Beijing is back to its mind games at border. Days after talks with India, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) carried out a military exercise with attack helicopters over Pangong Lake.

The video shows the army aviation brigade attached to the PLA Xinjiang Military Command carrying out an exercise over the world’s highest saltwater lake, Pangong Lake, at an altitude of almost 4,350 metres. China’s state media reported that Z-10 attack helicopters joined the drills for the first time, unlike the past when only transport helicopters carried border defence troops for patrol missions.
