Over 68,000 Indian Army soldiers, around 90 MBTs and other weapon systems were airlifted by the Indian Air Force to eastern Ladakh from across the country for rapid deployment along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) after the deadly clashes in the Galwan Valley, top sources in defence and security establishment said.

The IAF deployed its Su-30 MKI and Jaguar jets for round-the-clock surveillance and intelligence gathering on the enemy build-up, besides putting several squadrons of combat aircraft in "offensive posturing" following the clashes on June 15, 2020 that marked the most serious military conflict between the two sides in decades, they said.

The troops and weapons were ferried by the transport fleet of the IAF within a "very short period of time" for quick deployment in various inhospitable areas along the LAC under a special operation, the sources said while highlighting how the force's strategic airlift capability has increased over the years.

In view of the escalating tensions, the IAF had also deployed a sizeable number of remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs) in the region to keep a hawk-eye vigil on Chinese activities, they said.

As the lingering border row continues in several friction points, the Indian Army and the IAF have been maintaining a high degree of combat readiness to confront any challenge from the adversary, the sources said.

The IAF aircraft airlifted multiple divisions of the Indian Army, totalling over 68,000 troops, more than 90 tanks, nearly 330 BMP infantry combat vehicles, radar systems, artillery guns and many other equipment after the Galwan clashes, they said.

The total load carried by the transport fleet of the IAF, which included C-130J Super Hercules and C-17 Globemaster aircraft, was 9,000 tonnes and displayed the IAF's increasing strategic airlift capabilities, they added.

A number of fighter jets, including Rafale and Mig-29 aircraft, were deployed for combat air patrol while various helicopters of the IAF were pressed into service for the transport of prefabricated structures, ammunition and spares of military equipment to mountainous bases.

The sources said the range of surveillance by Su-30 MKI and Jaguar fighter jets was around 50 km and they ensured that the positions and movements of Chinese troops were accurately monitored.

The IAF also quickly enhanced its air defence capabilities and combat readiness by installing various radars and bringing a range of surface-to-air guided weapons to frontline bases along the LAC in the region, they said.

The strategy was to strengthen military posture, maintain credible forces and monitor the enemy build-up to effectively deal with any situation, the sources said, referring to India's overall approach.

The IAF platforms operated in extremely difficult circumstances and accomplished all their mission goals, said a source without sharing further details.

The overall operation demonstrated the IAF's growing airlift capability compared to what it was during 'Operation Parakram', said another source.

Following the terrorist attack on Parliament in December 2001, India had launched 'Operation Parakram' under which it mobilised a huge number of troops along the Line of Control.

The government has been giving a major push to infrastructure development along the nearly 3,500 km long LAC following the eastern Ladakh faceoff.

The defence ministry has already initiated work on enhancing the overall infrastructure at the Nyoma Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) in eastern Ladakh so that all kinds of military aircraft can operate from it.

The Indian Army has also taken a series of measures since the Galwan Valley clashes to enhance its combat capabilities. It has already deployed a significant number of easily transportable M-777 ultra-light howitzers in mountainous regions along the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh.

The M-777 can be transported quickly in Chinook helicopters and the Indian Army now has the flexibility of quickly moving them from one place to another based on operational requirements.

The Indian Army has powered its units in Arunachal Pradesh with a sizeable number of US-manufactured all-terrain vehicles, 7.62MM Negev Light Machine Guns from Israel and various other lethal weapons.



That indeed is impressive.. How many months did it take and how many sorties. are you saying that IAF moved 6 Divisions worth of force???
 
中国没有兴趣袭击印度,就算赢了,占领了半个印度,那么多印度人,我们还必须花钱拯救他们。
印度不过是个演员,想吸引美国的注意力,这是一种政治卖淫行为。莫迪政府用故意冒犯得罪中国,吸引美国的爱。冒犯中国不是目的,吸引美国才是目的。
不要忘记了,当时是特朗普发动贸易战的最激烈时刻,而美国媒体在炒作中国实验室制造了病毒。
对印度人的最大的侮辱就是不让印度人占便宜。
以我对印度人的了解,如果印度人冒犯边境。最好的处理办法就是杀掉越境的印度士兵,这样印度人觉得自己已经占了最大的便宜了,已经触及对手反击的底线了。印度人会感到心满意足。

China has no interest in attacking India, even if it wins and occupies half of India, so many Indians, we have to spend money to save them.
India is nothing more than an actor trying to get the attention of the US, this is an act of political prostitution. The Modi government deliberately offended China to attract the love of the United States. Offending China is not the goal, but attracting the United States is the goal.
Don't forget that it was the most intense moment of Trump's trade war, and the US media was hyping that the virus was created in a Chinese laboratory.
The biggest insult to Indians is not to let Indians take advantage.
From what I know about Indians, if Indians offend the border. The best way to deal with it is to kill the Indian soldiers crossing the border, so that the Indians feel that they have taken the biggest advantage and have reached the bottom line of the opponent's counterattack. Indians will be content.
 
