On December 28, 2025, reports revealed that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is advancing its AI-driven military logistics through the Joint Logistic Support Force to enhance operational capabilities near India’s borders. This system features real-time tracking via smart depots and multi-domain sensing, optimizing resource allocation for high-altitude exercises. The integration of civilian logistics firms and technologies such as drones and automated supply apps indicates a significant enhancement in PLA sustainment capabilities, potentially increasing risks for Indian defenses along the Line of Actual Control. This development underscores the PLA’s commitment to improving logistics and resilience, particularly amid ongoing tensions related to Taiwan, raising concerns about the strategic balance in the region.
