India has redeployed heavy troops on the Sino-Indian border, tanks have crashed into rivers, and they are attrition every day, and they still want to go to war?

Recently, the Indian Army's T-72 main battle tank suffered an accident in the mountains of Ladakh and fell into a riverbed, showing that it is difficult to function in this type of terrain. This incident has aroused deep doubts about the Indian army's strategy, which is not only a simple military accident, but also a comprehensive review of the Indian army's equipment and tactical choices.

Problems with the plateau adaptability of the T-72 tank

First of all, it needs to be made clear that the T-72 tank was not designed for the high-altitude combat environment. Although the tank has good mobility and stability in flat terrain, its performance will be seriously affected in the rough terrain of the plateau. Especially when driving near plateau rivers, it is very easy to cause river accidents. Therefore, it is clear that the Indian army has not paid enough attention to the terrain and environmental factors when using this tank.

The issue of updating the equipment of the Indian Army

Although the Indian Army has long relied on the T-72 tank, which has been in service for more than four decades, India has not modernized it, resulting in a relatively backward equipment in the modern warfare environment. In contrast, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has deployed a lighter Type 15 tank in the plateau area, which is not only lightweight, but also more suitable for plateau terrain, showing higher tactical mobility and battlefield adaptability.

Tactical options for the Indian army

The sinking of the T-72 tank revealed the problem of the Indian Army's misselection of tactics, namely the failure to properly assess the risks of using heavy tanks in high-altitude environments. The stubborn decision to choose light or medium tanks, which were more suited to high-altitude operations, was not a recipe for the experience of other countries, and this stubborn decision may have been the root cause of the accident.

The direction of India's military investment

At the same time, India's military investment strategy is also skeptical. For a long time, the country has relied too much on imported equipment and neglected the progress and upgrading of its military industry. This over-reliance not only drives up military spending, but also makes it difficult to quickly adapt and adjust military equipment needs in emergency situations.

Impact on the situation on the Sino-Indian border

The incident has exacerbated tensions along the border between China and India, as India's move may be seen as a lack of military strength and a potential threat to strategic stability along the border. At the same time, this incident is also an opportunity for China to demonstrate its strong military strength and tactical resilience.

The response of the Indian army

In light of this grave mistake, the Indian military must take immediate action to mend it. The first step is to implement an emergency upgrade of the equipment in service, the second is to adjust the tactical arrangement, and finally to accelerate the development of new weapons suitable for high-altitude combat. Otherwise, India will remain at a disadvantage in future border conflicts.

The reaction of the international community

The incident sparked a strong response from the international community. First of all, India's exchanges with other countries in the field of military technology may be affected. Second, it may also be a reflection on the use of military equipment and strategic choices in similar environments.

Conclusions and prospects

To sum up, the Indian T-72 tank falling into the water in Ladakh is not only a military accident, but also reflects a serious problem in the tactical system of the Indian army. Without reflection and effective reforms from this lesson, future military operations in similar environments will continue to face difficulties. This is not only about India's own security, but also about regional stability.

Here, I would like to make a suggestion to you: Do you think that the Indian military's strategy, tactics, and equipment selection plan should be adjusted according to the special geographical environment such as the plateau to meet the needs of actual combat?
