The military exercise is viewed to be a test dose aimed at a future attack in India, before which the mettle of the Chinese defense and the preparations to be made have to be identified and fortified. Army deployment, weapon transportation, cooperation with the locals were the things tested during the exercise which happened clandestinely on Tuesday.
