Indian Army China Border

Indian and Chinese troops have "almost completed" disengagement in the Depsang and Demchok areas of eastern Ladakh, defence sources told news agency ANI Tuesday.

The Indian military is "trying to restore trust" in its Chinese counterpart, Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi said Tuesday afternoon, a day after India and China reached a patrolling agreement along the Line of Actual Control.

In a thrilling rescue operation, an soldier who went missing during a patrol along the India-China border, has been safely recovered after being trapped under snow for three days.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said today that there has been "some progress" with China on the boundary issue. The minister said that approximately 75 per cent of the "disengagement" problems have been resolved.

Five soldiers of the Indian Army were killed after their tank met with an accident during a river-crossing exercise near the Line of Actual Control in Leh's Daulat Beg Oldi area in the early hours of Saturday, officials said.

With over 500 of its tanks and infantry combat vehicles deployed in Eastern Ladakh, the Indian Army has created a record of sorts by setting up two of world's highest tank repair facilities in that area to support its operations there.

China's growing military prowess has implications for India's defence planning and security posture. Making Indian armed forces fit to fight 21st-century wars should be the topmost priority for any government that takes office in June.

In the backdrop of the nearly four-year border row with China in eastern Ladakh, Army Chief General Manoj Pande on Wednesday said the Indian Army's preparedness levels are of a "very high order" and the force is keeping a "very close watch" on develo

India has been ranked as the fourth strongest military in the world, just after China, according to the Global Firepower Index, a platform that analyses data based on factors that determine a nation's war-fighting capability.

Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande on Thursday said the situation along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh is "stable" but "sensitive", and asserted that Indian troops are maintaining a "high state" of preparedness to deal with any challenge.

Major aerial exercise 'Poorvi Akash' held across northeastern states along China border by Indian Air Force included joint operations with Army and involved high-tech lethal weapons such as the 'Sudarshan' S-400 air defence missile systems.

The resolute and firm manner in which the Indian troops stood up to the Chinese forces during the eastern Ladakh border standoff has made the world take notice of the "political and military resolve of a rising India", Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande said

India has always been a peace-loving nation, but will not spare those with "ill intention or hostility", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, amid lingering border row with China in eastern Ladakh and Pakistan's support to cross-border terrorism.

Over 68,000 Army soldiers, around 90 tanks 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 after the deadly clashes in the Galwan Valley.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday asked the Army to maintain strong vigil along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China as the situation in the northern sector remained "tense" in view of the deployment of PLA troops.
