Snowfall at the Line of Actual Control did not affect the morale of the troops
After disengagement with China at the Line of Actual Control, the Indian Army has been patrolling for some time, even in areas that it had not patrolled before. Troops patrolled Depsang and Demchok. At this point, the first set of patrol work at the remaining patrol point PP13 in the Depsang Plain has been completed. But now, especially in Ladakh, the entire LAC is covered in heavy snow, making it more difficult for troops to patrol, which can be exploited by the cunning China at any time.
But in order to undermine the enemy’s morale, the Indian Army has now brought all-terrain vehicles to patrol the Line of Actual Control. Indian Army soldiers will now drive all-terrain vehicles to patrol the Line of Actual Control, so that our soldiers are always alert to every sinister intention of China. . The Indian Army is using all-terrain vehicles for patrolling and surveillance in Ladakh and higher areas along the border. These vehicles are very special.
Soldier patrols made easier
This all-terrain vehicle can operate in a variety of geographical conditions, from the snowy peaks of eastern Ladakh to the valleys of Kashmir. It shows its power even when running in the deserts of Rajasthan. These ATVs include the Polaris Sportsman, Polaris RZR and JSW-Gecko ATOR. It can travel at extremely high speeds on any rugged roads, climb mountains, slopes, and rocky roads. With its help, patrolling of soldiers will become easier.
Currently, all of Latin America and the Caribbean is covered in snow. These vehicles are designed to be lightweight and highly maneuverable. ATV vehicles drive on snowy roads in Ladakh. It also provides speed, convenience and opportunity for Soldiers to take immediate action while on patrol. Steering an ATV is very easy. They can run on any type of path. Through all-terrain vehicles, soldiers will be able to reach strategic locations in any weather conditions.
However, before that, Indian soldiers riding Jankari horses and carrying rifles had completed the first group of patrols covering the remaining patrol point PP13 in the Depsang Plain. After the two sides reached an agreement on November 21, soldiers resumed patrols in the important Depsang plains on November 5. On that day, the troops only patrolled to cordon No. 10 in Depsang Plains, but did not go to cordon lines 11, 11A, 12 and 13 in Depsang Plains because both sides decided to cover only one or two cordons at a time.
The vehicle will operate at high altitudes
The idea behind it is to take your time and build trust in each other. According to defense sources, a team of 15 personnel of the Indian Army and the Indian Border Police Force patrolled along the Lakhi drainage ditch and covered the route from the “bottleneck” to PP 13. During that time, every soldier rode a Zansikri horse. Zanskri is a horse breed found in Ladakh. Due to the rugged terrain in mountainous areas, vehicles cannot drive out of bottleneck areas, so they are a species only suitable for high-altitude operations, hiking, and patrolling.
Bottleneck Burtsa Nala is a rocky outcrop in the valley called Jeong Nala. This drainage ditch is located south of the Burtsa drainage ditch. Due to the difficult terrain here, the movement of vehicles is restricted. Soldiers used to patrol on Jankari horses, but now with all-terrain vehicles, it will become easier for soldiers to patrol any area along the actual control line.
