"Mighty Dragons" stealth jets at Shigatse airport, has raised alarms in New Delhi, highlighting a new threat

 The deployment of Chinese J-20 "Mighty Dragons" stealth jets at Shigatse airport, just 150 km from the Indian border, has raised alarms in New Delhi, highlighting a new threat amid ongoing Sino-India border disputes.

This move, part of #China's third military buildup, includes additional J-10 aircraft and a KJ-500 early warning system, significantly increasing #Chinese military presence near the Sikkim border.

This article discusses China's infrastructure campaign that has seen the construction of numerous airports and heliports in #Tibet and #Xinjiang, aiming to bolster military capabilities along the border. In response, #India has intensified efforts to build border infrastructure and upgrade military defenses, including deploying S-400 missile units.

However, India's lack of stealth capability compared to China's advanced J-20 jets, which can carry sophisticated missiles and evade radar detection, exposes a significant "Stealth Gap." This technological disparity is exacerbated by Pakistan's impending acquisition of Chinese J-31 fighters, potentially widening the operational gap in India's air defense capabilities.
