At present, China and India are still engaged in a very tense confrontation in the border area. The only thing that the Indians can use to carry out field battles with air defense is their self-developed "Akash" air defense system. Project development began in the 1980s, and it was not officially put into service until 2018. It was born out of the Sam-6 air defense missile during the Soviet era. In the face of Chinese drones, India can only use this anti-aircraft missile to reluctantly countermeasures. However, China can use drones to monitor Indian positions 24 hours a day, but India cannot turn on its own air defense missile radar 24 hours a day.
On November 23rd, China dispatched a large number of surveillance drones to “raid” India’s actual control area in the area of Pangong Lake. Although these drones did not cross the actual control line of both sides, they did It brought great psychological shock to India. According to unconfirmed information, China has dispatched at least 50 drones of various kinds at a time, densely covering the sky. In addition to drones that can mount precision-guided bombs and conduct ground attacks, there are also long-endurance drones that are specifically used for high-altitude reconnaissance. The main unmanned aerial vehicle in India is the "heron" imported from Israel. Its flight speed, mount capacity or combat radius are far inferior to similar products in China.
It is also worth mentioning that the number of drones that Indians can use is quite small, and they are not willing to send these baby bumps to the plateau, because the thin air in the plateau will reduce their flight performance. There have been accidents in which an Indian drone crashed in the border area. Some analysts said that China can keep the Indian army passive at all times by just using drones. What's more, it is a difficult problem for the Indian army to survive the winter safely, let alone engage in military confrontation.
"Hindustan Daily" reported on November 21 that the Indian army began to withdraw some soldiers from the south bank of Pangong Lake, while tanks and other heavy weapons were also withdrawn. This is obviously agreed by Modi. It is reported that India’s economy is too poor to withstand the huge logistical pressure; it is also unable to buy enough cold-resistant clothing and other highland combat supplies. The West cannot produce India if there is no way. There is too much difference in weapons such as drones. The Indian army withdrew. Although many Indian media clamored to fight to the end with China all day long, the high level of India still has some brains.
