>>9864950 Chinese hit piece. China the clear aggressor in the mountains. Not just Kashmir, but everywhere, they have been pushing on the Indian positions, hoping to push into places that change the strategic picture, even as they do the same thing elsewhere. India don't play that.
And no, they didn't lay aside their weapons to fight. The weapons were back at the staging areas, as a precaution. China ambushed the outnumbered Indian detachment, with many Chinese soldiers armed with clubs. They thought it was a slam dunk win, because they had every advantage. Only they got their asses kicked. 20 Indians killed as they manfully stood their ground. Special contingent of 50 Indian mega badasses, who were at the staging area for this very scenario, were brought up, and they killed an estimated 18 Chinese by snapping their necks. No guns or knives involved. Radio traffic revealed at least 42 Chinese dead, or double the amount of the Indians, who fought from a very poor position. Go India, suck it China.
