NEW DELHI -- India anticipates a long-term standoff on its de facto mountain border with China and plans to deploy new patrol boats and military aircraft as well as more ammunition to the front lines.
The Indian military will bring 12 larger, faster patrol boats to a lake in Ladakh by May, local media report, and add five days worth of weaponry and ammo to its 10-day stockpile there. The deployment is described as an attempt to counter Chinese boats on the lake.