Chinese withdrew under pressure and lost face in Ladakh. Later last year in November, well prepared Indian troops beat the hell out of a large Chinese party coming to Occupy Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh and got humiliated as beating they received in a fist fight is unforgettable to them.
Oh. In fact. Only Indian mouths will make Chinese men unforgettable.

Seems like IAF deployed SPYDER short-range SAM to protect its Nyoma ALG in Ladakh.
Nyoma is an important Army and Air Force stronghold located just ~30km from the Chinese border

Indian Armed Forces Sealed Rs 23,500 Crore Deals In Last 1 Year Amid LAC Row
1697269310330.png

NEW DELHI: The armed forces have inked contracts worth around Rs 23,500 crore under emergency capital procurements in just the past one year to plug critical operational gaps amid the continuing military confrontation with China in eastern Ladakh, which now is into its fourth year.

The emergency procurements (EPs) include a wide array of missiles and remotely-controlled weapons, loiter and precision-guided munitions, drones and counter-drone systems, satellite and other communication systems, surveillance equipment and radars, personal protection gear and all-terrain and high-mobility reconnaissance vehicles.

"The revenue EPs, which are substantial, are separate. EPs followed a fast-track procedure. They are different from big capital acquisition cases that follow the normal long-winded procurement procedure," a defence establishment source said.

The armed forces have reason to be pleased. The Army alone chalked up over 70 capital acquisition deals worth nearly Rs 11,000 crore in the EP-4 tranche from September 2022 to September 2023.

The IAF, in turn, inked 65 contracts worth over Rs 8,000 crore, while it was 35 cases worth Rs 4,500 crore for the Navy in this timeframe, sources said. Unlike the first three tranches that also saw deals with countries like Russia, Israel and France, the last EP-4 was reserved for procurements only from domestic manufacturers.

Earlier, apart from domestic sources, the EPs ranged from the French 'Hammer' air-to-ground precision-guided munitions for the new Rafale fighter jets, which are designed to destroy bunkers and shelters at a range of 20 to 70-km, to Israeli 'Heron' Mark-2 unmanned aerial vehicles and 'Spike' anti-tank guided missiles.

The government had first delegated capital and revenue financial powers for a limited time to the Army, Navy and IAF for "emergency and critical contracts" to build stocks and spares in the aftermath of the Uri terror attack in September 2016, which led to some tensions with Pakistan.

Those emergency powers were later renewed after the multiple Chinese intrusions into eastern Ladakh in April-May 2020. Overall, the Army has inked 140 contracts worth Rs 17,500 crore under the capital EP mechanism, which includes 68 deals worth Rs 6,500 crore in the first three tranches.

With operational utility of drones and AI-enabled drones being driven home by recent conflicts from Armenia-Azerbaijan to the Russia-Ukraine one, Army spent close to Rs 1,500 crore for 14 projects on drones and counter-drone systems in first three EP tranches.

Another Rs 2,000 crore was then spent on 10 more such projects in EP-4.

It just mentions very short period of time.
I guess within 3 months , because 1st 3 months saw maximum activity of troops movement.

The fact is. No one can defeat Indians on the internet.

understandable

after losing much land and men...

indian manned fire brigades are always late

Pakistan failed militarily, in economic development, in modernization, even in terrorist warfare. You find yourself begging IMF even while turning your soldiers into bodyguards for chinese metal workers who don't think twice about slapping them. Your passports can hardly get you into a couple gulf countries, may be . Your leaders can't get a call back from most of foreign countries.

All that frustration now transitioning from 3rd gen to 4th gen of post 'independence' is bound to make many of you psychopath, frustrated in yourself, your community, your government, your military, your educational system,,,pretty much everything.

You reflect all that failure onto because of something. That something is India very conveniently. But then you see India winning. So you take on the role of Chinese proxy and start saying things that you think will make your current sugar daddy happy even while venting your frustrations.


Pathetic.


but you still get wacked by china 247...
 
Chinese party coming to Occupy Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh and got humiliated as beating they received in a fist fight is unforgettable to them.

Words are cheap, especially Indian words.

What's unforgettable are the pics and videos released by the Chinese.
