Will T-90 tanks be able to pass: the Indian military has collected data on bridges and roads near the border with China

Indian military engineers have completed the study of bridges and roads that lead to the Ladakh region, which is disputed with China. This study was needed in connection with the need to obtain new data on the maximum mass of military equipment designed for infrastructure facilities.

Reportedly, data on bridges and roads in the area have not been updated for more than 10 years, so it was decided to conduct new studies and clarify the information.

The main goal is to find out whether the bridges in the Ladakh region will be able to withstand the passage of a convoy of the main military tanks T-90 and other heavy equipment. It is noted that the studied objects showed resistance to loads up to 50 tons. Considering that the T-90 tanks have a mass of about 46,5 tons, the equipment should pass without any problems for the road transport infrastructure - taking into account the observance of the distance.

Earlier, a "trial" unit with several T-90 tanks and army trucks was deployed to the Ladakh region.

New data on the ability of bridges and roads in a mountainous region to withstand a particular load, as noted in India, allow the transfer of additional forces and means to Ladakh. It is said that in addition to additional T-90 tanks, 155-mm M777 howitzers, as well as armored personnel carriers, can be sent to the border area with China. They are planned to be placed on the shores of Pangong Lake.

Such plans in India are voiced against the backdrop of statements that China should withdraw its military and equipment from the border.

Today, as the "Military Review" has already reported, the Indian media published a material where it was said that India was ready to transfer French Rafale fighters to Ladakh. These combat aircraft are due to fly to India on July 29th.

Exactly, especially when traveling over bridges.

Again talking about the advancement of troops into the disputed region?
Hindus are suicidal. China will respond in kind. But China's economy is more than three times the size of India's. And there is no such corruption as in India. It will be much cheaper for him, and he will have more troops. Not to mention the technical superiority.
Wouldn't they tease the dragon...

I have an uncomfortable question: did they not know that they have a disputed Ladakh region with China? They have data from ten years ago ... There are no words ...

Demonstration of the goods by a person, it seems like they did not buy in vain. Clean politics.

They need light armored vehicles. "Octopus", "Vienna" ... Why T-90 in the mountains?

Quote: Mountain Shooter

Why in the mountains T-90?

Light armored vehicles, of course, are good, but not that. All the same, a tank, as they say, is a tank in Africa. On the other hand, the T-90 is one of the lightest main tanks in the world. This is not an abras, and not a leopard. Even the Chinese type-99 is even heavier by almost 10 tons.

Tanks are not the best tool in mountainous and difficult terrain. Perhaps dig them in at strategic points and checkpoints. There is no operational space.

[Pereira]

Why dig in? Shoot towers with Arjun and use them as cannon pillboxes.

I looked at the photos of the area. Looks like Afghanistan. The tank column is doomed. Kirdyk.

Whatever the Indians do, they will still rake from the Chinese if they start a fight. In a documentary interviewed by a former Chinese soldier who took part in the India-China conflict, he recalled how the Chinese soldiers bypassed the Indians through the snowy mountains (like Suvorov through the Alps), and then they were ordered to give their rations to the captured Indians. Moreover, they sent captive Indians home on trucks, which were dragged into the mountains by hand. The film said that then the Chinese troops could take Delhi on the move and the Indians expected this.

Something is doubtful. What year was 62, 67?

The size of the pebbles on the banks of the Yangtze the Indians have not yet decided to find out? )) To fight is to fight ...

Well, They will drive the T-90 to the seventh heaven and get a glorious "cauldron", all the tanks will be abandoned and lost there. It seems that our light tanks looked after, but no. If only our couple of generals-consultants were discharged.

It looks like "maybe" it came to us from Sanskrit ... Well you have to be so careless

[Xnumx vis]

It looks like the Anglo-Saxons (US) are trying to push India and China into a war. classic of the genre - "Divide and Conquer" Will weaken China, and for one, and India ...

[Gloomy skeptic]

Throughout history, these two countries have become famous for only one thing - the ability to breed.
As for the hostilities, none of these characters in the wars fought from the word AT ALL, so the result will be clearly unpredictable. Unless, of course, the conflict begins at all.
And for me, nothing will happen at all. So the media will make a noise, the border guards will fight in the disputed territories - this will all end! These tribes are not warriors, not warriors at all.
