Goes both ways you know.
Bangladesh can slap back from three directions and chop off the chicken neck.
Anyway im done with this silly online di*k measurement contest. In case of war neither YOU or ME will be risking our lives in the trenches.
Almost as practical as comparing the distance between Pakistan and Bangladesh (1500 km) with the width of the Chicken Neck (19 km). Distance between Bangladesh and China is only 90 km in the same location.
So, some guy from Bangladesh thinks they can just "slap back" and take over the Chicken Neck? Man, that’s rich! Listen up, buddy. The Indian Army’s XXXIII Corps sitting in Siliguri is packing way more firepower than your entire army could ever dream of. Three mountain divisions and artillery brigades are ready to roll at a moment’s notice. That’s not even our A-team! You want a real taste of Indian firepower? You should try looking up the II Strike Corps, X Corps, XI Corps, and XXI Corps. You really want to mess with that? Good luck, because you’re going to need it!
And let’s not even get started on China. First off, if the PLA even tries to mess around in the Chumbi Valley, they're stepping right into a nasty choke point. Chumbi Valley is like this narrow dagger poking between India and Bhutan—it’s basically a geographical nightmare for any army trying to make a move there. The place is boxed in by the Indian Army on one side and the Royal Bhutan Army on the other, with only a slim exit back to China. This means the PLA has limited maneuvering room, making them sitting ducks for a counterattack.
Now, let’s talk about what happens when the Indian Army starts operating out of Sikkim and Doklam. From those positions, we’ve got the high ground—perfect vantage points to monitor and strike. The Indian Army knows the terrain like the back of its hand and can deploy artillery, armor, and infantry right into positions that dominate Chumbi Valley. With our forces on the high ground and their backs against the wall, the PLA would find themselves in a real tight spot.
The 17 Mountain Strike Corps stationed at Panagarh is specifically geared for high-altitude warfare. These guys are trained to fight in exactly the kind of terrain where Chumbi Valley lies. They’d come in with rapid mobility, hitting hard and fast, cutting off the PLA's supply lines and routes of retreat. It’d be like trapping them in a box with nowhere to go. The PLA would be choked out in that narrow strip, with no way to bring in reinforcements or supplies effectively.
And if that’s not enough, the Indian Army’s heavy artillery from those heights would rain hell down on them. Imagine 155mm shells crashing down in those tight spaces—total carnage. Not to mention, our special forces and mountain divisions can use the rugged terrain to launch surprise attacks and guerrilla-style operations, further crippling their forces.
And now let’s bring Bangladesh back into the mix. If you think they’re going to waltz into the Chicken Neck while China gets bogged down in Chumbi, they’re in for a rude awakening. The Eastern Air Command of the Indian Air Force can scramble 100 fighters faster than you can blink, and the Eastern Naval Command would shut down any sea routes, leaving them high and dry. Bangladesh would be staring down a full-scale military response that would wipe them out before they even knew what hit them.
So, yeah, if Bangladesh thinks they can get involved while China tries to play tough in Chumbi Valley, they better think again. The PLA would get hammered from all sides, and anyone thinking they can back them up would get caught in the crossfire. It’s a losing game. Anyone thinking they can step up to India better be ready for a beatdown. The Chicken Neck is not some soft spot you can poke at—it’s a trap that’ll snap shut on anyone foolish enough to try.
