India's Military Operations: Insights on Pakistan's Intelligence Support from China
Pakistan's Intelligence Support During Operation Sindoor
On Friday, a senior officer from the Indian Army revealed that Pakistan was receiving real-time intelligence from China regarding India's significant military movements during Operation Sindoor.
Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, who serves as the deputy Army chief for capability development and sustenance, made these remarks at an event hosted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
According to reports, Singh stated, “During the DGMO-level discussions, Pakistan indicated that they were aware of our critical military assets being prepared for action, requesting us to possibly withdraw them. This information was being relayed live from China.”
He emphasized the urgency for India to act swiftly in response to these developments.
Singh noted that during the four-day conflict, India faced three adversaries: Pakistan at the forefront, China providing substantial support, and Turkey contributing drones and trained personnel.
He highlighted that in the past five years, 81% of Pakistan's military equipment has originated from China, allowing them to test their weaponry against various systems, effectively creating a live testing environment.
Furthermore, Singh stressed the importance of preparing for potential future attacks on civilian areas and underscored the necessity of enhancing air defense capabilities.

Relations between India and Pakistan intensified on May 7 when the Indian military executed strikes, known as Operation Sindoor, targeting what it identified as terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
This military action was a direct response to a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals on April 22.
In retaliation, the Pakistan Army engaged in shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the deaths of at least 22 Indian civilians and eight defense personnel.
On May 10, both nations reached an agreement to cease hostilities following the four-day conflict.
