'Aksai Chin' has been used by GoI since the early 50s. Nothing wrong with the term.
Because the GOI accepted it.

The Ladakhis call it east Ladakh even today.

I think what the locals call it is more important.

India is going to buy more C130J Super Hercules aircraft from Americans. Any latest news?

The air strip needs to hardened to operate fighter planes, rest of the infrastructure including fencing, manning and all weather abilities to run it are must. I hope it is not one off tactical show off like they did when started this air strip a year or two back.

BTW it looks like special forces are visiting DOB for future deployments.

I would rather be happy when they will start dumping cement, stones and small cranes etc.

At the side of the runway... It looks like air defence ..what are those?
either it is two bricks put together or they have small box with light and battery to be switch on manually or are connected with one another to turn on in on go or turn off in one go.

something like this



but just two lines only.

The one on the runway is the C-130j. The one on the sky is most probably the An-32 accompanying and documenting the landing which took the video in Post 25

The things in a line are landing strip markers to highlight it against the similar colored surroundings.

GoI accepted what? Please elaborate.
It was your quote actually. Forgot to put the quotes properly.

You said GOI accepted being called Aksai Chin and never pursued the dispute aggressively with China.

However, I wanted to tell that Ladakhis still call it as eastern Ladakh. :)
