Relations between India and China have been strained by the bloody clash between India and China in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh a few days ago.  Meanwhile, Indian Air Force Chief RKS Bhadauria reached Leh on a two-day tour.  He reviewed the airbases of Leh and Srinagar.  Both these air bases are important for any operation in every sense.  At the same time, Indian fighter jets have been sent to further airfields with this tour.

Following the tension on the border with China, the Air Force has moved its various goods, including fighter jets to forward bases and airfields.  On June 15, violent clashes between Indian and Chinese soldiers took place in Galwan, Ladakh.  During this time, 20 soldiers of our country were martyred.

Officials of India and China are constantly in talks to reduce tension.  The result was that China had captured 10 Indian soldiers where they have been released but now the visit of Leh and Kashmir is considered to be important between the talks of the army chief.  It is being told that he will take stock of India's military bases during this tour.  This is the reason that along with his tour, fighter aircraft are also being deployed at the airbase near the border.

Government sources told ANI, 'The Air Force chief was on a two-day visit where he checked the operational readiness of all the platforms in view of the Chinese invasion with LAC in eastern Ladakh, where more than 10,000 troops were mobilised by China'.

Sources said that on the first day of his visit, the Chief was in Leh on 17 June and he went to Srinagar air base on 18 June.  These two bases are closest to the eastern Ladakh region, also it is most suited to any fighter aircraft operation in the mountainous region.
