Chinese Military Equipment Shown Superior to That of the U.S. in India-Pakistan Conflict

Junaid Ahmad, a professor in Pakistan and a collaborator of Chandra Muzaffar’s JUST International, posted an article in the Middle East Monitor and reposted on justorg@just-international.org, warning that the conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is not over, and was close to becoming a nuclear holocaust. Ahmad is a supporter of the imprisoned former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, and denounces both India’s Narendra Modi government and the military leaders of Pakistan’s government.

Of interest in his argument is this: “One of the most consequential takeaways from this latest pseudo-conflict was the effectiveness of Chinese military technology. Under combat conditions, Pakistan’s Chinese-supplied radar and missile systems held their own, even outpacing some of India’s more expensive Western hardware. This sent quiet shockwaves through Western capitals. For the first time, Chinese military exports weren’t just affordable—they were battle-tested. The implications are immense. It’s a shift not just in the Indo-Pak balance, but in the global arms market. A credible Chinese alternative is now firmly in the mix.”
