin/Rezang La, but further south along LAC too.
5⃣ Escalation possible anywhere, esp. PTSO, Depsang
6⃣ Expect Chinese psy-ops 'tsunami' including photos/videos of 'captives' from early May scuffle at Pangong.
