Recent satellite imagery suggests that China likely moved its Combined Arms Brigade (CAB) from the Lampug clash site to Ritang in Lhantse Dzong shortly after the Arunachal clashes. This reflects a broader trend in the Indo-Tibetan border area, where there's an increased deployment of PLA assets compared to the pre-Galwan clash period. The construction of a dual-use airport in Lhantse Dzong, closer to the McMahon Line and Tawang, is altering the status quo in the region. Observers, like Nature Desai, point out that China appears to be enhancing its force deployment along the Tibet-Arunachal Pradesh border to gain an advantage in infrastructure and logistics over India.
