BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:00 P.M.) – New satellite images that were obtained by India’s New Delhi Television (NDTV) station showed the Chinese military dramatically increasing their Ngari Gunsa Airbase in the western region of Tibet near the Indian border. According to the NDTV report, the satellite images show major construction being done at this base, which is located just 130 miles away from Pangong Lake, the same area where the Chinese and Indian forces clashed earlier this month. The first image that was posted by NDTV, dated April 6th, 2020, showed a new airstrip with a single, small terminal area. Meanwhile, the second photo, which was taken on May 21st, 2020, showed that the base’s size had been doubled, with either a new taxiway or a second tarmac. #China Expands 'Ngari Gunsa' Airbase Near #Ladakh (just 200 kilometres away from the #Pangong Lake), J-16 Fighter Jets On Tarmac. pic.twitter.com/5pQAkv8AJd — IDU (@defencealerts) May 26, 2020
