India's new 255 km all-weather motorable DSDBO road connects Ladakh to the strategically situated DBO, Daulat Beg Oldie, the world's highest advanced landing ground, ALG, at 16,614 ft located at Sub-Sector North or SSN, just kilometres away from the base of Karakoram Pass. The Darbuk-Shyok-DBO road effectively blunts China's military ambitions. #DBO #DSDBO #daulatbegoldi #galwan
