India decoys missiles to counter china at LAC.
China has been promising a de-escalation at the border but it doesn't walk the talk now china has come up with a new logic a new plan to justify its military assertiveness. China says it is following the line of actual control proposed way back in 1959 a position that India has rejected for more than 60 years now China is not willing to relent what should new Delhi do. strengthen its defenses and that's what it's doing rolling out missiles to counter the Chinese threat. India tested the Brahmos missile and two more missiles have been deployed.
the city of Balasore in India Orissa was buzzing today a supersonic cruise missile road through the skies traveling three times faster than the speed of sound. Brahmos was India's arsenal for a while now the scientists at Indias defense research and development organization or DRDO have extended its range the missile can now travel up to 400 km. it has the potential to hit targets deep inside enemy lines.
the Brahmos is part of a lineup of three missiles that would serve as deterrence against china as the border standoff continues. India is now positioning the missiles close to counter the Chinese buildup.
the Brahmos horse along with the Nirbhay and Akash are guarding India on the front.
the Nirbhay has a range of 800kms while the Akash which is a surface to air missile can hit targets that are 40kms aways.
these missiles have a very specific role to play in case china decides to escalate the situation.
the Brahmos can be used to target Chinese airstrips in Tibet and Xinjiang. it can also be used to take out a warship in the Indian ocean.
the Nirbhay is a long-range all-weather missile. it can be launched from multiple platforms and it can carry conventional and nuclear warheads.
Akash can be used to counter any PLA aircraft intrusion across the line of actual control in Ladakh. boosting India's defenses against china is the need of the arm because china isn't pulling back its troops. PLA soldier is stationed close to LAC.
India has been expanding its border infrastructure to track its movements amove that hasn't gone unnoticed in Beijing.
The Chinese ministry of foreign affairs says
we are also opposed to infrastructure construction aimed at military acquisition and control in the disputed border areas. according to the recent consensus reached between China and India, neither side should take any action in the border area that will complicate the situation so as to avoid affecting the efforts to ease the situation.
