Exclusive: Night-time satellite images show Chinese buildup in Depsang

Night-time satellite images have revealed the Chinese buildup in the Depsang region near the Line of Actual Control.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images of a permanent Chinese post, generated by illuminating radio waves during the night, provide glimpses of the Chinese buildup near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Situated at a distance of about 24 km opposite India’s highest airstrip Daulet Beg Oldie (DBO) in Ladakh, PLA’s Tianwendian post is an all-season post in Aksai Chin. The post was established after the 1962 war and has seen consistent upgrades over the past few years.
