T-90 Bhisma tank exercise at an altitude of 17,000 feet in eastern Ladakh

​By a Staff Reporter:  The Indian and Chinese armies have been facing each other in eastern Ladakh  for nearly a year. The situation became most complicated in the finger areas adjacent to Pangong Lake after clashes in galwan valley. It was there that the two nuclear powers narrowly escaped war. But later, despite meetings multiple times, Chinese forces have repeatedly infiltrated the Indian border. And that's why the indian army is always careful. In an interview to news agency ANI, an army official said, "A year ago, the Indian Army started the Aparsen Snow Leopard to stop Chinese aggression. T-90 Bhishma tanks and T-72 Ajay tanks have spent more than a year at an altitude of 17,000 feet in eastern Ladakh. Even a cold of about -45 degrees could not capture them. In this difficult weather, we have been able to increase our performance a lot. The bhishma tank has already conducted exercises just 40 km from the China border. Not only that, special arrangements have also been taken for maintenance of tanks in winter. Because there is a risk of their machinery getting damaged in the extreme cold.
