I want to highlight, for me, the three most valuable things I learned from ASPI/ @nrg8000's satellite imagery analysis overnight. First, the scale of the buildup at/near Finger 4 of Pangong-tso is really something. China's not leaving, is my takeaway. 1/3 https://twitter.com/Nrg8000/status/1273536234824986629
This image, especially, gives us a very clear sense of the problem in the Hot Spring area. There's a path & road that cross (India's perception of?) the LAC. Also hard for India to fix. 2/3 https://twitter.com/Nrg8000/status/1273495507738914816?s=20
This image helps us understand how there have been claims of Chinese troops on the heights dominating the Galwan Valley but not actually beyond the LAC. This suggests the PLA can really see the whole valley & hence direct fire to the DSDBO road. 3/3 https://twitter.com/Nrg8000/status/1273494711173386242?s=20
