The complex is well-fortified and includes hardened shelters with
blast doors, garages, ammunition bunkers, administrative and support
areas. It is believed to have been constructed in August 2014.
According to experts, a missile base close to the border indicates that deployment of ‘low yield’ nuclear weapons could be employed to counter an Indian onslaught. The brief flight time of short range missiles makes them difficult to combat.
