Amid the escalating tensions between China and India, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been mobilizing its Army from different parts of the country near the Line of Actual Control that divides India and China.
Global Times reported that China has been reportedly mobilizing forces, including bombers, air defense troops, artillery, armored vehicles, paratroopers, special forces and infantry units, from different parts of the country to the bordering plateau region.
H-6 bombers and Y-20 large transport aircraft attached to the PLA Central Theater Command Air Force have been deployed to the plateau region for training missions, the report read.
The PLA is also conducting long-distance maneuvers, deployment exercises and live-fire drills in Northwest China’s desert areas and Southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region near the southern bank of the Pangong Tso Lake and near the Reqin Mountain pass.
An air defense brigade under the PLA 72nd, Paratroopers and heavy equipment on board the Air Force’s transport aircraft was also spotted in the deserts of Northwest China.
The Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe has said that India bears full responsibility for the current China-India border tensions and not an inch of Chinese territory can be lost.
Pertinently both India and China have accused eachother of provocations along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh.
