India’s Deputy Army Chief Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai has spotlighted a growing “Pakistan–China nexus” during Operation Sindoor, underlining China’s deep military backing for Islamabad. He noted the use of Chinese-made weaponry—J‑10C fighter jets, PL‑15 missiles, HQ‑9 air‑defence systems and UCAVs—during Pakistan’s response to India’s precision strikes on terror camps post‑Pahalgam attack. While Chinese military aid boosted Pakistan’s capabilities, Indian forces effectively bypassed these defences using BrahMos missiles and indigenous systems. China has vehemently denied transporting arms via Y‑20 cargo planes or its jets' involvement. Meanwhile, Pakistan confirmed ongoing intelligence cooperation with China. The exchange underscores escalating regional tensions and the strategic implications of Beijing’s defence partnership with Islamabad.
