Aarthi: Schema Ventures

Two U.S. officials said a Chinese-made J-10 Pakistani jet fighter shot down at least two Indian military planes - one of them a French-made Rafale fighter. India has not acknowledged the loss of any of its planes while Pakistan's defence and foreign ministers have confirmed the use of J-10 aircraft but not commented on which missiles or other weapons were used. ......... The London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) notes that China now fields 267 satellites - including 115 devoted to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and a further 81 that monitor military electronic and signals information. It is a network that dwarfs its regional rivals, including India, and is second only to the U.S.. .............. "Both in terms of space and missile tracking capabilities, China is much better off now in terms of being able to monitor things as they happen," said Neill, who is an adjunct fellow at Hawaii's Pacific Forum think-tank. ..... its top diplomat in Britain, High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami, told Sky News on Thursday that China's relationship with Pakistan was not a concern for India. ......... "China requires a relationship with all of its neighbours, that includes us," he said. ............ Any deployment of India's BrahMos supersonic cruise missile - a weapon it developed jointly with Russia - would be of particular interest, some analysts say, given they do not believe it has been used in combat. ......... Over the last week, some trackers noted unusually large fleets of Chinese fishing vessels moving apparently in unison to within 120 nautical miles of Indian naval drills in the Arabian Sea as tensions rose with Pakistan. ......... Pentagon reports on China's military modernisation and analysts note that China's fishing fleets routinely perform a coordinated militia function that plays an important intelligence gathering role. ........ the deployment of 224 Chinese vessels near Indian naval exercises on May 1. ........... "The presence of Chinese military advisers and other personnel in Pakistan is well-known given how Pakistan's Ministry of Defence has been importing some of its most advanced military hardware from China, so we can be certain the PLA would be able to access relevant data," said James Char, a Chinese security scholar at Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.

Bilawal, who leads Pakistan’s charge against India’s global campaign, warns of nuclear conflict Hours after India had announced its own seven-member delegation for a global diplomatic outreach, Pakistan Prime Minister named Bilawal to head its counter-effort ........ a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan would have devastating consequences for the entire region and beyond. .........

Hours after India had announced its own seven-member delegation for a global diplomatic outreach, Pakistan Prime Minister named Bilawal to head its counter-effort.

......... "I was contacted earlier today by Prime Minister [Shehbaz Sharif], who requested that I lead a delegation to present Pakistan’s case for peace on the international stage. I am honoured to accept this responsibility and remain committed to serving Pakistan in these challenging times," Bilawal posted on X. .......... On Wednesday, Bilawal stated that the delegation has received initial briefings on a range of issues including the ceasefire, Kashmir, terrorism, and what Pakistan terms as the “attack” on the Indus Waters Treaty. ........

“Pakistan is one of the biggest victims of terrorism,” Bilawal said, while also asserting that incidents of terrorism have brought India and Pakistan perilously close to nuclear conflict in the past.

........ He emphasised the need for dialogue and the resolution of three key issues — Kashmir, terrorism and water — as prerequisites for sustainable peace in the region.
