Eastern Ladakh epicentre of multiple manoeuvres

The exercises took place in Nyoma by the armoured unit that included modern war horse T-90, T-72 and BMP-2. They passed through rapid enemy assault in the undulated surface of the valley. Nyoma stands at a height of about 13,700 ft and is around 30 km inside the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Speaking to this newspaper, soldier Tradesman Manoj Kumar showed confidence in the machine and their ability to knock down the enemy. "We are fully prepared to destroy our enemy at this altitude. It can be deployed anywhere and remove its obstacles to cross the area. It is capable of deep-fording (a technique used to cross deep water by driving a vehicle on the riverbed, lakebed, or seabed)."
