Tensions between the two Asian countries are at a decade-long-high following a number of deadly clashes along the disputed border region that separates both countries.
The Indian armed forces deployed their advanced very quick-reaction surface-to-air missile defence systems in the Eastern Ladakh sector amid heightened Chinese fighter aircraft and helicopter activities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
According to ANI report, government sources said: “As part of the ongoing build-up in the sector, the air defense 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.”
