GUWAHATI : China has increased activity at its airbase near the North-East Border after defeating the Indian Army in a clash with the Indian Army in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh on December 9. The number of fighter jets and drones has increased here. China’s activities are clearly visible in the satellite image of Maxar Technology. According to the report, China has deployed the Söring Dragon drone at Bangda airbase. This drone is visible in satellite images.
Bangda airbase is just 150 km from the Arunachal border. it’s far away. After this, the Indian Air Force also conducted exercises. Earlier, the US defense website War Zone had released satellite images, in which 10 Chinese aircraft and 7 drones were seen at Tibet’s Shigatse Peace Airport. Tibet has five Chinese airports in Nyingchi, Shigatse and Nagri and these are close to the Indo-Nepal border. China had launched the bullet train from Lhasa to Nyingchi last year. It is near Arunachal. It is being told that this drone can also transfer data for a cruise missile attack so that it can hit the target on the ground. India does not have any drones of this category right now.
This drone is part of this system of China, in which their Air Force can monitor India’s ground positions in real time. These positions can be targeted through missiles from other drones and fighter aircraft. Sameer is working with Hindustan Aeronautics to create a new generation drone for the Indian forces. On the other hand, amid the ongoing tension between Chinese troops on the Tawang border, the Indian Army has now prepared to give a strong blow to the dragon. However, not paying attention to the rest of India’s connectivity to the areas along the Line of Actual Control is proving to be a terrible mistake given China’s tendency to encroach. To correct this mistake, the present central government is working very fast on border infrastructure. The Modi government is preparing a five-year plan to lay a network of roads along the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh. Under this scheme, 1,748 km long two-lane road will be built. To be laid at a distance of 20 km parallel to the border, this road will be developed as a ‘Frontier Highway’.
This border highway will stretch up to the Tibet-China-Myanmar border. This frontier highway in the form of NH 913 will prove beneficial in many ways. This will allow soldiers and military equipment to be transported to the border very soon in emergency situations, on the other hand, the migration of people from the border areas will also be stopped. The highway will start from Bomdila and pass through Nafra, Huri and Monigong. Monigong is the closest area to the Indo-Tibetan border. NH 913 will also pass through Jido and Chenquenti, which are the areas closest to the China border. The entire 1,748 km long Frontier Highway is divided into nine packages. Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the project will cost about Rs 27,000 crore. “The nearly 800 km corridor will be a green zone as there is no other road in such a distance
