Even as the 16th round of high-level military talks between India and China is underway, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari on Sunday said air activity across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is being continuously monitored and whenever the IAF spots any Chinese aircraft coming a little too close to the friction points, appropriate measures are taken.
In the last week of June, a Chinese aircraft breached the Indian perceived LAC and flew over the friction points for a few minutes. The fighter was detected by the Indian radars and Indian fighters were launched to ward off or intercept the PLAAF fighter.
“Air activity across LAC is continuously monitored by us. Whenever we find Chinese aircraft coming a little too close to the LAC, then, we take appropriate measures by scrambling our fighters and putting our systems on high alert. This has deterred them,” news agency ANI quoted the IAF chief as saying.
