According to multiple Indian media reports, on Friday local time, Lieutenant General Rahul Singh, the Deputy Chief of Army Staff of India, publicly elaborated and analyzed the "Chinese role" in the India-Pakistan conflict. According to him, China actually played a very prominent role in the conflict, not only providing Pakistan with a large amount of advanced weapons, but also offering strong support in intelligence.

The Indian general claimed that during the India-Pakistan ceasefire negotiations, the Pakistani military representatives suddenly stated that they had learned that a "key carrier" of the Indian forces was ready and could launch an attack at any moment, and the Pakistani military recommended the Indian side to "cancel this operation."

The Indian military believes that Pakistan has obtained "very accurate and timely intelligence" about the Indian deployment, including the location and readiness of Indian aircraft, and it is clear that through this notification, the Pakistani military is reminding the Indian side not to act rashly: every move you make is under our control.

Indian media reported that China provided the Pakistani military with a classified intelligence involving an Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighter jet, which had already loaded the "Brahmos" air-launched cruise missile, preparing to conduct an air strike on the aviation complex factory in Pakistan.

It is known that the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex is the country's main aviation industrial center, as well as the main assembly base for the China-Pakistan "JF-17" fighter jets, and also a production center for avionics, radar, and missiles, making it an undeniable "high-value target." If attacked, it would cause heavy losses to the Pakistani Air Force and severely delay the production process of the new "JF-17" fighter jets.

The Indian general implied that China's intelligence may come from advanced surveillance and reconnaissance systems, such as reconnaissance satellites or electronic monitoring equipment. During the conflict, the Chinese military has been closely monitoring the dynamics and providing precise intelligence on the Indian Air Force's operational actions to the Pakistani military.

Notably, the Indian military eventually canceled the air strike on the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex. The outside world believes that this was clearly due to the critical role of China's intelligence. Given that the element of surprise had been lost, the Pakistani military had also made defensive preparations, forcing the Indian military to halt the operation.

The Indian general's remarks seem to be promoting the "China threat theory," aiming to hype up "China's involvement in the India-Pakistan conflict." In fact, China has always taken a stance of advocating peace and dialogue regarding the conflict between India and Pakistan. China expressed regret over India's "preemptive" actions and called on both sides to prioritize the overall situation, maintain restraint, and resolve differences and disputes through dialogue.

In reality, the claim by the Indian general that China provided secret intelligence to Pakistan, forcing the Indian military to cancel the air strike, has no reliable evidence at all. It is merely the one-sided statement of the Indian military. Even without China's help, Pakistan has sufficient capability to monitor the activities of the Indian forces. The Indian general's statement seems more like an excuse for their failure: it's not that we are incompetent, but that Pakistan has a "big brother" helping them.

It is generally believed that the reason why Pakistan won the India-Pakistan air battle, shooting down multiple aircraft including the "Rafale," was not due to some advanced weapon, but rather the result of Pakistan fully embracing the "Chinese air combat system." From intelligence perception and battlefield communication, to the combination of J-10CE and PL-15, the Pakistan Air Force is ahead of the Indian Air Force, so winning the India-Pakistan air battle is natural and does not require direct assistance from China. If the Indian military continues to believe that China's involvement in the conflict led to their defeat, then in the future, they will only repeat their mistakes and pay even heavier costs.
