We are aware of Chinese presence in Ladakh, Indian Air Chief threats to China

Indian Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is aware of Chinese presence in parts of Ladakh and is alert to intrusions by Chinese military helicopters, including in the Galwan region of northeast Ladakh where Indian and Chinese soldiers are involved in a faceoff.

“(Chinese) helicopter activity has seen a spurt,” said RKS Bhadauria in an interview to a TV channel. “Whenever there is activity, as per our standard operating procedures, we deploy aircraft to monitor. That was done. There was nothing there that we are not aware of,” he said.

At the same time, the IAF has not detected any large-scale or untoward movement of Chinese fighter aircraft in the Tibet region where Beijing has significantly built up its military infrastructure in the last decade
