[Global Network Report Reporter Zhao Jiandong] In the Sino-Indian border area, small moves continue, and India has begun to stir up trouble again? According to the "Times of India" news on the 2nd, the Indian Army and Air Force held an "airborne operation" military exercise in the so-called "Ladakh" eastern region on the 1st local time, and nearly 200 special soldiers and transportation equipment, missile detachments and other heavy materials were transported to the "airborne area" of the place. Zhang Xuefeng, a Chinese military expert, previously said in an interview with the Global Times that India's actions in the border areas have not helped to ease tensions between China and India, and that any attempt to change the balance of power between the two sides is futile.

The Times of India quoted sources as saying that the exercise lasted for three days, and the Indian military will send hundreds of troops and heavy weapons systems that have been pre-adapted to the environment to conduct the exercise at an altitude of more than 14,000 feet (about 4,267 meters) and minus 20 degrees Celsius. According to reports, the Indian army dispatched C-130J "Super Hercules" transport aircraft and "An-32" aircraft from 5 military bases to transport exercise troops and military materials to the "airborne area" in the east of "Ladakh".
The above-mentioned sources claimed that the exercise was intended to send another "clear message" to China after last week's test firing of the Agni-5 missile, "to avoid any unfortunate incidents in the border areas."
The Times of India also described in detail the Indian army's exercise project for the next two days, reporting that Indian airborne troops will "defend" the occupied area in the next simulated exercise, while "enemy" tanks will be "destroyed" by the newly added Apache attack helicopters. Indian "friendly" main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles will converge with the airborne troops in the defending positions to complete the combat exercise. The report also said that the content of the Indian military's exercise also includes an aerobic combat parachuting exercise and a comprehensive combat exercise of airborne troops, mechanized units and helicopter gunships to verify combat capabilities and seamless integration capabilities.

India's Economic Times claimed that the exercise may be the largest "show of force" conducted by indian forces in the eastern part of the so-called "Ladakh" region since the confrontation between the Chinese and Indian armies in May last year.
With regard to India's incessant disturbances in the Sino-Indian border areas, Senior Colonel Long Shaohua, spokesman for the Western Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, clearly pointed out in his speech at the thirteenth round of Sino-Indian talks at the military commander level that the Chinese side's determination and will to safeguard national sovereignty are unswerving, and hopes that the Indian side will not misjudge the situation, cherish the current hard-won situation in the Sino-Indian border area, scrupulously abide by the relevant agreements, agreements and consensus between the two militaries of the two countries and the two armed forces, earnestly show sincerity and action, and work with the Chinese side to jointly safeguard peace and tranquility in the border areas.
