Hyderabad, Nov 22 (PMINEWS) The dragon nation, China, has repeatedly shown its strategic maneuvering against India, always seeking ways to put the country in difficult situations. Recently, during the conflict between India and Pakistan, known as Operation Sindoor, both nations were engaged in hostilities but later reached a ceasefire agreement.
However, according to a recent report by a US congressional panel, China reportedly used the India-Pakistan clash as an opportunity to test its new military hardware. The panel revealed that Beijing turned the four-day skirmish into a live testing ground to evaluate the range and effectiveness of its newly developed weapons systems.
Details from the US Report:
China supplied Pakistan with newly developed and modernized military equipment, including:
-
HQ-9 air defense systems
-
PL-15 air-to-air missiles are capable of striking targets at long ranges
-
J-10 fighter jets
These weapons were deployed by Pakistan during the conflict, allowing China to assess their operational performance under real combat conditions.
Furthermore, the report noted that in June 2025, China offered to sell Pakistan:
-
40 J-35 fifth-generation fighter jets
-
KJ-500 airborne early warning aircraft
-
Ballistic missile defense systems
This strategy allows China not only to profit from arms sales but also to conveniently test and evaluate the performance of its new weapons systems in real conflict scenarios. (pressmediaofindia.com)
