Furthermore, Near Indian territory currently Chinese have situated a large number of fighter jets and unnamed aircraft including major airfields in Hotan and Gar Gunsa which just got upgraded in the last two years at the time while the world was fighting with COVID-19.
what happened in 2020?
In 2020, the People’s Liberation Army diverted large numbers of soldiers towards numbers towards Eastern Ladakh, India after which multiple face-offs and physical fights occurred in that area.
In addition, sources said that the violation of air space was done by Chinese aircraft at the Eastern Ladakh border. No incident has taken place after that.
Sources clarified that the incident wasn’t that major and nothing happened but this can be avoided from another side to maintain peace and any possibility which can lead to something unhealthy.
sources told that the incident took place when there is a confrontation and ongoing stand-off going on between both the Indian military and the Chinese military, Since May 2020.
Chinese military made infrastructure illegally on other side
Sources added that deployment is strengthened in heavy amounts by both Indian Army and Air Force in the entire Ladakh. So that the Chinese military cannot even think about doing something illegal and the Indian military can stand tall whenever needed.
The entire Ladakh sector has been fortified to an extent where adversaries cannot even think of unilaterally altering the status quo on the LAC, sources said.
To cope with the Chinese military which has been constructing infrastructure in Ladakh on illegally occupied land, the Indian army has also built facilities for large-scale deployments at short notice.
What India has done till now?
Even though the Chinese have been doing infrastructure development in the areas illegally occupied by them opposite the Ladakh sector, India has taken measures to build facilities for some infrastructure including roads have been constructed in Ladakh to make it easier for the armed forces to reach the frontline in the shortest and easiest way possible.
Indian Army provided all possible firepower and manpower possible to handle any kind of threat from the Chinese side to the Northern Command in charge of the Ladakh sector.
Similarly, All the major assets including the Rafale combat jet has given by the Indian Air Force side to the Western Air Command in charge so they can respond in seconds if they notice anything unusual.
Regular sorties are done by Indian Air Force to keep an eye on the area where the actual alignment of the LAC is not agreed upon between both Indian and Chinese.
The “creeping forward” policy of the Chinese military to capture Indian territory along with boundaries is making things complicated day by day by causing more issues.
