'One Border, Three Adversaries': China Was Providing Real-Time Intelligence To Pakistan During Op Sindoor, Says Top Indian Army Official

Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Capability Development & Sustenance), disclosed today (4 July) that China has been providing real-time intelligence to Pakistan during India's Operation Sindoor.

Speaking at the FICCI event 'New Age Military Technologies', Lt Gen Singh stated, "When DGMO-level talks were on, Pakistan had the live updates of our important vectors, from China... so that is one place we really need to move fast and take appropriate action."

Lt Gen Singh also emphasised the strategic importance of air defense, noting, "Air defence and how it panned out during the entire operation was important... This time, our population centres were not quite addressed, but next time, we need to be prepared for that."

He highlighted the complexity of the situation, describing it as dealing with "one border and two adversaries, actually three," with Pakistan's actions being supported by China, which supplies 81 per cent of Pakistan's military hardware.

Additionally, Lt Gen Singh mentioned Turkey's role, stating, "Turkey also played an important role in providing the type of support it did."

This revelation underscores the multifaceted challenges India faces, with China not only arming Pakistan but also using the conflict as a testing ground for its military technology.
