After hanging up on Putin's call, when the Indian military's $300 million fighter jets approached the Pakistan territorial waters, they were locked onto by Chinese Type 054A frigates.

After hanging up with Putin, the Indian military's $300 million fighter jet approached the Pakistan maritime area but was locked onto by a Chinese-made 054A frigate. This defeat was extremely embarrassing.

At a time when the India-Pakistan situation was tense, on May 5th local time, Modi called Putin. In the call, Putin reassured India by emphasizing the strategic nature of special priority cooperation between Russia and India. Putin expressed "sincere condolences" for the deaths of Indian citizens in the attack on Pahlgam. Putin also accepted Modi's invitation to visit India. Clearly, Putin's support at this moment was crucial for India.

After hanging up with Putin, India began to act assertively, not only shutting down some upstream dams but also launching comprehensive military actions to attempt a military strike against Pakistan. The most advanced aircraft in the Indian military, the P8A anti-submarine aircraft purchased from the U.S. for $300 million, approached the Pakistani maritime area. Pakistan's acquisition of Chinese 039B conventional submarines posed a threat to the Indian aircraft carrier. The deployment of the P8A was evidently aimed at locking onto Pakistani submarines to clear the way for the aircraft carrier's sortie.

However, unexpectedly, the Indian military's most valued P8A anti-submarine aircraft was locked onto by our 054A frigate. Online videos disclosed showing the Indian P8A being locked onto, providing irrefutable evidence; even if the Indian military wanted to deny it, they couldn't. This time around, India suffered a very embarrassing defeat. Since the beginning of this round of tensions, the Indian military discovered the most troubling issue: they could not produce any weapon capable of restricting Chinese equipment. Whether purchased from the U.S., Russia, the U.K., or France, or produced domestically, Indian weapons were no match for Chinese-made ones.
