Air Force to conduct exercise in Eastern Sector to test capabilities on China front

India Today  

The Indian Air Force on Tuesday said that it will conduct an exercise in the Eastern Sector of the country on December 15 and 16. The development comes a day after the Indian Army said troops from two sides clashed along the Line of Actual Control in the Tawang sector on December 9 and the face-off led to "minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides". However, the Indian Air Force has said that the command level exercise in the eastern sector is a routine exercise and planned in advance. TAWANG CLASH — ALL WE KNOW SO FAR The skirmish in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawan was the first major clash between the Indian and the Chinese armies since August 2020 near Rinchen La in eastern Ladakh. GOVT ON TAWANG CLASH A day after the incident made national headlines, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the Indian Army bravely thwarted an attempt by the Chinese PLA from "unilaterally" changing the status quo in the Yangtse area of Tawang.
