China is constructing a new heliport near the “Fishtails” sector of Arunachal Pradesh, a region bordering India. Located just 20 kilometers from the Indian border, this facility is expected to significantly bolster China’s military capabilities in the region.
The heliport is believed to be part of China’s ongoing efforts to modernize its infrastructure along the Sino-Indian border. By providing a rapid deployment capability for troops and equipment, the heliport will enhance China’s ability to respond quickly to any potential threats or incursions.
Experts believe that the new heliport will also improve China’s border patrol capabilities. With the ability to deploy troops and surveillance equipment swiftly, China can strengthen its monitoring of the border and deter any attempts at cross-border incursions.
The construction of the heliport comes amidst growing tensions between India and China over the disputed border region. While both countries have engaged in diplomatic efforts to resolve the boundary dispute, the ongoing infrastructure development along the border raises concerns about potential future confrontations.
The development of the heliport near Arunachal Pradesh is yet another indication of China’s increasing military presence in the region. It underscores the importance of the Sino-Indian border in China’s strategic calculus and highlights the need for India to maintain a strong military posture to safeguard its territorial integrity.
