RIP

RIP

Is it plausible that an MBT gets swept away by flood?

There must be some error in the reporting.

According to officials, the t-72 tank sank due to flash floods when they were trying to cross the river.

This seems more likely. Maybe the soldiers tried to get out of the sinking tank and they got swept away due to the current.

Infact ,it is much less than The Internal Security duty in Kashmir and Guarding the LOC

If you know the history and numbers of The 3 decades of Kashmir violence , We have never Hesitated to pay for our territorial integrity, Whether the Cost is to be paid in Blood or Treasure

The worst Era was in the Nineties till 2003 , when we had an Active LOC , Thousands of Armed Terrorists inside Kashmir , Siachen And Kargil conflicts ,All areas seeing Artillery Duels and Fire Fights

The Chinese belligerence has only helped in rapid road construction and Modernization of the Armed Forces

5 Indian soldiers die near China border after tank sinks in river​

• The tank sank early on Saturday due to a sudden increase in the water levels of a river in the Ladakh region, India’s military said

Five Indian soldiers were killed when a military tank they were travelling in sank while crossing a river in the remote region of Ladakh that borders China, officials said on Saturday.

The tank sank early on Saturday due to a sudden increase in the water levels of Shyok River during a military training activity, according to an Indian army command centre statement.

The accident took place in Saser Brangsa near the Line of Actual Control that divides India and China in the Ladakh region, the military said.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called it an “unfortunate accident”.

“We will never forget exemplary service of our gallant soldiers to the nation. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. The nation stands firm with them during this hour of grief,” Singh wrote on the social platform X.

The Indian and Chinese militaries have been locked in a stand-off in Ladakh since May 2020, when they clashed along their land border in the region, with 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers killed.

The skirmish turned into a long-running stand-off in the rugged mountainous area, where each side has stationed tens of thousands of military personnel. New Delhi and Beijing have held a series of diplomatic and military talks to resolve their worst military conflict in decades.

The border dispute between India and China dates back to the 1950s, and the two sides fought a war over it in 1962.

Will you say the same thing when your Army is Targetted in KPK and Balochistan

You are always first to post anything negative about Pakistan and China but hide under a stone when some mishap happens in India or within Indian armed forces. But yea you will drag in your economy and what not. Accidents or mishap can happen anywhere or to anyone so no need to go suicidal, here this also occurred with IA some years back.

You are receiving this information because the Indian Armed Forces are transparent about their casualties, unlike our enemies.
