LIVE: India Activates New Ladakh Base Near LAC With China | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Описание: India has inaugurated a new airbase in Ladakh, close to the de-facto border with China in the Himalayas. Indian Air Force Air Chief AP Singh inaugurated the Nyoma Airbase in Ladakh this week, after landing a C-130J Super Hercules plane there. Located at an altitude of about 13,000 feet, the airbase is a mere 30km from the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which serves as New Delhi's de-facto border with Beijing. Not just that, the three armed forces — Indian Army, Navy and Air Force — also conducted a joint drill in the Himalayas, earlier this week. This comes at a strategic time — when India is trying to reduce the trust deficit with China, and the two nations are trying technologically driven ways to monitor the borders and avoid any conflicts.
In such, is India trying to reclaim its strategic position in the Himalayas? How will the new airbase affect the status quo in Ladakh? And, is India trying to send a message to Beijing? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.
