Before the recent clash between India and China in the Yangtse area near Tawang, Chinese drones had moved very aggressively towards the Indian positions on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh forcing the Indian Air Force to scramble its fighter aircrafts deployed in the region.

The Chinese military has been behaving aggressively over issues in the Yangtse in the vicinity of the Holydip and Parikrama area on the LAC where the Chinese side has been opposing Indian positions.

"In the last few weeks, there have been two to three occasions where our fighter jets had to be scrambled to tackle the Chinese drones moving towards our positions on the LAC. The Su-30MKI jets had to be scrambled to tackle the air violation threat," defence sources told ANI.

The Indian Air Force keeps a close watch on Chinese drone activities along the LAC in the northeast. The actions have to be taken as the drones or any aircraft can not be allowed to violate the airspace, they said.





The sources said if the drones fly parallel to the LAC, the Indian side does not have any issues with it but if the aircrafts or drones are picked up by radars flying towards Indian territory, necessary actions have to be taken to prevent any violation, they said.

The Indian Air Force has a strong presence in the northeast with squadrons of Su-30 fighter jets deployed at multiple locations including Tezpur and Chhabua in Assam.

The Rafale combat jets have also been deployed very close at Hashimara in West Bengal.

The Indian Air Force has also strengthened its air defence coverage in the area with the operationalisation of the S-400 air defence system in the Assam sector only. The system can take care of any aerial threat over almost the entire area.

The Chinese and Indian side recently agreed on multiple measures to prevent any aerial escalation after the violation of air space by Chinese in Ladakh sector earlier this year.

After the provocations by the Chinese in the area, the Indian side strongly took up the issue at military talks and it was decided that the fighter aircraft of both sides would remain much behind their perceived Line of Actual Control in the area.

Seems the Chinese are trying to humiliate India once again.
We feel pity for our neighbors and strongly condemn the Chinses act of aggression.
Hope this time India will punch China even harder by uninstalling the full list of Chinses applications from their smartphones.

Note to CCP: seeing in this thread how much pak posters are wagging their tails for you, throw them a couple more biscuits next time.

What will india throw the Chinese.. their behinds for a good shafting? You dirty Indian

 

[Olympus81]

Wonder why China are escalating now?

Personally, I believe S-400 is one of the best air defenses in the world. I have no doubt,
However, I will say something about this YT video.
1- ''Reportedly'' a SU27 was shot by Russian S-400.
2- The robotic guy just keep repeating '' reportedly''. I believe up to 12 times in this video.
3- SU27 has RCS equavalent of a passenger jet. Probably the highest of any jet in the world.
4- SU27 is a Soviet/Russian-made jet............. Russia fully knows its pros and cons and how to tackle it.

I am not degrading S-400 but its real test will come against Chinese and Pakistani assets in the future. Pakistan does not have any of Russian tech except engines of JF-17 and Chinese although do have a lot of Russian tech in their flankers but they have modified them a lot, both externally by use of composites and RAM and internally by installing their own EW suits.
Also, I do not think China will risk anything which India already has even a little knowledge about. In case of conflict, Chinses will use their 5th Generation stealth platforms and other Airborne assets.

Don't project your habits on Indians.

Yes, he said dirty. He should have said both ''dirty and filthy''.

All claims about S 400 being made are BS. They haven't worked to the expectations at all. In fact, long and medium range air defenses of Russia has mostly failed to protect it from Ukrainain attacks. Now either their training, tactics or weapons sucks that has to be seen.

I believe each and everything sucks for Russians..... and the same goes for Indians.

It is India that is escalating. India see China concentrating on Taiwan issue and see it as an opportunity to pounce.

 

[Trango Towers]

Fine, you will know your kind better. So, @Trango Towers , as your fellow said, stop projecting your dirty and filthy stuff onto others.

Ahhh cute. Like dishing it but not taking it.

Don't project your habits on Indians.

My little rapist neighbour ....are you taking a break to attend PDF on a Chinese laptop?
