INDUS RIVER SHOWDOWN: INDIAN ARMY TANKS AND COMBAT VEHICLES ENGAGE IN BOLD DRILLS TO STRIKE ENEMY POSITIONS IN EASTERN LADAKH

After the Chinese forces started showing aggression in the Eastern Ladakh sector by diverting its training exercise troops, the Indian Army brought in a large number of tanks and armored combat vehicles in the eastern Ladakh sector that has large open valleys which are very conducive for tank battles.

The special drills carried out by Indian Army's tank formations including the T-90 and T-72 tanks and BMP infantry combat vehicles to cross the mighty Indus river which flows from the Tibetan territory controlled by the Chinese Army through the entire Ladakh sector before entering Pakistan. 

This equipment is a 155 mm x 45 caliber Dhanush Made in India Howitzer. This modern two-system is made by a gun carriage factory in Jabalpur under the Make in-India scheme and it is stationed here since last year. It can target above 4000 meters of sea level with the accuracy of a 48-kilometer target. It has six types of ammunition and can fire three rounds in the first fire...This is the transfer of technology of Bofors. But India has made it by itself under the Make in India scheme," Captain V Mishra said.
