  • INSAS rifles, self-loading rifles (SLRs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were among those found in joint operations between Thursday midnight and Friday morning.
  • Various official reports, political parties claimed that during the ethnic riots more than 6,020 varied types of sophisticated arms and different types of ammunition were looted from the police stations and police outposts by mobs, attackers and militants.
  • Over 200 Weapons, 30 IEDs Recovered in Manipur Hill Districts
  • The Manipur Police reiterates its commitment to fostering a peaceful and secure Manipur. The public is urged to cooperate with the police and security forces, and to promptly report any suspicious activity or information related to illegal arms to the nearest police station or the Central Control Room,” he said.

China Gave Live Support to Pakistan During Operation Sindoor

  • China provided live support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, including information on Indian weapon deployments and actions, Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Rahul R Singh has said. These are the first public remarks on Beijing’s role in the four-day conflict.
  • The officer said China used Pakistan like a “borrowed knife” to avoid direct confrontation on the northern borders. He also flagged Turkey’s role, suggesting trained personnel were on the ground and Ankara provided real-time support to Pakistan.
  • Naming Pakistan, China and Turkey as the “three adversaries” India faced on its “one border” in the north, Lt Gen Singh said China was providing “all possible support”, treating the northern border as a “live lab” to test its weapons supplied to Pakistan, and was following its “36 stratagems”, hoping to kill the adversary with “a borrowed knife”, and to “use the neighbour to cause pain”.
  • Speaking at the ‘New Age Military Technologies’ event organised by the FICCI, he said Turkey also “played a very important role in providing support” to Pakistan with its supply of the Bayraktar unmanned combat aerial vehicle, “numerous other drones” and “trained individuals”.
  • He said Pakistan was “the front face” and the Chinese provided “all possible support” which was “no surprise” because statistics in the last five years have revealed that 81 percent of the military hardware procured by Pakistan is Chinese.
  • “China, of course, the good old dictum… killed by a borrowed knife… he would rather use the neighbour to cause pain than get involved in the mud-slinging match on the northern borders,” he said.
  • “And another thing that China perhaps has seen is that he’s able to test his weapons against, say, various other weapon systems that are there. It’s like a live lab which is available (to China),” he said.
  • The next lesson, he said, is the importance of C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and civil-military fusion, and there is still a lot to be done in this domain.
