Rafales' second squadron at Hasimara to counter threats from China

The Indian Air Force plans to raise its second squadron of Rafale fighter jets at Hasimara Air Force base in West Bengal by next month to counter threats from China. Hasimara is a strategic base for IAF operations because of its proximity to Bhutan, the Chumbi Valley where lies a tri-junction between India, Bhutan, and China, and Doklam where a standoff took place in 2017. The tri-junction has been a matter of concern for all three countries.
