Besides deployment of Nirbhay missiles, Indian troops on the ground have been felicitated with tanks and combat vehicles so as to operate in harsh winters.
India has its T-90 and T-72 tanks along with the BMP-2 Infantry Combat Vehicles, which can operate at temperatures up to minus 40 degree Celsius against the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s deployment of armoured columns.
The army is logistically prepared in terms of tackling the harsh weather with special winter clothing and other facilities such as fuel, spares and assemblies in place, India Today quoted Major General Arvind Kapoor as saying.
