New delhi date. Thursday, August 13, 2020

Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal RSK Bhadauria today visited the Forward (very close to the border) airbase of Western Air Command. Meanwhile, Chief of Air Staff Bhadauria reviewed the preparations at Forward Airbase.

Investigated what is called Operation Readiness in terms of defense. He also flew alone in a MiG-21 Bison fighter jet. The flight was naturally in the China border area, but its location was not disclosed.

On the other hand, India also deployed light combat helicopters made by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited on the Chinese border. India has already sent double-engined helicopters with lethal and heavy helicopters like the US-made Chinook and Apache to the LAC for testing.

India's LCH is the world's lightest fighter helicopter. It weighs only 5.5 tons. China considers Pakistan a younger brother and helps the younger brother if needed. Now again, Indian intelligence agencies have said that China is helping Pakistan to spread terrorism.

China is making this move to keep the Indian army busy on the Pakistan border. China has provided drones for equipment and aerial surveillance so that Pakistan can build a mine on the LOC with India. Secret agencies have reported that such mines are being built in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. On the other hand, India has also activated anti-mine teams.

Since these helicopters were designed and developed in India, they have been sent to the border to be given importance under a self-reliant India. If the helicopter proves useful in all respects, it will be considered for purchase in large numbers for the Indian Army. So far only 2 helicopters have been sent. The helicopter can be fitted with weapons, including air-to-air missiles.

Oil companies will not contract Chinese tankers

Government of India oil companies have decided to keep China out of the oil smuggling business. Indian companies hire tankers from different countries to smuggle petroleum. Chinese tanker companies will now be excluded from the leasing process. In the tender that will come out now, the conditions will be the same so that Chinese companies cannot participate. In addition, the government will instruct private companies not to use Chinese ships.

Message from Air Chief Shorty

Chief of Air Staff Bhadauria delivered several messages simultaneously through this short flight (shorty in the language of defense). For one, he traveled in a MiG-21 Bison single-seater aircraft. So the plane was guaranteed to be safe. In addition, he flew alone near the Chinese border, alerting the enemy to both the courage and readiness of the Indian Air Force. The Air Chief Marshal visited the LAC for the second time today in a short time.
