#Thread #LadakhStandoff China announced that frontline troops from India and China had begun disengaging in a “synchronised and organised” manner from the north & south banks of #Pangong Tso which an official source in Delhi said is 1st step in long disengagement n de-escalation
#LadakhStandoff This restarts the stalled process of disengagement in the most protracted military standoffs between India and China in decades which has resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese casualties at Galwan on June 15 last year
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will make a statement in Rajya Sabha on Thursday #LadakhStandoff
#LadakhStandoff This is the first phase of disengagement with some tanks and armoured elements on the South bank of #Pangong being withdrawn as well as thinning down of troops on the North bank, an Indian Government source said. However, troops continue to remain in key positions
It will be a multi-step process for disengagement and de-escalation along the Line of Actual Control #LAC and will take time, say officials #LadakhStandoff
#LadakhStandoff Officials say verification after each step would be key for disengagement process to go forward. While aerial monitoring using UAVs would be done, on the ground verification at each step will also be done to ensure that the Chinese fully honour the understanding

#Thread @adgpi Chief comments at @USI_1870: The regional security environment is characterised by #Chinese belligerence in the #IndoPacific, its hostility towards weaker nations and relentless drive to create regional dependencies through initiatives like #BRI: Gen MM Naravane

#Thread @adgpi Chief Gen Naravane at @OfficialCLAWSIN: Large platforms which were once mainstay of 20th century battlefield: MBTs, fighter A/C & large surface combatants, have been rendered relatively less significant in face of emerging battlefield challenges in newer domains
We have seen how the very imaginative and offensive use of drones in Idlib and then in Armenia-Azerbaijan, challenged the traditional prima donnas: the tanks, the artillery and the dug in infantry: Gen MM Naravane @OfficialCLAWSIN
We have also seen how disruptive technologies are now driving doctrinal cycles like never before. It may not be inaccurate therefore, to infer, that technology itself is steadily emerging as a core combat capability: Gen Naravane @OfficialCLAWSIN

#Thread @adgpi Chief Gen MM Naravane outlines vision as Chief. Advocates ABC: Allegiance, Belief and Consolidation. “We swear our allegiance to the constitution of India... As in the preamble Justice, equality and fraternity. That is what we are fighting for.
