520			_aApplication of airpower in mountainous regions presents both opportunities and challenges in elevated terrain providing a natural advantage for surveillance, radar installations, and communication lines while posing significant disadvantages in terms of airpower employment such as low aircraft performance, inhospitable terrain, extreme weather, and limited infrastructure. India shares lengthy borders with China and Pakistan and the epicentre of its constrained international relations with these countries lies along these shared borders. To deter any hostile engagement from either neighbour, the sustained presence of troops along the borders is imperative. Transport operations in the mountains along the northern border significantly improve the deterrent capability of armed forces by applying the requisite airpower. This article highlights the importance of tactical transport operations along the northern borders. – Reproduced https://www.usiofindia.org/pdf/20241129145910.pdf
