New Delhi: The China and India relationship are again under scanner as according to Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India’s premier intelligence agency reports, China is in the making of around 27 airbase in Tibet which it can be using against India.

Recently, China was raising objections over construction of a rural road in Ladakh region, it has now been revealed that the Chinese army is simultaneously building and repairing 27 airstrops in the Tibet region. Media reports also said that Beijing has also built several launch pads for nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles in the region.

According to a senior offical,“Many of these 27 military airstrips have been newly built. Others which have been expanded too are seeing increased Chinese activities. Like the intermediate range missiles stationed in the Delingha region, these airfields can be of strategic use for China only against India.”Its is for sure that these airbases will give China an edge in the event of a war as they would allow sustained combat operations by PLA fighters over all of northern India and strike key cities.

As per the government sources first delegation of PLA’s deputy chief, Gen Gezen-Feng, the three service chiefs and defence secretary will soon have a meeting with Defence Minister A K Antony on the issue.
