China Deploys Fighter Jets at Sikkim Border

China has deployed multiple advanced J-20 fighter jets just 150 kilometers from Sikkim. These aircraft are very small in size and difficult to detect by radar, unless the radar is highly powerful and the distance is not too great. Geopolitical analysis organization All Source Analysis recently released satellite images showing the deployment of these advanced fighter jets at a Chinese airbase near the Indian border in Sikkim. According to a report by NTV on Friday, in addition to J-20 fighter jets, multiple J-10 fighter jets and a KJ-500 aircraft were also visible in the images.

By analyzing several satellite images, it has been determined that the fighter jets arrived at the location on May 27. Earlier, a cargo plane was also spotted at China's Shigatse airbase. All Source Analysis speculates that the necessary equipment and supplies for the stationed airmen were delivered via this cargo plane. The J-20 fighter jets are not permanently stationed at this airbase near the Sikkim border, raising questions about the sudden need to bring six advanced fighter jets to the base.
