Indian Air Force is doing exercise
Significantly, in view of the situation in Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh after December 9 and the military standoff between India and China, the Indian Air Force is conducting a two-day exercise in the Northeast. All combat aircraft close to the front line and other resources deployed in the area are involved in the exercise. The Indian Air Force is conducting this exercise for the purpose of testing military preparedness. This Air Force exercise is taking place at a time when there was a recent skirmish between Indian and Chinese soldiers on the LAC in the Tawang sector. However, the exercise was planned well before the latest standoff between the armies of India and China and has no connection with the incident in Tawang.
