Despite the agreements between Beijing and New Delhi signed on September 14 in order to lower the tension in the Himalayan region of Ladakh, nothing has indicated until now that the forces present have, in any way whatsoever, lightened their devices or their operational postures. On the contrary ! To respond to the latest Chinese public statements, the Indian Air Force has decided to stage its latest acquisition, the combat aircraft Rafale qui, arrived in the country less than 2 months ago, has already started flights over this potentially explosive theater.
The appropriate speeches which framed the signing of the agreements to reduce tensions in the Himalayan zone of Ladakh will therefore not have had any notable effects beyond a few days. If the forces deployed on both sides of the demarcation line have indeed carried out less aggressive redeployments, on a regional scale, the military reinforcement continues, both for India and for China. And as until now, public declarations, postures and official communications still play a preponderant role in the quiet confrontation taking place on the roof of the world.
