Chinese flankers deployed close to Indian border

Chinese flankers deployed close to Indian border

China increases it's military presence close to Indian border for the last couple years, which include new constructions, transport links and fighter aircraft facilities. The Indo China border almost covered by wide range of Chinese surveillance radars and fighter jets too, which can penetrate Indian air space very easily with the support of modern long range missiles such as S 400.

The Chinese air force is well equipped with modern combat aircraft's.having more than 1500 combat capable modern fourth generation fighter jets, which include more than 600 Flanker variants, who outnumbers entire Indian air force fighter numbers as of today. The heavy fighters supported by light fighter like J 10. and ground attack fighters like JH 7, who also act as a electronic attack fighter too. 

Military analysts confirms that China deployed nearly five to ten squadron of fighter jets in the Lhanzu and Chengdu military regions, who covers northern and western Indian borders, those two military regions act as Indian front, who can focus only about India, China recently restructured the Military commands by changing the small operational regions into military regions, who focus India, Taiwan and Pacific separately.

In the Lanzhou military region who is part of the western military district, covers entire Tibet plateau and India's northern frontier. PLAAF deployed two Flanker squadron, three JH 7 squadron and two   J 10 squadrons. these fighter jets can be thrown in a matter of time towards India. the well equipped military base can allow large number of sortie rates and keeps the service availability of the fighters always in maximum.

Both the Flanker and JH 7 is long range fighter attacker, who specially placed near Tibet to attack Indian forward positions near Kashmir and Uthrakand, even it can try to penetrate the Delhi's airspace too with the EW support from JH 7.

The Lanzhou military region also well supported by aerial refulers and advanced air borne control systems and SIGINT platforms, the Y 8 and An 30 placed in the region can give real time target information to the friendly fighter jets.

Those are all nothing when the H 6 comes as front runner, actually those H 6 bombers could not breach the Indian airspace, due to it's speed and design, even it's older design too. However China uses the H 6 as a missile carrier, by carrying more number of long range cruise missiles, even the newer H 6 E/F variants are remodeled to carry nuclear missiles. In  conventional warfare they too act as a good cruise missile carrier, which can confuse the IAF radars and fighters so much.

So far there is no clear information available about the HQ 9 air defense units in Lanzhou, However entire airspace can be shielded by variety of Soviet designed Chinese cloned air defense missiles and artillery's. who poses a tough challenges to Indian air force, if IAF planned to perform close air support to ground troops. Since Chinese main goal is to keep the IAF sit in the hanger, where PLA ground troops easily outnumber Indian troops along the border.

 Actual details about the Chengdu's military power is not available in open source, since many accused China make this route as favor for any offensive mission against India, who earn victory's in 1962. However satellite analysts reported the Chengdu almost as capable as the power of Lanzhou military region.

In what under new command both the Chengdu and Lanzhou military region comes under the Chinese western theater command, for quick response and focusing India as the main objective. On the other side India still trying to get good option to counter the Chinese deployment.

   Combined team from Indian Army and Indo Tibet Border Police commando's destroys a Chinese built small watch tower inside Indian Territory, which leads a small deployment of force and stand off between  Indian and Chinese Forces, the Chinese made many attempts to breach the line of actual control, earlier in 2013 they camped inside Indian Territory, later the incident was solved by diplomatic relations, to ease the tensions between Indian and Chinese patrol Both of them set up flag meeting to resolve minor disputes themselves,

   The Indian side waited for the Chinese to start the dialogues, they never came, when the wait is over, The Army's northern command and ITBP's Daulat Beg Oilde command send a team to destroy the Chinese Construction, within a minutes the Army and ITBP Commands destroys the Chinese construction and plans to move their respected bases,

   Within a matter of time some hundred plus fully armed Chinese men entered inside Indian land and inspects the destroyed construction, Army and ITBP informed about the incident to the troop commander and shouted " Chinese Please go away from Indian Land ". The Indian Army too deployed some fully armed combat Team from Mountain division, both of them face off each other for  some hours, and Indian Army spotted fast moving vehicles from Chinese side, and Thinks Chinese massing their build up, so Indian Army command also readies it's combat vehicles from Daulat Base,

   However the inbound vehicles come and pickup those Chinese troops and fled away from the scene,  once they vacated the area, Army also moved out from the scene and ITBP continued their regular patrol,

   Nearby LAC, China had some two operational bases Just miles away from the LAC, where Indian's have one large base in Daulat Beg oldie with an operational Air strip, earlier IAF lands it's Hercules special operation plane in that landing strip, such facilities not available in Chinese side, however the base is some 20 miles away from the border, the soldiers construct temporary camps to patrol the border 24x7, the Chinese bases too situated some 20 miles away from the border, they too build temporary camps to conduct Patrols, and sometimes they build those camps inside India, that's the major reason behind the face off.

   The Line of Actual control is regularly patrolled by the  Indian Army and  the ITBP commando's, where Army's Northern command located in Leh, where massive Indian Army is deployed and they were ready to be moved nearby borders within a hour.
