TNN 3 December 2009, 03:54am IST
NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday disclosed that Indian airspace has been violated 11 times by aircraft, helicopters and UAVs (unmanned aerial
vehicles) of Pakistan, China and US over the last one year. "In six separate incidents, five UAVs and a fixed-wing medium-sized aircraft from Pakistan violated Indian airspace,'' said defence minister A K Antony in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
In all, Pakistan has violated Indian airspace 43 times since 2006. During the same timeframe, Pakistan Army has violated the ceasefire along the 198-km International Border in J&K, the 778-km Line of Control and the 150-km Actual Ground Position Line in Siachen as many as 128 times. China, in turn, has violated Indian airspace on three occasions. While two helicopters each had entered Ladakh on June 21 and 24, another Chinese aircraft had crossed the border on May 13.
A transport aircraft and a cargo plane from the US also violated Indian airspace in June and October.
