The Indian Air Force (IAF) is strengthening its air defence in Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) by putting in place special radars. Western Air Command (WAC) chief Air Marshal N A K Browne told reporters in New Dehli today that different types of radars would be put in place along the 667-km LAC, the air defence of which is WAC's responsibility. The Air Force is keenly examining the option of special type of radars, which we call the mountain radars and we are also looking at Low Level Light Weight Radars (LLLWR). So there is a definite plan, Browne said to a question on the future air defence systems along the LAC. Senior analyst Hassan Askari while talking to Dunya News said that purpose of this statement before the meetings of foreign secretaries and foreign ministers of both the countries was to put pressure on Pakistan. He said, It seems India is less interested in the talks so for it issues this kind of statement.
