What did the Chinese Defense Ministry say about the pl-15 missile?
Due to Pakistan, China’s situation remains ahead and the gap behind. In response to a question asked about the PL-15 missile, Chinese Ministry spokesman Colonel Zhang Shiaogang said, “The missile you are talking about is the export equipment, which has been shown in the Defense Exhibition in the country and abroad.”
According to the Times of India report, China’s Ministry of Defense said, “India and Pakistan are neighbors that cannot be separated. We hope that the two countries will remain calm and restrained and will avoid actions that can increase stress.”
Chinese weapons opened worldwide
Taking revenge on the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Army entered Pakistan and destroyed 9 terrorist camps, in which more than 100 terrorists died. After this, the Pakistani army tried unsuccessfully to attack many military bases in India. The Pakistani Army used China and Turki drones and missiles, which the Indian air defense system demolished in the sky itself.
The missiles that India destroyed in the sky during the attacks carried out by Pakistan on the night of 8, 9 and 10 May, came out of Made in China weapons. After this, questions started raising on other weapons including China’s missile. However, the Chinese government has avoided commenting directly on these reports.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), China supplied 81 percent of Pakistan’s total arms imports between 2020 and 2024, including fighter aircraft, navy ships, submarine and missile systems.
