TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Asserting that India has made adequate deployments at the China border to deal with the ongoing conflict with Beijing, Indian Air Force Chief R K S Bhadauria on Thursday said that the induction of Rafale aircraft has caused worries in the Chinese camp as they had deployed J-20 fighter jets close to Indian territory as soon as the French-origin jets joined the Indian air fleet.
“The situation there currently is that talks are going on. We have deployed our forces which are required. All depends on how the talks go. A lot of attention is being given to that and if de-escalation and disengagement start, it would be good. If it does not happen or some new situation happens, we are fully prepared for that,” said IAF Chief Bhadauria.
Over the reports of a pullback by the Chinese side in the Ladakh sector, Bhadauria said, “From China’s side, there have been some pullbacks from air deployment view and changes in deployment. But there have some other actions which have been contrary like strengthening their air defence capability. These deployments have not reduced and are being strengthened.” “We alter our deployments or readiness level as per what we see on the ground.”
