The Indian Air Force airlifted tens of thousands of troops and a large amount of military equipment, including infantry combat vehicles, tanks, artillery guns, surface-to-air guided weapons and radars, to forward areas in eastern Ladakh to strengthen the country's military posture to counter the Chinese after the Galwan Valley skirmish in June 2020, people aware of the matter said on Sunday.
India and China have been locked in a military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh since April-May 2020, and bilateral ties plummeted to a six-decade low after the Galwan Valley clash killed 20 Indian soldiers.
The two sides are likely to hold the 19th round of military level talks on Monday to discuss tensions along the LAC.
According to India's assessment, PLA's casualties were twice as many as the Indian Army's though Beijing officially claimed that only four Chinese soldiers were killed.
