2/agp #SciMe The purpose of satellite based analysis is to determine & time stamp, the facts about roads, defensive/offensive structures & troop movements (if possible), of both countries; These, can then be combined with historical evidence on claims, to do FP/NS analysis!

5/agp Emotions are not a good substitute for analysis of strengthens & weakness of the enemy and oneself, and the building of an effective National security strategy based on realistic appraisal & analysis !

6/agp (2b) For instance Satellite map(9-16 yrs old) based analyses, could be used to check the factual basis of the statement made in this report on Dapsang🧐 indianexpress.com/article/india/…
