Chinese-Indian Border / China is not deterring its antics fighter planes are flown near the Indian border on LAC

Chinese-Indian Border: China's move to send its fighter planes very close to the Indian border took place in the last week of June, when around 4 in the morning, Chinese fighter planes were seen very close to the LAC on the Eastern Ladakh sector. Along with this, it was also caught by the radar stationed in the border area. Thereafter the Indian Air Force also responded swiftly as per standard operating procedures.

China is doing exercises

According to the Hindustan Times report, sources said that the incident took place at a time when the Chinese side is conducting exercises involving its fighter jets and air defense weapons, including the S-400 air defense system, in areas bordering the eastern Ladakh sector. The Chinese have a large number of fighter jets and unmanned aircraft, which have been deployed near Indian territory. These include the major airfields at Hotan and Gar Gunsa, which have been developed during the past two years.

Have done such a thing before

During one such combat exercise in 2020, the People's Liberation Army diverted its troops in large numbers to Indian posts in eastern Ladakh, leading to several face-to-face fights in the region. Sources said that the issue of the aircraft coming close to Indian posts was taken up with the Chinese under the East Developed Mechanism.

There has been a conflict in this area

Sources clarified that the incident was not very serious, but such incidents should be avoided by the other side, as it may increase the time to come. The aircraft came very close to areas on the LAC where there has been a confrontation between the Indian and Chinese sides during the ongoing military standoff between the two sides since May 2020.

Air Force has also strengthened the situation

Sources said that the Indian Army and Air Force have since then strengthened their positions and the entire Ladakh sector has been strengthened to such an extent that the adversaries cannot even think of unilaterally changing the situation on the LAC. Even though the Chinese are illegally developing infrastructure in their occupied areas in front of the Ladakh sector.

India has also strengthened the infrastructure

However, India has also extensively developed infrastructure including roads in Ladakh to make it easier for soldiers to reach the frontline in less time than before. The Northern Command in charge of the Ladakh sector in the Indian Army has been provided with all possible firepower and manpower to deal with the threat from the Chinese side. At the same time, similarly, the Western Air Command in-charge of the region has been given all the major assets, including Rafale fighter jets, to deal with any incident from the Indian Air Force.
