Indian Army Deploys Tanks, Infantry Vehicles Capable Of Operating At Minus 40 Degrees Along LAC With China

The Indian Army has deployed its T-90 and T-72 tanks along BMP-2 Infantry Combat Vehicles along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China amid tensions between the two nations, reports ANI.

These combat vehicles are capable of operating in temperatures up to minus 40 degree Celsius and assume significance amid the onset of winter in the region.

ANI also shared a few authorised pictures of these combat vehicles which have been deployed in the Chumar-Demchok sector.

Here is a video of Indian Army deployment. This combat equipment is manned by the Fire and Fury Corps which is the only formation in the world to have deployed mechanised forces in such a harsh terrain.

It was earlier reported that the Indian Army has been provided with all-weather accommodation and multi-layered clothing in Ladakh for safety in the harsh winter.

Even the tents provided to the Indian Army troops consist of heaters, waterproof covers on the outside, and of an inside layer made of quilt to maintain warmth. Solar panels have been installed in the tents to provide electricity to the troops. These equipment will look after the well-being of the soldiers even in temperatures up to -50 degrees.
