India has already deployed basic BrahMos missiles and a large number of other major weapons at several strategic locations along the Line of Actual Control with China in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. India has test-fired several missiles including the anti-radiation missile called Rudram-1 in the last two and a half months. Rudram is planned to be inducted by 2022.
