TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria on Tuesday said any serious conflict with India does not suit China’s global aspirations and “grand plans” and the trigger for the Ladakh face-off could be the result of a variety of reasons including a “military dominated misadventure” that escalated following the rapid trust deficit faced by the neighbouring country due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In an address at a seminar, the IAF chief said China resorted to heavy deployment of radars, surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles as well as other air assets to support its army in view of the border standoff in eastern Ladakh but at the same time asserted that India took every action required to deal with the situation.
Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria said China’s People’s Liberation Army has been focusing on developing capabilities to counter the global dominance of the United States and it could lead to security implications for India. The online seminar was organised by leading think-tank Vivekananda International Foundation.
