IAF beefs up security on China border
New Delhi, Sep 26, DHNS:
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has beefed up security along the India-China border on the Northern sector, even as the country shied away from accusing China of violating the borders.
Troops along the China border are assured of better and regular logistics with the activation of three new air bases. In addition, the IAF has also deployed mountain radars to monitor incursions by the Chinese.
By 2011, two squadrons of Su-30 MKI fighter will be deployed at the Halwara air base in Punjab to support both eastern and western borders. In the last 18 months, the IAF has converted three 1962 advanced landing grounds (ALG)— Daulat Beg Oldie, Fukche and Nyoma—into airstrips for transport planes. The latest one, Nyoma—located at an altitude of 13,300 ft and just 23 km from the Line of Actual Control (LAC)—was activated last week.
“Next week onwards flights will regularly land at Nyoma to support 14 Corps operations in the north eastern Ladakh,” NAK Browne, commander of Delhi-based Western Air Command said. Without disclosing the total number of unused ALGs in Ladakh, Browne said there are a “number of drop areas” in Ladakh out of which only three have been activated. Though the IAF had activated DBO and Fukche last year, it took some time to compact the strip after it developed cracks and fissure due to snowfall.
may be india is making fast approch to increase its military syrength but the actual thing is that we are not able to protect our land. maximum artiliries of indian army is overdated, by this overdated weapons we are going to fight with the enemy who is more powerful than us. this is all becoz of our polititions. they are the worst.
Options of various radars to be deployed over the next 4-5 years are being examined !!! At this lethargic pace God save India if China decides to get nasty ! Will our perenially reactive and cowardly politicans and babus never learn from history?
What a pathetic response to a well known enemy of our nation!! It seems that they will only react. They do not have an strategy to counter the dragon in the Himalays. A country who almost worships Himalayas, and call it defense wall, ignores their defenses till last minutes. I am sure there is something wrong with the Indian leadership including its military leadership. Please tell the whitecottened leaders better find alies to help them in this hour of crisis. I am sure they are incapable of defending the country. They should learn a lesson from Pakistan and certainly from China.
After so many years they are still examining options!!! They started talking about LLTR many years back. First Thales and then Israel, now what?? Its really funny!!! When they will induct them after PLAAF captures Ladakh??? After so many years they got only one 3D CAR!!! Why all of them are so lazy about national security?
We seriously need something like S-400 in our inventory. But I do not think our political babus are thinking like that.
IAF beefs up security on China border, for what purpose? In the absence of retaliation warning to enemy, this is another eyewash plan from Anthony to fool the public. In future, I doubt, they even report the enemy incursions for the fear of enemy and also to avoid the outburst of Indian public.
