China Deploys J-20 Stealth Fighters Near India-China Border, Highlighting Air Power Gap
Recent satellite images reveal China has deployed 11-12 J-20 stealth fighter jets at airbases in Hotan, Xinjiang, and Damxung, Tibet, near the India-China border. These locations are strategically close to Indian territories such as Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. The deployment reflects China's enhanced military infrastructure and growing air power presence along the Line of Actual Control, while India has yet to induct its own stealth fighters, indicating a capability gap in the region's air balance.
