As India-China Tensions Grow, Here Are The Eight Defence Deals India Should Look To Conclude In 2021

In 2020, even as the Covid-19 pandemic raged, the People’s Liberation Army’s large-scale mobilisation and provocative manoeuvres along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) led to the deadliest clashes between India and China in over four decades. What followed was an ad hoc response — emergency procurement of weapon systems required to deal with China’s belligerence. This wasn’t new — India has responded to almost every military crisis in the recent past in similar fashion.

But faced with a qualitatively new China challenge, one that is likely to remain even if the current crisis in Ladakh ends with a negotiated solution, India can’t depend on ad hoc responses.

One of the many things it needs to do to deal with this military challenge is to move towards concluding these eight defence deals in 2021.
