India and China share a roughly 3,500-kilometer-long border. Since the Sino-Indian border war of 1962, its partly unclear location has repeatedly caused conflicts. This month, border troops from both countries clashed in the Arunachal Pradesh region. Fortunately, there were no casualties – at an altitude of 5,000 meters, the soldiers of the two nuclear powers fought almost archaically. In order to prevent a drastic escalation, they are mostly equipped only with clubs.
