Meanwhile …
Amid the growing tensions between India and China, the Indian army has already deployed the T-90 Bhishma Tank in Ladakh, which is considered to be the most dependable tank in the world. These tanks were part of the drill the defence minister Rajnath Singh had witnessed last week in Ladakh. These tanks have been deployed in a clear message to China that no encroachment along the India-China border will be tolerated.
