It has been almost two months since the India-Pakistan air battle, but India has still not moved on. On July 4th, a senior Indian officer suddenly turned his attention to us. Lieutenant General Rahul Singh of the Indian Army's Chief of Staff stated that during the Sindoal operation, India must face three opponents, with Pakistan as the "frontline" and China and Turkey providing significant support to India's western neighbors.

In this conflict, India especially expressed dissatisfaction with us. This Indian general stated that China would rather use its neighboring countries to "harm" India than get involved in the conflict on the northern border. This is the Chinese strategy of "using others to kill," and China is using this tactic against India.

General Singh stated that China's involvement is not limited to intelligence sharing. Pakistan heavily relies on Chinese military equipment. If you look at the statistics from the past five years, you will find that 81% of Pakistan's military equipment comes from China. During the conflict, China can test its weapons with other weapons, so it is like a live-fire laboratory for them.

Evidently, according to this Indian general, China is selling weapons to Pakistan to fight India, and also using India as a whetstone to test weapon performance. In short, according to the Indian military, China is targeting India.

From the anger of the Indian military leadership, we can increasingly confirm one thing: our weapons have indeed caused a headache for India. If India had achieved a major victory against Chinese equipment from Pakistan, India would certainly not be complaining or angry, but instead would have completely belittled our weapons.

This also shows that after the May 7th air battle, when India claimed its victory, they gradually started to review the level of their weapons and realized the gap between their weapons and ours.

Certainly, the claim by the Indian military that we are "using others to kill" is obviously absurd. If we were to use others to kill, our approach would be to encourage Pakistan to attack or provoke India, and we would definitely let Pakistan shoot down more Indian aircraft when they have an absolute advantage.

Instead of saying we are using others to kill, it's better to say that India kicked a door and ended up losing both the chicken and the egg. If we are using the India-Pakistan air battle to test our equipment, it's only because India gave us the opportunity.

India accuses Pakistan of purchasing our equipment, but India has never stopped buying equipment from other countries. Take fighter jets, for example, India bought 272 Su-30MKI from Russia, 45 Mig-29Ks. It also purchased 36 Rafale fighter jets from France, and plans to buy 26 Rafale-M carrier-based aircraft.

For early warning aircraft, India imported three Phalcon early warning aircraft from Israel. Moreover, India also bought 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, 15 CH-47F Chinook transport helicopters, 10 C-17s, and 12 C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft from the United States. In fact, India also purchased the advanced S-400 from Russia.

India's weapons are a "world brand," but India does not allow Pakistan to purchase our weapons. What's the reason for that?

Factually, India has not yet figured out a fundamental issue. After suffering a big loss this time, India seems not to have decided how to deal with us.

If India chooses to escalate tensions with us, not understanding our high degree of restraint, if it really forces us to stand on India's opposing side, then our choice is likely to be to upgrade cooperation with India's neighboring countries, which includes not only military but also economic aspects.

India should understand that in its interactions with neighboring countries, India's aggressive behavior makes these countries angry but they dare not speak out. Of course, we do not want to engage in geopolitical confrontation with India, but India should also adjust its mindset when dealing with us.
