The DFRAC team hunted for the viral claim on the internet and discovered that the claim was misleading. An article by Times of India caught our attention; it was published on 4 July 2025. It was titled as follows: “Operation Sindoor: China had passed live data on Indian assets to Pakistan, Turkey had provided drones, says Deputy Army Chief.” However there was nothing to Read in the article that General Singh had said that Chinese Technology helped Pakistan in defeating India.

Furthermore the article says, “Lt Gen Singh said, “When the DGMO level talks were going on, Pakistan was getting live inputs of our deployment from China. So that is one place we really need to move fast and take appropriate action.”

We also discovered a video published on the official YouTube channel of WION. The video is titled “China Has Made Pak A Testing Lab Says India Army Dep Chief On Pak-China vs India”. There was also nothing in the video bearing the comment of General Singh that proceeded that Pakistan pummeled India using Chinese technology.

Singh which says India was defeated by Pakistan through Chinese Technology in Operation Sindoor. General Singh only spoke about the assistance of China to Pakistan in the operation. It is established that the viral claim is misleading because it lacks any evidence to establish its legitimacy.
