China Provided Satellite Support to Pakistan During Recent Clashes
Last year, when India and Pakistan clashed, China gave Pakistan support with satellites and air defense.
After India and Pakistan engaged in recent military action, it has been reported that China was very supportive of Pakistan’s military forces. As part of this equip, Chinese involvement included using satellites, restructuring radar systems and improving air defense which was more significant than acknowledged earlier.
Assistance from China
CENJOWS, affiliated with India’s Ministry of Defence, states that China supported Pakistan in updating its radar and air defense systems to identify moving Indian troops and weapons. Following the attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 Indian visitors, China aided Pakistan in changing its surveillance of Indian borders. Thanks to this aid, Pakistan kept better watch on the actions of the Indian military before the crisis.
The Chinese Military uses advanced technologies for its equipment.
During the fighting, Pakistan utilized J-10C fighter planes and PL-15 missiles which are Chinese weapons and had never been used in actual combat before. The Chinese were able to test their equipment against Indian forces and Western-made weapons at the Sino-Indian border.
Whereas it is being suggested that India’s Rafale was shot down by a Pakistani J-10C fighter jet, this still needs to be verified officially by concerned countries. However, Chinese media has highlighted this event to prove how strong its military technology is.
Implications for the Safety of the Region
The fact that China supported Pakistan in the conflict reflects how much their strategy has improved. With this collaboration, there is a greater risk of rising geopolitical tension in South Asia, mainly due to the India-China-Pakistan relationship.
Moreover, China gets important information and opportunities to sell weapons around the world when Pakistan uses its gear. Analysts think that China considers Pakistan a useful testbed for new weapons, because it does not need to fight any battles directly.
Conclusion
The latest skirmish between India and Pakistan has shown that China helps Pakistan by watching their skies with satellites and distributing advanced equipment. It demonstrates how China-Pakistan defense ties are improving and points to effects on the region and the global arms market as well
