Infantry Combat Vehicles including T-90 and T-72 tanks have been deployed near LAC in the Chumar-Domechok area amid continuing tension with China.

Their specialty is that they are capable of operating at temperatures up to minus 40 degrees Celsius near the Line of Control.

Speaking to the leading media agency, Chief of Staff of the 14 Corps Major General A Ravind Kapoor stated that the ‘Fire and Fury Corps’ is the only formation of the Indian Army that has deployed mechanized forces in such harsh areas.

Maintaining tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and heavy guns is a challenge in this area. Today all our logistic preparations are sufficient to ensure the preparation of crew and equipment.

We have sufficient quantities of ration, fuel, oil, clothes, heating appliances with more calories, and nutrition. Currently, the Army is using 3 types of fuels for these vehicles to ensure that fuel does not freeze during harsh winters.
