Description
Description | The project involves the revival of the British-era Lalmonirhat airbase near the Indian border in Bangladesh with Chinese assistance. The airbase is situated about 20 km from the Indian border, close to the Siliguri Corridor, a narrow land bridge connecting Northeast India to the mainland. The revival aims to enhance China's ability to conduct aerial surveillance and reconnaissance on Indian military installations and critical infrastructure in the region. The airbase currently hosts a Bangladesh Air Force care and maintenance unit and may be used for future aircraft deployments or training missions. The project is part of deepening military ties between China and Bangladesh, with China being a major arms supplier and infrastructure partner to Bangladesh. |
