India deploys Akash missiles at Ladakh LAC to tackle Chinese threat 6/27/2020 11:54:41 PM Agencies New Delhi, June 27: After China increased air activity along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), India deployed its advanced very quick-reaction surface-to-air missile defence systems in the Eastern Ladakh sector. This comes after Chinese fighter aircraft and helicopter activities increased along the LAC. The air defence systems of both Indian Army and the Indian Air Force have been deployed in the sector to prevent any misadventure by the Chinese Air Force fighter jets or the People's Liberation Army choppers there, government sources said. China has brought in Sukhoi-30 and its Xian H-6 strategic bombers to the rear locations and which have been detected flying near the Indian territory maintaining the 10 km plus distance from the boundary. India will also be getting the Russian S-400 missile defence systems shortly and defence minister Rajnath Singh, during his Moscow visit, had said that the Russian leadership assured him that all ongoing military contracts will be completed on time despite COVID-19 pandemic. Chinese sources also said that PLAAF choppers have been flying very close to the Indian LAC in all the troubled sectors including the Daulat Beg Oldie sector, Galwan valley near Patrolling Point 14, Patrolling Point 15, Patrolling Point 17 and Hot Springs area along with the Pangong Tso and Finger area. The fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force is also very active in the eastern Ladakh area and all the surveillance gaps have been plugged and no enemy aircraft would be able to go undetected from the eyes of defence forces. India has deployed its frontline assets like Su-30MKIs, Apache attack helicopters and Boeing CH-47 Chinook along the LAC. Meanwhile, Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) President Lobsang Sangay today said that the ongoing military aggression across the Himalayas is not the first by China and it won't be the last.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
