ITBP Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) guards a 3,488 km border, from Karakoram Pass to Jachep La. Reports say it plans to buy new Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles to move troops faster along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The ITBP plans to buy about two dozen Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles, according to Aaj Tak and Bozok reports. Reports say the plan comes amid a face-off with China in Arunachal Pradesh, as reported by Aaj Tak.
Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles are armoured vehicles that forces use to move troops quickly.
The plan is reported, not confirmed. Check official ITBP and Ministry of Home Affairs notices for the procurement status. For winter conditions on Himalayan roads, see our Kashmir sub-zero winter protocols.
