India is dissatisfied with Pakistan receiving many weapons from China, as Indian Foreign Minister said: "The weapons that Pakistan owns come from China... you can draw your own conclusions."
In a recent interview with German media, the Indian Foreign Minister talked about the recent India-Pakistan conflict. When asked about China's role in the conflict, he said, "Many of Pakistan's weapons come from China... you can draw your own conclusions."
According to The Indian Express on May 26, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar recently told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in an interview that the United States has influence in ending the conflict and emphasized India's independent stance in strategic decision-making.
When asked about China's role in this India-Pakistan military conflict, the Indian Foreign Minister did not specify any details but said, "You know, many of Pakistan's weapon systems originate from China, and the relationship between the two countries is very close. You can draw your own conclusions from this."
When asked whether the recent military confrontation between India and Pakistan had reached the level of nuclear escalation, the Indian Foreign Minister expressed surprise at the question and criticized Western countries for always linking any event in South Asia to a nuclear crisis.
When asked "how far is the world from nuclear conflict," the Indian Foreign Minister responded, "Very very far."
India Developing Advanced Fighter Jets
According to AFP reporting from New Delhi on May 27, three weeks after the military conflict with Pakistan, India approved a plan to develop a fighter jet prototype on May 27, aiming to enhance its defense autonomy.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated in a statement that the Defence Ministry has approved the development of a fifth-generation advanced multi-role combat aircraft (AMCA) prototype. The Indian Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), under the Ministry of Defence, "is executing this plan through industrial partnerships," which "will be an important step toward self-reliance in the aerospace sector."
This month, India and Pakistan experienced a four-day conflict in Kashmir, the most serious conflict between the two countries in decades, until a ceasefire negotiation was announced on May 10 under US mediation.
Islamabad claimed that its Chinese-made fighter jets shot down six Indian aircraft, including three French-made Rafale fighters.
India launched this military operation to retaliate against the attack that occurred on April 22 in a tourist town in Indian Kashmir, which killed 26 people, all civilians.
