China deploys new CSS-5 missiles on border with India

WASHINGTON: China has moved new advanced longer range CSS-5 missiles close to the borders with India and developed contingency plans to shift airborne forces at short notice to the region, according to Pentagon.

Despite increased political and economic relationship between India and China, the Pentagon in a report to the US Congress said, tensions remain along the Sino-India borders with rising instances of border violation and aggressive border patrolling by Chinese soldiers.

However, a senior Defense Departmentofficial told reporters that the US has not observed any anomalous increase in military capabilities along the Sino-India border.

Noting that China continues to maintain its position on what its territorial claim is, the official said, the two capitals - Beijing and New Delhi - have been able to manage this dispute, in a way, using confidence-building measures and diplomatic mechanisms to be able to maintain relative stability in that border area.

"But it's something that China continues to watch; but I wouldn't say that there's anything in this report that demonstrates a spike or an anomalous increase in military capabilities along the border.

"It's something that China's paying very careful attention to. It's obviously something that India is paying careful attention to as well," the Senior Defense Department official said.

In its annual report, the US Defence department said, to improve regional deterrence, the PLA has replaced older liquid-fueled, nuclear capable CCS-3 intermediate range missiles with more advanced and survivable fueled CSS-5 MRBMs.

"China is currently engaged in massive road and rail infrastructure development along the Sino-India border primarily to facilitate economic development in western China: improved roads also support PLA operations," the Pentagon said.

The report presented to the Congress said despite increased political and economic relations over the years between China and India, tensions remain along their shared 4,057 km border, most notably over Arunachal Pradesh, which China asserts as part of Tibet and therefore of China, and over the Aksai Chin region at the western end of the Tibetan Plateau.

"Both countries, in 2009, stepped up efforts to assert their claims. China tried to block a USD 2.9 billion loan to India from the Asian Development Bank, claiming part of the loan would have been used for water projects in Arunachal Pradesh. This represented the first time China sought to influence this dispute through a multilateral institution," the Pentagon said.

To China's south, a senior Indian Air Force official recently disclosed that his government is upgrading another air base near the Chinese border to accommodate warplanes. According to the U.S. Defense News website, "The moves are part of the effort to strengthen India's defenses against China."

In June India approved a $3.3 billion deal to purchase 42 more Su-30 air-to-air and air-to-surface jet fighters, bringing the planned total to 272 by 2018.

Regarding a joint Russian-Indian long-range multirole jet fighter/strike fighter adaptation of the Su-30, the same Indian official said "a nuclear-armed Su-30MKI could fly deep inside China with midair refueling."

Are bhraties aware about this news?? If yes they might be in very alert?
It's known that India lags far behind China on development of a frontier infrastructure.

well the fact is we will not wake till the last minutes

our govt our agency are sleeping and waiting for the last minute
 
Hmmm building roads and trenches on our side of the border is a provocative move towards the peace-loving Chinese..but they deploying long range nuke missiles is self-defence.

gimme a break.

p.s.: Im not faulting the Chinese in any way for this.They r doing for self-defence which they r entitled to.
This is just for the Pakistani and BD members who cry indian provocation at the drop of a hat.

the question is what we are doing well fact is we are lacking as compare to china and govt is just blind

how can our force will fight while we don't have artillery less numbers of planes as compare to china and very bad infrastructure
 
It is a normal scenario as both nations need to secure its borders. And pentagon has to no bussiness in alarming india about it.

my friend told once when doing engineering....
Engineering students work like rockets unless their A$$ is on fire they wont study that's for the last minute prep's for the semester similarly so does our govt..............:cheers::cheers::cheers: to Engineering

Well it is perfectly fine since secure borders means no chance of infiltrating either ways and promoting peace. So you're doing something on your land and we're doing something on ours.

well i know very well same when i was doing my engineering but here is a question for nation

when we guys think for nation and how long our nation can go with our these type of nature

sab baghwan bahrose hai
 
Speaking of missiles, wasn't a similar plan being considered about our Agni-IIIs? To be stationed in Arunachal, Sikkim and Uttarakhand? If we station them in these states, then they can take a complete payload to places of our threats.

I think CSS-5 and Agni-III (including future variants) would be like checkers to each other in the near future.
