China's army conduct military drills near doklam area where tension are higher than ever. These drills are said to threaten India after their soldiers caught trespassing in china's territory.

The china's national channel released The five-minute-long video showed tanks firing at targets on hills, followed by helicopters firing missiles at ground targets.

The report did not mention the location of the exercises, only saying the drills "lay the ground for plateau warfare.

The Lianhe Zaobao newspaper on Friday quoted analysts as saying such Chinese PLA military exercises are meant to "strike awe in India," as the two sides have been engaged in a standoff in Doklam for more than two months, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is closest to India, is where the Western Theater Command is most prominent.

In July, one of PLA's two plateau mountain brigades conducted live-fire drills in Tibet. The drills included the quick arrival of troops and different military units working together on joint attacks.
