India and Armenia are set to enhance military collaboration through joint training for Armenia’s Special Forces in high-altitude combat, facilitated by India’s High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) in Jammu & Kashmir. This initiative, alongside Armenia’s procurement of Indian loitering munitions, aims to bolster Armenia’s military capabilities, particularly against regional threats from the Azerbaijani-Turkish- Pakistani axis. The training will foster interoperability between Indian and Armenian forces and diversify Armenia’s military partnerships amid strained relations with Russia. For India, this partnership strengthens its strategic presence in the South Caucasus, countering adversarial influences and enhancing regional security dynamics.

With India deploying additional troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) amid tense situation, the Indian Army will be placing emergency orders for extreme cold weather tents for soldiers in eastern Ladakh.

“We are going to place orders for extreme cold weather tents for our troops deployed in the eastern Ladakh sector,” top army sources said.

The tents will be provided to troops at the earliest possible timeframe, the source said.

The Indian Army is looking at both European and Indian markets for extreme weather tents, sources added.

The water level in the Galwan river has increased in the last few days. Along with tents, the Indian Army has also felt a need to provide specialised waterproof clothing to soldiers.

The Chinese side, meanwhile, is already equipped to deal with harsh conditions. The source said the combat dress of the Chinese troops allows them to step into the water, if required.

The specialised combat dress of the Chinese soldiers could have also helped them avoid hypothermia-related casualties after the bloody June-15 violent face-off.
