China`s People`s Liberation Army`s (PLA) conducted military exercises in an unknown location to "strike awe in India". Global Times made sure to mention that the drills were conducted "amid tensions in Doklam" to "lay the ground for plateau warfare". More than 10 PLA units from the `western theater command` participated in the drills. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is closest to India, is where the `western theater command` is most prominent. The units included aviation and armoured forces. The Chinese TV station reportedly aired a five-minute-long video that showed tanks firing at targets on hills and helicopters firing missiles at ground targets. Similar drills were conducted in July in Tibet. The brigade that conducted the drills was from the PLA`s Tibet Military Command and is one of China`s two plateau mountain brigades. PLA troops violated the border into Doklam in Bhutan on June 16 when they began construction of a road in violation of a 2012 agreement. Indian troops stopped the road construction. China claimed that they were constructing the road within their territory and has been demanding immediate pull-out of the Indian troops from the disputed Doklam plateau.
