IAF Chief Visits Leh to Review Ladakh Operations, Fighter Aircraft Moved to Forward Bases

New Delhi: Days after violence clash with Chinese troops  in Galwan Valley, Air chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria visited to the Leh and Srinagar airbases, which would be the most critical for any operations to be carried out by the force in the Eastern Ladakh area, reports said.

According to reports, first he visited Leh on June 17 and from there he went to the Srinagar airbase on June 18. Both these bases are closest to the Eastern Ladakh area and most suited to carry out any fighter aircraft operations in the mountainous terrain and also have a clear edge over the Chinese, news agency ANI reports.

Meanwhile, the Air Force has moved its critical front line assets including the Sukhoi-30MKI, Mirage 2000 and Jaguar fighter aircraft fleet to advanced positions where they can fly in at a very short notice to carry out operations
