More thanks to Freeper the latest the confrontation India and China in the high Himalaya.
1. "'Snapped Necks, Smashed Faces Beyond Recognition': How Indian Soldiers Killed Chinese PLA Troops After CO Fell"
"In the counter-attack following the killing of their commanding officer Colonel B Santosh Babu by Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops in Ladakh's Galwan valley, the jawans [a soldier of the Indian army is referred to as a jawan] of 16 Bihar regiment, using the most 'primitive fighting methods', snapped the necks of at least 18 PLA troops and smashed their faces beyond recognition"
This senior Indian Army Colonel did not fall. He was thrown to his death! Seems to the jawans in response gave as good as they got.
2. "India redraws its rules to engage China on border"
"India has reset the rules of engagement with Chinese troops along the entire stretch of their 3,488km long border, with the Indian Army now given a free hand to deal with any provocation by China."
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT [ROE]. INDIAN ARMY COMMANDERS AT THE TACTICAL LEVEL APPARENTLY ALLOWED THEIR DISCRETION IN ANSWERING CHINESE PROVOCATION.
Need I say that the India of Mahatma Gandhi gone a long time ago.
