Here come the illiterate political dodos recycling old videos and lies.
The reality is that there's a region of contention between the red line (traditional boundary & the watershed) vs. the yellow line (official McMahon & SoI map).
PLA troops currently built a road reaching Hadigara Dakhru (Pass) from their side & occassionally patrol till the yellow line from it. The Indian side also occassionally patrols from the yellow line to the red line.
Such disingenous lies and painting it all as a vague "Arunachal captured" is what is abhorrent & sadly also sells among social media experts. Instead, one could genuinely talk about how it is imperative to stop China from exploiting loopholes.
But sadly, political discourse in this country is absolute trash. It's either hide everything or spread absolute lies.
अरुणाचल प्रदेश से BJP के MP Tapir Gao भी सालों पहले कह रहे थे! सुनिए👇🏻
"...माननीय स्पीकर सर, कहीं और डोकलाम होगा! ये अरुणाचल प्रदेश में डोकलाम होगा इसलिए आज मोर देन 50-60 किमी चाइना हमारा टेरिटरी में कब्जा करके रखा है..."
"...इंडियन टेरिटरी को अरुणाचल में चाइना कब्जा करता है, उसका कहीं प्रिंट मीडिया में, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक मीडिया में कोई कमेंट नहीं है।..."
"...दूसरा कहीं डोकलाम होगा तो अरुणाचल प्रदेश में होगा, वो दिन आने मत दीजिए।..."

Meet Major Mouiz Yaseen, from #India 🇮🇳, who served as Force Ombudsperson & Welfare Officer with the @unmissmedia 🇸🇸. For her, creating a safer environment for peacekeepers starts with making sure everyone can speak up, be heard and seek support without fear.

#WATCH | Dundigal, Telangana: Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh says, "It was really a dream come true. I started my journey with the same aircraft. I think I must be the only chief who's retiring while the basic aircraft he flew is still serving. So I think I'm very grateful. I'm very grateful to my instructor, VS Kochhar sir, who taught me flying in the beginning in this place itself. So I just wanted the circle to be complete. And I did my first sortie on 28th January, way back in 1984, in this very place with him, and today I did my last sortie in uniform with him in the same aircraft..."
#WATCH | Dundigal, Telangana | Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh flew a sortie with his instructor in the Air Force, Wing Commander VS Kochhar (Retd), in a Kiran aircraft. This is going to be the last sortie of the outgoing Air Chief in the service. Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit is going to succeed him as the Chief of Air Staff on October 31.

Indian Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh flew his final IAF sortie today alongside the man who taught him to fly 42 years ago.
In the photo is the chief sharing the cockpit of an HJT-16 Kiran trainer with Wg Cdr VS Kochar (Retd), his very first instructor. #IAF
CAS Air Chief Marshal AP Singh flew his final IAF sortie at the prestigious Air Force Academy, Dundigal, in the Kiran Mk-1 (U 707) alongside his first instructor, Wg Cdr V.S. Kochar (Retd). From 28 Jan 1984 to today, a journey come full circle🇮🇳.
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, today completed his final flying sortie in an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft, flying the HJT-16 Kiran Mk-1 trainer aircraft and bringing a memorable chapter of his flying career to a close.
The 55 minute sortie was particularly special as the CAS flew with his first flying instructor, Wing Commander V. S. Kochar (Retd), in aircraft bearing tail number U 707. The occasion marked a poignant reunion between instructor and student, reconnecting the CAS with the beginnings of his flying journey in the Indian Air Force.
The CAS undertook his first-ever flying sortie on 28 January 1984. More than four decades later, today's sortie in the Kiran brought his flying journey in the IAF full circle, symbolising the enduring bond between a pilot, his instructor and the skies that shape professional life.
The presence of Wg Cdr V. S. Kochar (Retd), who had guided the CAS during his earliest flying days, made the occasion especially meaningful, bringing together memories of the CAS's first flight and the culmination of his flying journey in IAF aircraft.
With this sortie, the CAS concluded a distinguished chapter of flying, carrying forward the experience, discipline and commitment that have defined his association with the Indian Air Force: Indian Air Force

Eagerly waiting for first flight and the subsequent trials @HALHQBLR 🤞.

Honestly CATS is very much achievable. For the IAF it makes more sense than any 5th gen import right now, it is built here, easy to plug into our own networked setup. It can loiter relatively deeper into enemy's S2A/A2A envelopes and engage the enemy with an element of surprise.
