With news of the village finally leaking, we may add some color to other developments. We'll see what time allows today. https://twitter.com/VishnuNDTV/status/1351101693103104001
For starters, we located the pop-up position of the unit likely previously deployed at Gonggar
As of January 2021, the site at Pagri is nearing completion: https://twitter.com/CSBiggers/status/1335600508267008001
Then there's at least five additional SAM sites north of Arunachal Pradesh at Nariyong, Cona, Longzi, Nyingchi, and Bangda.
Here's the site at Nariyong. It appears this may be an exercise location. (Imagery: @planetlabs)
Next up, the site near Cona, getting closer to completion (Imagery: @planetlabs)
The battery for that position is likely deployed at the old HLZ in town. (Imagery: @planetlabs)
Longzi is also likely complete. Again, hi-cadence medium-resolution imagery from @planetlabs
Then there's the site at Nyingchi. It's co-located at the airport which also recently saw an expanded parking apron, inter alia. (Imagery @planetlabs)
Again, love the time-machine function of @planetlabs imagery showing the Bangda site develop since the Article 370 decision.
In addition to these new sites, we've also seen several compacted earth sites which we're unsure are for deployments or potentially deception. Here's an example from the TAR. (Imagery: @planetlabs)
The site at Bangda also now in Google Earth (h/t @rickrodan)
Speaking of Bangda, there's been considerable effort to begin tunneling into the nearby hillside. Here's an example from the southwest excavation. (I'll leave aside speculation for the moment). Imagery: @planetlabs
Likewise at Gonggar. Excavation was expedited in 2020. Compare December with January. (Imagery: @planetlabs)
This is particularly interesting since they built that second parking apron on the other side of hill.
