China's secret military facility revealed through Google Earth
Someone KenGrok, a Google Earth user from Germany, discovered a model of a disputed territory of China and India on a map of the Earth, Newsru.com reports. The landscape of the model imitates the border region, because of which the countries were embroiled in a conflict in 1962. The imitation is located in one of China’s military bases (far from the disputed territory) and is supposedly used for military training — the image clearly shows people who are studying the territory.
The Chinese authorities claim that the model is used to teach tankers to drive. However, this version was perceived by the world community with distrust, since the scale of imitation is too small - the tank cannot be maneuvered there. It is likely that the user of Google Earth was able to reveal the plans of China to resolve the border dispute by force.
