- The Indian armed forces have deployed their advanced very quick-reaction surface-to-air missile defence systems in the Eastern Ladakh sector, amid heightened Chinese fighter aircraft and helicopter activities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
- Chinese choppers have been flying very close to the Indian LAC in all the troubled sectors including the Sub Sector North (Daulat Beg Oldie sector), Galwan valley along with the Pangong Tso and Finger area.
- The Indian quick reaction air defence system includes the Akash missile which can take down very fast-moving combat aircraft and drones in few seconds and many modifications and upgrades have already been done in it to make it suitable for deployment in the high mountainous terrain.
