Siachen Glacier-A Triangular Wedge In The Pakistan, China Threat At The World's Third Pole In Ladakh
The Siachen Glacier is a critical, strategic triangle that India has wedged between Pakistan and China. India foiled Pakistan's preparations to militarily occupy the Siachen Glacier with ‘Operation Meghdoot’ in April 1984, pre-empting Operation Ababeel. In Episode IX of 'The Himalayan Frontier', a StratNews Global team of Amitabh P. Revi, Rohit Pandita, and Karan Marwaha travels from Leh, Ladakh's capital to the Siachen Base Camp to document the strategic synergy between the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) in dealing with the Pakistan, China two-front threat around Siachen. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is also completing the Sasoma-Saser La-Saser Brangsa-Gapshan-Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) Road in the region. It is a connectivity link that is the world’s first glaciated road and an alternate axis for the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie (DSDBO) road to the Indian Army's northernmost base-DBO.

LOL Pakistan and China already using Karakoram highway. Pakistan attacked Siachen only to keep India spending lots of money on it's troops deployed on Siachen glacier.
@@bhadwamodi8294 yeah, it's a cost they put on us, to protect our side we need to secure siachen that's why we send our men there. Second on mountains, higher position is an advantage.

Beautiful part of the world full of some amazing people. I’ll always stand by my Indian brothers! Much love and respect from the U.K.
Very proud documentry for every Indian, Hat's off to the brave warriors of Indian armed forces .. Jai Hind!!
Finally we have one good documentary from India to capture lives of the Bravehearts guarding Siachen at such detail. Until now, faint attempts by our news channels havent even come close.Kudos to all those involved. Jai Hind
🙏🏾 @vickichumuk
Wow this episode was complete goosebumps. I was watching in large screen with big sound and the Indian flag at the 45th minute was such a fine piece of storytelling. The photography, music and storytelling was immaculate. This series is the best tribute to Indian Army (I have neighbor and colleague who have served). Paying our taxes feels good when you see such efforts. With 2 hostile, militant and irrational neighbours.. more power to the Indian army!!
brilliant feedback and thanks for this @Balakrishna1981 it makes the whole team more motivated
Awesome documentary and it tells about the men guarding glacier, fittest & bravest guarding Bharatvarsha💪
glad you liked the documentary @rajbhardwaj598
A splendid display of duty and dedication by our National Guards. Entire Bharat salutes such great warriors. Proud moments. Thanks to media team also for making and bringing such a splendid short movie on national heroes.❤❤❤
Outstanding, in every way possible! I am spellbound by the entire Himalayan Frontier Series. This is one of the best episodes of the series because of the quality of the footage - it's for the big screen, rather than for mobile phone viewing, as well as for lifting the veil on the myth & legend of the Siachen Glacier, made possible by the superhuman men/women deployed there. Storytelling by Amitabh is top notch & the continuity of themes, motifs & music throughout the series is beautiful. All Indians need to see this series to appreciate the various challenges that Indian defence forces have to face on a daily basis to protect the country from China & Pakistan. So proud of our soldiers defending our borders! Jai Hind! ❤️ 🇮🇳
@MaTara01 as usual is very kind with words. 🙏🏾 on behalf of the entire team. jai hind

