In what comes as a piece of positive news amid the ongoing India-China border disputes, the Indian Army has reportedly taken control of six strategically important mountain peaks along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, therefore putting New Delhi in a tactically superior position over Beijing.
In what comes as a piece of positive news amid the ongoing India-China border disputes, the Indian Army has reportedly taken control of six strategically important mountain peaks along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, therefore putting New Delhi in a tactically superior position over Beijing.
According to sources, the Indian Army is now in a position to effectively monitor the movements of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), providing a huge advantage in the current conflict.
Not just this, India is also bringing out the big guns and the newest additions to its arsenal. The French Dassault Rafale twin-engine fighter aircraft, recently inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF), have also been found conducting 'familiarisation sorties' in Ladakh. It is presumed that the Rafale jets are keeping an eye out for Chinese air activity in the region.
Notably, the IAF has been on high alert following the recent incidents of firing by Chinese troops near the LAC. The air arm of the Indian Armed Forces is looking to enhance its combat skills, keeping in mind the aggressive nature of the PLA.
Meanwhile the India, China Corps Commander meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday (September 21, 2020) at Moldo, the Chinese side of the LAC to hold discussions over defusing the border tensions.
This time a diplomat from the Indian side will be present at the meeting. Naveen Srivastava, Joint Secretary East Asia of Ministry of External Affairs will attend the Crops Commander meet tomorrow.
At least five such corps commander meetings between the Indian and Chinese armies have taken place on June 6, 22 and 30, July 14 and August 2.
In the first meet, on June 6, both sides had arrived on a consensus for disengagement but the Chinese violated it which lead to a bloody standoff at Galwan on June 15. India had lost 20 soldiers while China also suffered casualties.
