How India beat Chinese tech used by Pak during conflict? Shashi Tharoor explains
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that India recalibrated its military strategy in real-time to counter threats involving Chinese technology, particularly during Operation Sindoor where Islamabad was leveraging Chinese systems.
Tharoor is currently in the United States
heading one of the seven all-party delegations visiting key global capitals to present India's stand on Operation Sindoor and terrorism inflicted by Pakistan.
Responding to a question about whether India is well-positioned against Chinese technology or undergoing a strategic reassessment, Tharoor stated, "When we saw what the Pakistanis were attempting to do using, as you say, Chinese technology there's supposed to be something called a kill chain that the Chinese specialise where radar, GPS, planes, and missiles are all linked together and react instantly".
We have never particularly wanted to ask anyone to mediate.

Tharoor also pointed out that India approached the situation differently
during the recent 4-day military conflict with Pakistan, which allowed it to neutralise key threats. "We simply did things in a different way; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hit 11 airfields or breach the Chinese-supplied defences," he noted.
The Congress leader added that assessments were being made in real-time as the conflict unfolded, prompting a strategic shift. "So it's clear that assessments were taking place while the fighting was happening and we were recalibrating our strategies in order to end as effectively as we were able to end".
Tharoor also underscored the geopolitical implications of China's deepening ties with Pakistan. "China has immense stakes in Pakistan. The largest single project of the Belt and Road Initiative is in Pakistanâthe China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. So we have no illusions about the degree of commitment that China may well be feeling towards Pakistan," he said.
