IAF inducts second Sukhoi-SU30 combat jets in northeast

Chabua (Assam): The Indian Air Force inducted a second squadron of its frontline Sukhoi-SU30 combat jets in the northeast on Monday.

This was part of a strategic deployment of advanced assets close to the Chinese border. A single Su-30 has presently been stationed at the Chabua air base, about 450 km east of Assam's main city of Guwahati, with the strength of the squadron gradually being raised to 18 aircraft.

As part of the formal induction, the fighter jet staged an impressive flypast.

Arunachal Pradesh shares a 1,030-km unfenced border with China. This frontier is defined by the McMahon Line, a notional boundary that is now known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). China has never recognised the McMahon Line, and claims 90,000 sq km or almost all of Arunachal Pradesh. India also accuses China of occupying 8,000 sq km in Kashmir.