This is hands down the best documentary regarding Siachen
very kind words @odishamatters 👍🏾
Thousand salutes for our brave jawans! Jai hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Have been observing Amitav Revi since his NDTV days. Am so very glad that he took the road less travelled (literally and figuratively) as compared to his other ex-collegues to be part of such wonderful docu-series with Nitin Gokhale. This particular video is absolutely awe inspiring.
you embarrass me @joydeepnondy4144 thank you for taking the time out to watch us for so long! and to comment. people rarely do
Beautiful documentary and narration. Salute to our Indian Army. Last year I had been to Siachen glacier as a tourist. Really the weather condition is so tough there, but nothing tough in front of our brave Jawans.
Starting from BRO to the last men at the Siachen post including Airforce And every single person helping and maintaining the Integrity, dignity and stand for our beloved Bharat Mata, Thanks for being there every single day, hour, minute and second. Jai Hind. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
99.9 percent of people will not be ready to endure this pain even if paid. Only Indian army men will do it. Proud of such a dharmic army. They are the model for all armies around the world.
Been Here. Proud of our country ❤
Thanks!
appreciate your support @lixdev it means a lot 🙏🏾
Kudos to the brave warriors of the Indian Army! Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Feels good to see a Gorkha as the training in charge. Jai Gorkha
Wow! Incredible report. Thanks Amritav fot letting India and the world know the achievements of the Indian Army and Bharat.
👍🏾 @dnivaranamaratis
Fantastic . The best Siachen series to date. Very nicely stated and captured on camera. Deserves an award. Keep it up.
🙏🏾 @sanjayrazdan7443 appreciate it on behalf of the team
A big salute 🫡 2 all Indian armed forces , a true hero who gaurds Indian borders surrounded by enemies. May God always keep them safe and stronger . Long live India 🇮🇳 , Long live Indian armed Forces ... Jai Hind
Salute to our army who are saving indian sovereignty 🏔🇮🇳❤
Dad was a helicopter pilot there before the cease fire, he said he could see puffs of snow below whenever he was reaching the forward bases. He was told many sorties later by his senior, thats the Pakistanis shelling us, that is artillery missing us & hitting the snow. (u can't hear the bangs in a MI-8)
that is such a cool story @HartajTrehan. thanks you so much for sharing
@@amitabhrevi yea there are many, like the time delivering metal ladder to the base of Bana post with Mi-8 flying at 21000ft. It was expected that most likely after dropping the ladder, the helicopter would crash into the mountain, but someone had to do it otherwise the post would have been lost. Luckily they managed to avoid it or I wouldn’t have been born 😅.
@HartajTrehan what a story!
Extraordinary visuals and amazing narration. Kudos to the Indian armed forces who are safeguarding our country from enemies.
👍🏾 @dvrsrikanth
Speechless after watching this. Eternally in debt of our warriors and a big salute to Nitin ji and his equally committed patriots for documenting the daily lives of our brothers safeguarding the highest battleground in the world - aptly called the third pole. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
so glad you watched @SuperAbciximab thank you for the comment and 🙏🏾 on behalf of the whole team. it means a lot-your comment
Only a combination of best skill & passion can deliver such splendid work in real as well as in the reel. Salute to our great warriors and thanks to @StratNewsGlobal
Our army morale is so high. They do their job for the country❤.
Thanks for the great documentary! It's my dream to be able to go to Siachen until the Teram Shehr bend or beyond, and climb one of the 7000m Kangris on Saltoro or Apsarasas Ridge. One one hand, the Soldiers must enjoy being in such an exclusive amphitheatre of giant peaks and glaciers, but on the other hand they lead the most difficult lives possible with immense pressure and imminent threats.
Beaming with pride and in awe of the level of dedication, endurance, and respect to maintaining Bharat’s military presence in this rarified frontier. Another amazing “escapism” video SNG!
Why it took so long to make such an informative and necessary video?. Our Govt is years behind information and psychological warfare. Anyway kudos to Strats News and Shri Gokhale. Our Defense ministry Babus should learn from this!
Whenever I watch episode of this series it feel this was pinnacle & you can't be better than this but my god you just come up with gr8 cinematic shots & this time giving POV on go pro of budding soldier in Siachen is top notch.. Hope IAF soon get LUH after all necessary certifications so that they could fly inside the safety limits of Haptor & also be able to perform task in more easy way for maintainers & army personals... also the amount of good quality PR footage you guys are making is really good to appeal for people living tier 1 or metros.. AiirSource Military make us believe that US is best & we are no where close barring just numbers of troops... but this footage conveys that how qualitatively good our soldiers are..
Mention must be made of Nb Sub. Bana Singh PVC, who captured Siachen post from the Pakistanis in 1987. Nb. Sub. Bana Singh and his team climbed an ice wall of 450 m in a blizzard to capture the Siachen post from the Pakistanis. He was from J&K.
Thank you all soldiers for u r service. May you be safe, healthy and return back to u r family. Thank u Thank u Thank u once again.
Amazing! Thank you for making this series.
For info first unit to conquer Siachen was 1vikas with Kumaon regiment 😊 n my sinior vikasi told there were no good clothing n boots like today but courage n true desh bakti 🫡
thinks have really changed @Sontash1993 thank you for sharing😊
We have been cycling since September 2023 from Arunachal to Sikkim to Uttarakhand on BRO roads. BRO is one of the best organisations in the world and really needs to be awarded the highest award in the country. Working conditions for its workers , casual labourers needs to be paid special attention to on a war footing. We see their lives up close as we crawl up mountains each day and their squalor and poverty is very moving. In some parts there are children of stone breakers also present and some beg from tourists for money and food. On the highways to Tawang scores of local women break stones all day with no facilities for shelter or food. A truck picks up and drops them each day. Some even have six month old babies strapped to their backs.
We sleep soundly because of them... Respect 🙏🇮🇳
Rightly said
A million salutes to our brave jawans 🙏🙏🙏
A big big appreciation to all those local siachen porter who's name remain unnamed with little compensation.. jai op baba
Through your platform, I pay my Salute to the bravehearts and guardians of our borders. Also a special salute to their families as well whose sacrifice goes unnoticed. It was thrilling watching.

This is wow. No words can explain my gratitude for Indian Army. Thank you Strat News for showing an unedited content
thanks for appreciation on behalf of the team @traveldic2887
Best storytelling on Indian Forces (way way better than the NatGeo and Discovery documentaries). Love the narration, the script, and analogies, the voice - I am transported with you to the corners of India, and see our bravehearts firsthand. You have the perfect balance of glorifying our soldiers, and information. I learn from you, as well as get motivated by the soldier's glory. Your human touch at the end of each video - the bts call out of having taken the perfect shot, brillaiant. Just everything you do makes me watch ou more and more.
so heartwarming your feedback is @abhay292 🙏🏾thank you
Indian Army❤
wow! this was one of the best coverage and great editing. Thanks for bringing this window to the life of our frontline heroes to us
wow! @mikoyan07 this is one of the best compliments we have got 🙏🏾
This brings me back to 1984 when I was being trained to be a Forward Air Controller in Siachen. A tough but memorable 45 days on the highest battlefield on Earth... The views are absolutely amazing so beautiful that some soldiers get a disconnect from reality sometimes... hence you have to have group training and drills, call and write to the family... Drinking is strictly prohibited because it can be deadly. Jai Hind!

Humble request to Tri services Chiefs and Govt of India that all personnel deployed there for a tenure must be awarded/decorated out of turn as these soldiers are daily fighting with natural enemy without a war with enemy forces for safety of our beloved Motherland. Deserve salutes.❤❤❤
