Pakistani military bloggers posted an article claiming that China has allowed Pakistan to use its spy satellites to monitor India's military operations.
In fact, this is not groundless. China and Pakistan have cooperated in satellite launches, such as the PRSC-EO1 remote sensing satellite. Although it is said to be used for disaster relief and farming, everyone knows these satellites can take high-definition photos. It was reported last year that Pakistani officers said they use these satellites to look at the military bases of neighboring countries.
Now even the Beidou navigation system has been provided for Pakistan to use. This system is very accurate in positioning; it can clearly show where the missile launch vehicles are parked. Indian media reported a few days ago that there were abnormal situations found on the border, which might be caused by satellite activities.
In fact, satellite data can be used for dual purposes. Just like mobile map applications can be used for navigation or marking targets, China’s help to friends has always been open and aboveboard. If someone feels uncomfortable, it's because some countries keep making small moves at the border, and being monitored is normal.
Western media are pretending to be foolish again. Their own GPS systems are used by the military every day, but when others use satellites, they complain. The technology is there, and whether to use it depends on the needs. This time, China is just supporting its brother.
A netizen accidentally let slip that the Pakistani operators had received training from China. Although the official side hasn't admitted it, the images taken by the satellites have indeed become much clearer than before. India is protesting every day now, but it is also buying satellite images from France.
Don’t understand why some people always make a fuss. There are thousands of satellites in space, and American satellites still take pictures of the Three Gorges Dam every day. It’s reasonable for Pakistan to use its cooperative satellite to watch over its own backyard.
What do you think about the satellite cooperation? Is it considered military aid? Please share your opinion in the comment section.
