Exclusive: Satellite images capture Chinese recalibrations near Ladakh

Latest satellite imagery confirms that the Chinese PLA has been making minor adjustments along the LAC in Ladakh, where it has been engaged in an intense standoff with the Indian Army.

As the winter snow melts in the mountains, the Chinese ground forces seem to have recalibrated some of their positions near the Hot Springs and Gogra areas in Ladakh. Analysis of new high-resolution Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery provided to India Today by space firm Capella Space confirms minor adjustments being made by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China. The latest images attest the presence of the Chinese army near the Line of Actual Control (LAC), although their strength appears to have been reduced in some of the forward positions. The backward PLA positions, however, continue to horde the Chinese ground forces with new accommodations and bunkers.
