In a significant strategic step, the Indian Army has deployed specialised elements of a Strike Corps in eastern Ladakh to check any further misadventure by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). The soldiers of these specialized elements have started their reorientation training and familiarization. The move is seen as a part of the Army's 'rebalance' approach in northern, western and northeastern borders.
As per a report in The Print, several new Strike Corps elements have arrived in Ladakh, which includes artillery units with specialised firepower, armoured and mechanised columns, and infantry. "This is part of the re-orientation training. This is not a permanent deployment as they will come back to their stations after some time. They will be replaced by the rest of the elements from the particular Corps. The Strike Corps will come into play when there is a need," The Print quoted one of the sources as saying.

Are they going to “re-brand” as the India Guardians?
“A crucial decision made as part of the efforts was the dual-tasking of a Strike Corps which means that the Strike Corps, which formerly focused solely on Pakistan, will now be responsible for China as well. From now on, China will be its primary emphasis. Some of the Strike Corps’ formations had to be disbanded, while others were kept. As part of the new policy, the Strike Corps’ armoured division was renamed the Army Headquarters Reserve Division.”

That aircraft has the word “Indian” on it. Better change the name....sarc.
Seriously President Xi was near India on Friday visiting Tibet.
Cool. The ChiComm “supermen” are still licking their tails after India’s Gurkhas chopped them up into sum ting gooey at Ladakh last summer.
Not much use for heavy armour in the Himalayas at 15k feet. Will prolly get some of the Light tanks to be purchased soon.

Except the Chinese have a new light tank built for mountains - don’t know how good it is but they will have armor. I forget the designation - you’ll have to look it up.
