India has also been alerted about Bangladesh and China amid tension with Pakistan. The Indian Army has deployed the Russia-made S-400 missile defense system in the Siliguri Corridor. This corridor is also known as chicken neck. It is only 20-22 km wide and is the only corridor connecting North East to India. Along with the S-400, a squadron of Rafael Fighter Jet has also been deployed on Hashimara Airbase.
The deployment of S-400 and Rafael in this most important area of India is important in many ways, as it is adjacent to the borders of China, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh. The Russian S-400 and Rafale fighter jet capable of preventing air threats from 400 km away has been tasked with the protection of this important corridor amid growing stress.
Mohammad Yunus is in the court of China and Pakistan
According to The Asia Live report, the recent practice of Chinese troops near the borders of India, China and Bhutan has further increased the concerns of New Delhi. Apart from this, the rapid changing developments in Bangladesh have also made India think. The interim government led by Mohammad Yunus is seen in favor of China and Pakistan, which has changed the strategic balance in the eastern region of India.
Indian authorities have issued a warning to Dhaka citing SOP, which restrictions unmanned aerial vehicles within 10 kilometers of the international border. Aerial surveillance on the entire eastern border has been tightened.
Bangladesh wants to achieve 32 JF-17 Thunder Fighter Jet Aircraft
India’s concerns have increased after those reports that Bangladesh intends to acquire 32 JF-17 Thunder fighter jets. These fighter jets are equipped with Chinese AESA radar, electronic war pod and missiles beyond the visual-limit. A squadron of these fighter aircraft located in northern Bangladesh can directly danger the Indian airbase and significant infrastructure.
Tension has increased further since the Dhaka visits of a delegation of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). A four -day visit led by Major General Shahid Aamir Asafar allegedly shared intelligence and anti -terrorism campaigns.
India closely monitored on rapidly changing developments
Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said that we are closely monitoring all developments in the area. The Government of India will take decisive action if needed. It is one of the most obvious public indications ever that India considers recent developments in Bangladesh not only a diplomatic problem but also a big threat to national security.
To counter this emerging danger, the Indian Armed Forces have moved to the principle of multi -zone detention. This includes ISR integration in real time, cyber and electronic war capabilities and increased solidarity between the Army, Navy and Air Force. Apart from this, India has intensified the fortification of major roads, tunnels and rail connectivity in the Siliguri Corridor to ensure rapid military movement in the situation of struggle.
India’s decision to deploy S-400 and Rafale fighter jet in Siliguri Corridor is not just a strategic maneuver but it is a strategic announcement. New Delhi is drawing a red line in the region affected by alliances, pseudo -maneuvers and technical war. India will respond to any adventure from the north or from the east with full force regarding the safety of this corridor.
