The Indian army post was buried in an avalanche, 1 dead and 2 injured! Indian media call for a fast withdrawal
According to the latest news from the "Indian Express" on the 18th, an army post in the Kupwala area of Jammu and Kashmir was hit by an avalanche.
After the avalanche, all the outposts were buried, and all three soldiers in the outpost were buried in the snow.
It is reported that one soldier has been confirmed dead and two soldiers were seriously injured and are being rescued at a nearby hospital. Indian television reported that it has been snowing in the area where the Indian frontline soldiers are located recently, and the snow is getting bigger and bigger. The Indian media pointed out that continuous heavy snowfall is not good news for the Indian army, which will exacerbate the crisis faced by the Indian army. .
In the plateau, avalanches are just as commonplace. From the end of November to February of the following year, it happens to be the time when avalanches are high on the Indian side. Last year, there were many casualties in this area.
On December 4, 2019, two avalanches occurred in Kashmir, killing 4 soldiers. According to Indian media reports, there were 4 soldiers in Kupwala and 2 soldiers in Bandikung were buried under the snow.
On January 14, 2020, a snowstorm hit the Jammu Kashmir region of India within 48 hours and caused an avalanche, killing 8 people, 3 of whom were soldiers.
At present, the Indian army has deployed 200,000 troops on the front line of the plateau, and there is a huge demand for various materials. Once the avalanche will not only cause casualties to the soldiers at the outpost, but more importantly, the supply line will be completely cut off.
The Tribune of India pointed out that at the moment when the Indian army encountered difficulties, heavy snow fell continuously on the plateau line, which made the Indian army worse.
The Indian army lacks modern logistical support capabilities, coupled with many urgently needed plateau cold-proof materials, India does not have independent production capacity, so the material crisis it faces is getting more and more serious. In this case, the Indian army had to withdraw and go to a safer place to "cat winter"!
Avalanches are very serious natural disasters and the impacts are very large.
When the cohesive force inside the snow on the mountain slope cannot resist the gravitational pull it receives, it slides down, causing a large amount of snow to collapse. And if it is affected by the sound of guns or explosions, it will also cause an avalanche.
Prior to this, India has been constantly challenging things, such as using anti-tank missiles to attack Pakistan's outposts. This will not only cause losses to the other side, but also may cause avalanches on its own side in areas where the teeth are crisscrossed.
Once a person is buried under heavy snow, he will face multiple problems such as hypoxia and cold. Unless rescued as quickly as possible, the chance of surviving is very small.
It should be said that the avalanche encountered by the Indian military post was only a small avalanche, which caused three casualties.
As the snowfall gets bigger and bigger, the Indian army will inevitably encounter more and more similar avalanches. The Indian army stationed in the valley will be more difficult, and the cold and shortage of materials will become its biggest problems. The Times of India called on November 18 that India should allow the soldiers on the front line to retreat to a safer and more convenient position, otherwise it will be too late.
It seems that the Indian army really wants to "mouse tail juice"!
