Pakistan has claimed that China-made weapons performed “exceptionally well” during the four-day war with India. The latest claim was made by the Director General of ISPR, General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhryin an interview with Bloomberg.
The claims of General Chaudhary come despite evidence that China’s ace PL-15 missile got shredded while India-made weapons delivered killer punch during Operation Sindoor.
“We are open to all sorts of technology,” Chaudhry told Bloomberg in an interview last week in Islamabad. “Of course lately, recent Chinese platforms, they’ve demonstrated exceptionally well,” Bloomberg quoted Chaudhry as saying, in reference to the war in May.
Pakistan, despite begging for a ceasefire and watching its critical defence infrastructure being hit, went to town claiming victory. Chaudhary’s recent claim is part of a series.
These claims come despite India having turned several Pakistani airstrips into cheese blocks, punching holes through precision strikes. India also called out Pakistan’s nuclear bluff and demonstrated its ability for nuclear decapitation.
The four-day India-Pakistan war in May saw the first major use of modern Chinese-made weapons, including PL-15 missiles and HQ-9P ground-to-air missiles and JF-17 and J-10 fighter jets.
However, these were turned into duds by India’s aerial defence, which featured a significant share of indigenous weapons.
Whether it was the BrahMos supersonic missile or the Akashteer air defence system, the effectiveness of indigenous weapons was a standout feature of Operation Sindoor.
