Chinese Airbases Near India Is A Nightmare
Right now, work that was to go ahead
for an Airport at Tawang has halted. Indian intelligence has confirmed that
there is a likelihood of nothing less than 16 bases close to Ladakh, Himachal
Pradesh, Uttrakhand, and the crucial Indian-Nepal tri-junction. What goes
against us as of now is the fact that we do share boundaries with Xinjiang
(China), Pakistan and Afghanistan. Of these, China is playing a sly game of
supporting Pakistan and Taliban in Afghanistan too; all to the discomfort of Indian
sensibilities.
Concern for the Northeast and
Arunachal particularly are two new airports being developed close to its borders.
The Tawang Airport would have
actually been a more usable option, both from domestic and military purposes. The
Tawang helipad has already been under Army control. But it has remained limited
due to lack of feasibly terrain. It is imperative India can get itself prepared
in time, because China seems to be working overtime to get a brownie point over
us.
