India will build a network of strategic tunnels at the Chinese and Pakistani bordersIn the mountainous regions of India, on the border with China and Pakistan, 11 road tunnels will be created: to speed up the transfer of weapons and mobilize troops if necessary, as well as to improve transport links. On Friday, referring to official Indian sources, the Times of India newspaper reported.

According to the publisher, two tunnels for the development of the road and transport network will be built in the state of Uttarakhand. The total length of the tunnels will be 89 kilometers. Two tunnels of 6,5 and 12 kilometers will be opened in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in the north of the country. In these areas, landslides and snowfall often block roads.

New all-weather tunnels are designed to make continuous movement in the area. The territory of Jammu and Kashmir is the subject of a Pak-Indian dispute, in connection with which the Indian side considers the provision of uninterrupted transport links in the area to be of strategic importance.

The design of nine tunnels began in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, as well as in the northeastern states of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Among these projects, the construction of two tunnels, the total length of which will be more than 25 km, for the development of transport links with Tavang district in the state of Arunachal Pradesh on the border with China.

This area is the subject of a dispute between China and India. Troops and logistic support to the area are currently carried out mostly by helicopters. Two more tunnels are planned to be built near the border with China, in Sikkim.

All projects envisage the construction of tunnels in seismically dangerous mountainous areas with difficult terrain and harsh climate, the Indian press said.

      Not for nothing ... If the battle of billions begins, then hold on here. Moreover, it turns out a nuclear triangle. It's all bad that our "naked" DV is near. No army will hold back so many refugees in a conflict.

        If the "Clash of the Titans" begins, then without nuclear weapons. So it was already, however, maybe the scale of the then conflict did not give rise to a mass exodus to other territories. So, I think the whole soup will be cooked without leaving the pan.

      Well done Indians! In less than a century they have jumped from the colony into world leaders. We already have a lot to learn from them. Similar tunnels in the North Caucasus would not be superfluous. In the same South Ossetia, one mountain trail ... Snow fell and that's it, keep Russian peacekeepers, help is not far off.

        That's right. The half of the Caucasus is blowing the buck and getting benefits. But you have to dig tunnels.
        Along the way, they will dig up something useful. The Caucasian people will be busy. Self-esteem will rise. Solid pluses.

      Uh ...
      India tunnels on the border with its enemies ...
      Hmm ...
      It seems that faith does not allow Hindus / Buddhists / Islamists / and even xs to make peace ...
      Faith must be in the soul, and not in any territory ...

      American, Hindu and Russian got to Hell. Met the Devil and said:

      - To everyone who gets here, I give a chance to go to Paradise.

      And takes out a hefty whip:

      - Who can withstand three hits without screaming - let go! You can defend yourself than you want.

      The first was an American.

      - What do you want to defend?

      The American took a healthy granite stone:

      - I'm ready!

      Damn swung for the first time and ... a stone to smithereens. The second time - and the American yelled like mad ...

      “Next,” says Damn.

      It turns out the Indian.

      - What are you going to defend?

      - Nothing! - the Indian answers, - I have been doing yoga for 80 years, and in meditation the body does not feel pain!

      - Okay.

      First hit. Hindu: - Oshsh ...

      Second hit. Hindu: - Oshsh ...

      Third strike. Hindu: - Oshsh ...

      - Wow! Nobody has withstood three hits. - says hell. “Well, you are free, you can safely go to Paradise.”

      “No,” the Indian says, “I want to stay and see.” In all the jokes, the Russians win. I want to see how he succeeds this time.

      - Okay, stay. Well, what do you think to defend yourself? - the devil addresses to Russian.

      - How to protect yourself? Hindu, of course ...

      Well! Now, to the already known "points of tension", a diplomatic "exchange of strikes" between India-China and India-Pakistan will be added.
      Everything went like crazy - everyone is trying to throw a coal into the global firebox!

        There never ceased. Too many territorial pritenzii with overpopulation of territories and the climate is good.

      The latest statement by Abama clearly states in which direction the vector of their aggressive policy will be directed, but !!! It will be difficult for the states to have against themselves such powerful powers as India and China (and even Pakistan with which it has not been glued recently) with a population of under 3 billion, plus all have nuclear weapons .... this is where their infamous policy comes into force pitting everyone with everyone. As soon as the Iranian problem is solved to one degree or another, fuss will immediately begin in Asia, and there may be the most unpredictable consequences ......... Hindus are the wisest nation, so they have already calculated the possibility of such a development of events

        It turns out, and the Tajiks have something to do. Roosevelt built the road. And we will drill tunnels.

      The development of transport routes is a priority for any state. But not for our guidance. For a quarter of a century, they prefer to buy Fed bonds than build transport infrastructure in Russia. Why are we dear! It’s better that any adversary who takes pains in our wealth drowns in our mud .. But seriously, our leadership decided to leave this problem to the Chinese when they develop our territory.

      According to the Ministry of Defense of India, the design width of the tunnel is designed even for the movement of container ships. Not for nothing. Anything can jump out of such a tunnel. For example, a rocket launcher. Strategies, cunningly, however ...

        The Pindos tried to equip their "Minutemans" for a metro train in the mountains in response to our BZHRK and PGRK - it did not work. Can yogis succeed? Who knows
