Overview

  • Lt Gen Rahul R Singh disclosed that China provided Pakistan with real-time intelligence during Operation Sindoor and used the conflict to test its weapons against Indian systems.
  • He noted that roughly 81% of Pakistan’s military hardware originates from China, underlining Beijing’s strategic footprint in the conflict.
  • Turkey supplied Bayraktar and other drones with support personnel to Pakistan, marking a significant escalation in Ankara’s involvement.
  • The disclosures have highlighted a three-adversary challenge on a single border and exposed critical gaps in India’s air defence posture.
  • Indian authorities are fact-checking foreign propaganda claims, fast-tracking capability development and planning a layered air defence network to address the revealed vulnerabilities.
