/ Jul 04, 2025, 07:23PM IST
Experts have strongly reacted to Deputy Army Chief Lt Gen Rahul R Singh's revelations about the China-Turkey-Pakistan nexus. Defence expert Capt Anil Gaur (Retd) called Pakistan a "beggar state," saying China sees it as a future province and Turkey supports it due to Erdoğan's Khalifa ambitions. Foreign affairs expert Sushant Sareen said Turkey has long played double games with India and labelled Turkish defence exports to Pakistan as 'rubbish.' Defence expert Praful Bakshi highlighted how China and Turkey provided drones and intel to Pakistan. Experts warned that in any future war, India must be prepared to fight alone without Western support.#chinaturkeypakistannexus #indianmilitary #defencestrategy #geopolitics #indiapakistan #turkeyindia #chinaindia #westernsupport #selfreliance #militaryalliance #dronewarfare #intelligencewarfare #regionalsecurity #globalpowerdynamics #erdoğan #pakistan #india #china #turkey #strategicautonomy #toi #toibharat

Army deputy chief: Operation Sindoor faced 3 foes - Pakistan, China & Turkiye
NEW DELHI: India faced three adversaries on just one border during Operation Sindoor , with Pakistan being actively supported by China and Turkiye, a top Army officer said on Friday, adding that Beijing was even providing Islamabad with "live" satellite inputs on Indian military movements and deployments. "We had one border and two adversaries, actually three. Pakistan was in the front. China was providing all possible support," Army deputy chief (capability development & sustenance) Lt Gen Rahul R Singh said at a seminar on 'New Age Military Technologies' organised by Ficci. "This is no surprise because 81% of military hardware that Pakistan is getting is all Chinese. China, of course, (followed) the good old dictum, kill with a borrowed knife. .. So, he (sic) would rather use the neighbour to cause pain than get involved in the mudslinging match on the northern borders," he added. The deep Pakistan-China military collusiveness was reinforced during the cross-border hostilities from May 7 to 10, with Islamabad using a wide array of Chinese weapons and sensor-shooter networks, ranging from J-10 fighters firing the PL-15 beyond visual range air-to-air missiles to HQ-9 air defence missile batteries, as reported by TOI earlier. Lt Gen Singh, on his part, said China was able to test its weapons against those used by India during the conflict. "So, it's like a live lab available to them. It is something that we have to be very cognizant about," he said. "Turkiye also played an important role in providing the type of support it did," he added. Pakistan, for instance, extensively used Turkish-origin Byker Yiha III kamikaze drones and Asisguard Songar drones during the conflict. The senior officer said crucial lessons among the multiple ones to be learned from Operation Sindoor include the need for an effective C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), a more robust air defence network and civil-military fusion. The candid remarks come after Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan, speaking in Singapore on May 31, downplayed China's role in the conflict. While Pakistan may have leveraged Chinese commercial satellite imagery, there is "no proof of real-time targeting support" provided by Beijing, the CDS had said. 'Pak was getting live inputs about India from China' Pointing to China using its extensive satellite network to monitor Indian military movements, Lt Gen Singh said, "When the DGMO-level talks were on, Pakistan actually was mentioning that we know that your such and such vector is primed and ready for action, and we would request you to perhaps pull it back. So, he (sic) was getting live inputs from China." Lt Gen Singh also pointed out Indian population centres were not quite at risk during Operation Sindoor. "In the next round, we'll have to be prepared for that."

Anti India Yunus plans big conspiracy against India, may join hands with this country to open weapon factories, not Pakistan, China, country is... Dhaka: Amid the ongoing tensions between India and neighbouring Bangladesh, Turkey is going to enter into a strategic defence partnership with Dhaka. As per reports, a top Turkish defence industry official will visit the Middle East country next week, and during the same period, both countries can hold important talks to expand the defence-industry partnership. People familiar with the development have said that Haluk Gorgun, head of Turkey's Defence Industry Agency (SSB), will visit Dhaka on July 8, on a one-day visit. He is scheduled to meet Chief Advisor of the Interim Government Muhammad Yunus. Is Mohammad Yunus Preparing To Enter A Strategic Defence Partnership With Turkey? It is speculated that Mohammad Yunus is preparing to enter into a strategic defence partnership with Turkey. Notably, the Middle East country helped Pakistan against India during the recent conflict. Haluk Gorgun's visit to Dhaka can not be seen as a normal formal meeting, but through this, Ankara is planning to strengthen its presence in Bangladesh at the strategic level. As per a report by the Economic Times, Gorgun is scheduled to meet Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman, Navy Chief Admiral M. Nazmul Hasan and Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmud Khan. Why Turkey Struggled to Gain Ground in Bangladesh Under Sheikh Hasina? During Sheikh Hasina's tenure, Turkey did not get any chance to set its foot in the country. But now under the Mohammad Yunus-led government the country has a chance as he supports Erdogan's 'Caliphate rule'. The report states that Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), which is an apex investment promotion agency, is planning to set up defence industrial complexes in Chittagong and Narayanganj in collaboration with Turkish defence companies. Notably, BIDA Executive Chairman Chowdhury Ashiq Mahmud Bin Harun recently completed a five-day trip to Turkey. During the visit, he held talks with major Turkish defence companies. It is worth mentioning that in recent years, Turkish companies have gained global recognition in drone technology, radar systems, missile development and aircraft manufacturing. Does Turkey Want To Be In A Position To Directly Challenge India? It is believed that Pakistan's friend Turkey, by setting up defence factories in Bangladesh, wants to be in a position to directly challenge India. The Middle East country also wants to sell its defence materials in Asia and African countries. Bangladesh also wants aerospace collaboration with Turkey. Following a meeting between Bangladeshi Foreign Affairs Advisor Mohammad Tauhid Hussain and Turkish Aerospace Chief Mehmet Demirolu at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in April 2025, Mohammad Yunus is pursuing an aerospace agreement with Ankara. During the meeting, both the sides possibilities of cooperation in the field of advanced fighter aircraft, training aircraft and satellite systems. Does Bangladesh Want To Become Turkey's Strategic Partner? Bangladesh's evolving relationship with Turkey signals a shift beyond a simple buyer-seller dynamic towards a strategic partnership. This development, alongside China's growing influence, suggests Turkey aims to exert pressure on India through Bangladesh. Furthermore, the involvement of the United States in a potential plan to separate Myanmar into a Christian state, with Bangladesh's possible assistance, indicates Bangladesh is becoming a key player in regional geopolitical manoeuvring. This situation raises concerns that Bangladesh could become a battleground for competing global interests, potentially exploited by nations opposed to India.
