China Launches ‘All-Out Offensive’ With Attack Helicopters, Artillery On ‘Blue Army’ Near LAC.
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) recently conducted large-scale drills in the snowy plateau of Tibet bordering India. This Snowfield Duty-2021 exercise took place 4,500 meters above sea level and involved more than 10 brigades and regiments.
It was a joint, multidimensional combat exercise in mountainous and plateau regions, with the goal of target elimination. A video of the exercise was released by the state-owned China Central Television (CCTV).
During the drills, the troops operated some of the PLA’s latest equipment and weapons. Such a display of power by China in the Tibet region is a warning sign to India, analysts believe.
CCTV reported that the PLA’s Tibet Military Command had held drills of live fire in different terrains, over different time periods as well as employing all types of combat elements in Tibet.
Combat units joining the drill included an elite regiment from the military district, alpine troops, forces with tanks and military vehicles, artillery personnel, missile forces, drones, intelligence personnel, army aviation teams, and airborne troops, the CCTV video clip showed.
