Dharamshala, 18th January: Hundreds of autonomous vehicles capable of delivering both weaponry and supplies have been transported to Tibet, according to Indian media sources, with the majority being deployed in border regions where Chinese troops are involved in a standoff with Indian troops.

Two vehicles are the Sharp Claw, which can be controlled wirelessly and is armed with a light machinegun, and the Mule-200, which is designed to be an unmanned delivery truck but can also be armed.

China is now supplying troops with unmanned MUL-200 vehicles, as well as weaponry.

A total of 120-200 mules have been despatched to Tibet, with the majority of them stationed near the border.

In addition to unmanned vehicles, China has delivered 70 VP-22 armored military vehicles.

Seventy-seven of these are near the border. To the border, 150 Lynx all-terrain vehicles have been despatched. The Lynx is used by a variety of armies, and it is frequently used to transport troops.

It’s also where you’ll find howitzers, heavy machine guns, mortars, and missile launchers, among other weapons.

The region, which is arid, remote, and mostly unpleasant, has little practical use beyond a few trade routes that crisscross its deserts, but it has symbolic value for both parties wanting to assert dominance.

Tensions grew in 2020 when Chinese and Indian troops clashed hand-to-hand, with many people killed in conflicts fought with melee weapons like nail-studded clubs.
