In a major revelation under Operation Sindoor, India’s Army Deputy Chief disclosed that China shared live military surveillance data with Pakistan, while Turkey provided drones to aid anti-India activities. This strategic coordination raises concerns over a growing anti-India alliance in the region.
China-Pakistan Data Collusion
According to Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi, Deputy Chief of the Indian Army, Operation Sindoor has unearthed critical intelligence pointing to China’s real-time transmission of Indian military asset data to Pakistan. This includes troop movements, base coordinates, and infrastructure updates. This form of cyber and satellite-enabled espionage could destabilize India’s border operations.
Turkish Drone Support Raises Alarm
The operation also confirmed that Turkey has been supplying Pakistan with advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enhancing Pakistan’s surveillance and strike capabilities. These drones are allegedly being used for monitoring Indian positions and, in some cases, cross-border reconnaissance.
Strategic Shift in Regional Alliances
This trio—China, Pakistan, and Turkey—signals a shift in geopolitical dynamics. While China and Pakistan have maintained a long-standing alliance, Turkey’s active military and intelligence collaboration in South Asia marks a concerning development for Indian defense policymakers.
Army’s Response and Strategic Countermeasures
The Indian Army has already initiated counter-surveillance and bolstered cyber defense protocols. Intelligence-sharing between Indian agencies and allies has intensified to track the ongoing movements and prevent further data breaches.
Implications for National Security
The exposure of such an alliance emphasizes the need for enhanced strategic preparedness, technology upgrades, and international diplomatic engagement. India may also raise the matter in global defense forums and urge for sanctions or counter-alliances with like-minded nations.
