Commercial satellite images have shown that China has deployed at least 12 J-20 stealth fighter jets at two airbases near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India. Images captured by Vantor show 8 J-20 "Mighty Dragon" aircraft at Hotan airbase in Xinjiang and 4 more at Damxung airbase in Tibet. Defence sources said the deployment reflects China's growing military presence along the border rather than a temporary move. The development comes as India continues to strengthen its border defences, while tensions between the two countries remain despite ongoing military and diplomatic talks since the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
