Indian Army may be the best army in the world but by deploying tanks at a height of 7 to 10,000 feet does not make sence.

CHINESE like their PAKISTANI Counterparts do not use tanks in a direct fire role.

As per news reports T 72 CAN FIRE AT A RANGE OF 2500 METERS.I DEBUT IF SUCH A FIELD OF VIEW IS AVALIBLE AT SUCH HEIGHTS.
MOREOVER CHINA USES LIGHT UNITS HEIGHLY MANOVERABLE DO POCESS VERY EFFECTIVE INDIGINOUS ANTI TANK MISSILES

THERE Z9 HALICOPTERS ARE CAPABLE OF TAKING OUT TANKS AT DISTANCES DOUBLE THE RANGE OF THE T72 TANK GUNS.

THE RED ARMY POCESSES ARMED MI-17 HELICOPTERS AS WELL AS THE 155/52 CALABRE GUNS(MADE IN CHINA) THESE GUNS CAN EASILY OUT GUN THE 39 CALABRE 155/BAFORS GUN. SO IF THEY ARE ATTACKED BY THE REDS WHICH IS A DISTANT POSSIBILITY .INDIANS WILL BE AT A DISADVANTAGE .

THE INDIAN ARMOUR WILL EITHER BE DISTROYED OR LEFT BEHIND JUST LIKE THE 1962 DEBACALE .

MORE OVER ARMOUR CAN BE TAKEN OUT EASILY BY D30/TYPE 86 122 FIELD HOWITZER WHICH HAS A 380 % TURNING RADIUS AND CAN BE USED AS A DIRECT FIRE WEPON

TANKS ARE MEANT FOR PLAINS AND NOT FOR SUCH HEIGTS.ANY HOW THE INDIAN HIGH COMMAND SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE THE DEPLOYMENT.
