China is building six new air bases along the Himalayan border. These new bases are likely to challenge India's defense, satellite images show new aprons, engine test pads and other infrastructure.
Beijing: Neighboring country China is set to build six new air bases. China, which is set to increase its air power, is likely to challenge India's defense along the Himalayan border.
A satellite image of the new air bases that China is planning to set up has been released. It shows the new apron site, engine test pads, other structures, as well as asphalt roads, which are a key element of China's air base. The satellite image shows the new air bases at Tingri, Lungze, Burang, Yutian and Yarkant. The Indian Air Force has responded to this by saying, "We have our own procedures and we are vigilant."
China rejects American Boeing aircraft for India?
China, which has entered a direct tariff war with the United States, has canceled the order for Boeing aircraft it had placed earlier. At this time, India seems to be taking advantage of this.
This development comes after the Chinese government instructed airlines not to buy American-made Boeing aircraft. Following this, sources said that Air India has decided to buy 41 737 Max jets manufactured for China. Similarly, Malaysian airline Bhd is also reportedly in talks with Boeing to buy the jets.
ISRO satellite docking successful for the 2nd time
ISRO has successfully completed the docking of the Spadex satellites, which was considered a major milestone in the field of space.

As part of the Space Docking Experiment (SPADEX), ISRO launched the SDX01 and SDX02 satellites on December 30, 2024. They were docked (joined together) on January 16 this year. Later, undocking (separation) was also successfully completed on March 13. With this, India became the 4th country after America, Russia and China to have mastered the art of docking.
This experiment will be useful for the construction of the Indian Space Center, including sending astronauts to the lunar surface, collecting samples from there, etc.
China develops tailless jet!
China, which is continuing its efforts to gain air supremacy by beating the US, has secretly developed tailless and 3-engine advanced aircraft. 2 videos of the flight have now gone viral. Of these, the tailless aircraft called Jet J-36 flew over Chengdu on December 26. It was developed by Chengdu Aircraft Corporation. It features a tailless design and a rare three-engine setup.
Another prototype of the aircraft was discovered in northern China on the same day. This jet featured V-shaped wings and twin engines. This aircraft, called the J-50, was built by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The 3-engine setup will increase the aircraft's power and payload capacity. The tailless body will reduce the radar cross section.
