New Delhi: Indian Air Force deploying fighter jets on the Chinese border. Sophisticated fighter jets were deployed near the LoC. The air force is conducting combat missions across the border. Army forces have also begun to move along the Manali-Leh highway.
Earlier, Air Force Chief RKS Bhaduriya visited the Srinagar Air Force Base. If any operation is to be carried out in the eastern Ladakh region, these airports will be concentrated. Major-level talks that had taken place last week had also failed. China has also refused to withdraw its military footprint targeting India’s territories. It is in this backdrop that India too has begun its war effort.
India’s advanced fighter jets, including the Sukhoi 30 MKI, the Mirash 2000, and the Jaguar fighter jet have arrived here. This is to attack within the shortest possible time. US-made Apache helicopters have also been deployed to support the Army in the Ladakh region.
The Chinook helicopters were deployed in and around Leh Air Base to transport the troops in case of need. Border commanders have urged border commanders to remain vigilant and prevent any further unexpected attacks from the Chinese side, such as the one in Galvan yesterday.
In addition to Ladakh, Chinese troops have also been deployed in Tibet. There are around 10,000 troops of the People’s Liberation Army. Chinese fighter jets can also use the Skardu airbase in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. But satellite imagery suggests that Chinese warplanes have not yet arrived at Pakistani airspace.
