Debjit Mukherjee: An aircraft of the Chinese Air Force flew very close to a friction point in the eastern Ladakh sector on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the last week of June.
The incident took place at around 4 am on one of the days in the last week of June. The aircraft was spotted by men on the ground and also picked by indigenous radars deployed in the border area.
Following this, the Indian Air Force responded as per the standard operating procedures. The matter was also taken up with the Chinese as per the east abolished mechanism.
It was clarified that the particular incident was not a very serious one but such instances should be avoided by the other side as they can lead to possible escalation.
