After Pahalgam Attack, Multiple Hercules Aircraft Land in Pakistan: Who Aiding After China?

Islamabad (The Uttam Hindu): Amid the deepening tension between India and Pakistan after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan seems to be getting military help from its close allies Turkey and China. Amid the firing from Pakistan on the border for the fourth consecutive night and the befitting reply given by the Indian soldiers, the arrival of Turkish military aircraft in Pakistan is considered important.

According to reports, on Sunday, April 27, a Turkish Air Force C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft loaded with war material landed in Karachi. After this, six more Turkish C-130 aircraft arrived at a military base in Islamabad. Pakistan is considering this as an important military aid for itself amid tension with India. However, the full details of the military material brought in these aircraft have not yet been revealed.

The military help from Turkey comes at a time when there have been reports of China also providing lethal weapons to Pakistan recently. It is being told that China has sent defense equipment like drones to Pakistan. Additionally, reports have also revealed that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has received quick delivery of state-of-the-art PL-15 very long range air-to-air missiles from China. The PAF has also released pictures of its new JF-17 Block III fighter jets, which are seen fitted with these missiles.

Defense experts believe that this growing military cooperation between Turkey, Pakistan and China can bring significant changes in the geopolitical scenario of South Asia. If the reports are true that emergency supplies of weapons are being made to Pakistan from China, then it shows that Beijing is supporting Islamabad at this critical juncture of increasing tension between India and Pakistan. This situation is considered worrying for regional stability and is being closely monitored by India and other countries.
