Chinese People’s Liberation Army carried out a night battle exercise at over 16,000 feet altitude of Xinjian, near the borders with India.
The Western Theatre Command conducted the night battle exercise lately to enhance their capabilities, sources informed. The theatre command oversees the Xinjiang and the Tibet autonomous regions as well as the border with India, making it the largest geographical region under one command in the PLA.
China has renovated its existing airfields in the Tibetan plateau that will allow twin-engines fighter aircraft to be stationed. They are currently revamping 30 airports built or under construction in Xinjiang and Tibet for military transportation.
China has refurbished infra projects in Tibet, inaugurating a high-speed bullet train connecting provincial capital Lhasa with Nyingchi, the Tibetan border town close to Arunachal Pradesh. The Chinese Army has also been rapidly boosting military infrastructure at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) after skirmishes with the Indian Army last year.
