After Hammering Pakistan, Indian Weapons Give China, Turkey Sleepless Nights
Following the recent war-like conflict between India and Pakistan, the impact of Newton's law—every action has an equal and opposite reaction—can now be seen in the stock markets of defence companies in China, Turkey, and India. While defence stocks in China and Turkey are experiencing sharp declines, Indian defence stocks are witnessing a significant surge. Simply put, from the battlefield to the stock market, Chinese and Turkish weapons have been exposed and beaten.
Pakistan relied heavily on Chinese and Turkish drones, fighter jets, and missiles during the conflict with India. However, these systems proved ineffective against India's defence capabilities. This poor performance has raised serious questions about the reliability and quality of Chinese and Turkish defence products. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor, of Zee News, analysed the impact of India's defence power on Turkey, China.

There's a popular saying in the business world: "The market knows everything, and price is king." Today, China's HS China A Aerospace & Defence Index fell by over 2%, with individual defence stocks seeing declines ranging from 2% to 7%. Notably, AVIC Chengdu, which manufactures the JF-17 Thunder and J-10C fighter jets—used by Pakistan during the conflict—saw its stock fall 7% after the conditional ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had previously confirmed the use of the J-10C jets against India.
Similarly, Zhuzhou Hongda Electronics Corporation Ltd, which produces the PL-15 missile, witnessed a drop of more than 6%. The company is state-owned and plays a significant role in China's missile development. While Chinese and Turkish defence stocks fell after the ceasefire, Indian defence companies surged. Bharat Dynamics Limited, a government-owned missile manufacturer, rose by over 10%. Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), which supplies to the aerospace sector, saw a rise of over 4%. Shipbuilding companies also gained between 4% and 6%.
On the other hand, Turkish defence giant Aselsan A.S., which manufactures everything from tanks to drones, witnessed a sharp decline of over 12% in its shares over the past three days—starting Friday. This follows the Indian defence system's complete neutralization of Turkish drones.
5 Key Takeaways from Market Trends:
* Global confidence in Chinese and Turkish defence systems has eroded. * Demand for their defence products is likely to decline in coming months. * Indian-made defence products are gaining both demand and trust globally. * India is set to increase its defence spending under the "Make in India" push, already announced by the Prime Minister.
* India-Russia defence relations are expected to strengthen further.
Who Buys From Whom?
According to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), India sources its defence equipment primarily from:
Russia (36%) France (33%) Israel (18%)
Others (13%)
(e.g., S-400 from Russia, Rafale jets from France)
Pakistan sources:
China (81%) Turkey (~4%) Netherlands (~5.5%)
Others (>9%)
As the saying goes, every crisis presents an opportunity. China and Turkey tried to capitalize on the India-Pakistan conflict—but their defence systems were exposed and discredited, while India's indigenous defence capabilities earned global trust. So, is this the beginning of the end for the Chinese-Turkish defence market dominance? Only time will tell—but the signals are clear.

Berlin [Germany], June 8 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi has said that India's Armed Forces have given a befitting reply to those who have cast an evil eye on the country and that there will be a firm response to any terror attack. Priyanka Chaturvedi, who is a member of an all-party delegation visiting partner countries to highlight India's zero tolerance policy against terrorism, told members of the Indian diaspora in Germany that India gave a firm response to the Pahalgam terror attack through Operation Sindoor. 'Our armed forces gave a befitting reply to those who have time and again attacked our country . Our response has been mature, responsible,' she said. 'We are the land of Mahatma, we are the land of Buddha, but we are also the land of Krishna,' she added. She said the terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir was targeted in Operation Sindoor. She said India was, in a way, carrying out the work of the UN, by targeting terror camps. Priyanka Chaturvedi also took a jibe at Pakistan getting a position to serve as vice-chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee of the United Nations. 'Do you know what responsibility they got? They have gotten the vice-chairmanship of the Counter-Terrorism Committee. This is like asking Masood Azhar and Hafeez Saeed to fight for global peace and justice. We have to call this out. Not only India but the entire world is suffering. From Masood Azhar to Osama Bin Laden - all have been found there (Pakistan). They have also gotten chairmanship of the Taliban Sanctions Committee,' she said. She said all faiths co-exist peacefully in India. 'The Jinnah inside Asim Munir was woken when he delivered the speech saying Hindus and Muslims cannot coexist. Today, India is a shining example of how 200 million Muslims live in harmony and is a befitting reply to Pakistan,' she said. Chaturvedi said she belongs to a party which is against talks with Pakistan till it supports cross-border terrorism. 'I am proud I come from that party', she said. She gave a call for the diaspora to show support for the Indian armed forces and the diaspora burst into chants praising them. At the start of the community event, the Indian diaspora observed a two-minute silence to pay tributes to people who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Priyanka Chaturvedi told ANI later that it is global responsibility to fight against terrorism. 'We have seen the strength of our diaspora in the six nations we met various officials and we kept forward our views in front of told them the problem of terrorism that we have been facing for decades can also reach your is the responsibility of the world to call out and the various nations that we visited have extended support to us in the fight against terrorism...'

The delegation arrived in Germany after concluding their visit to Belgium. Earlier, Ravi Shankar Prasad, said they raised strong concerns about terrorism during their visit to Brussels and generals of Pakistan 'run that country with the help of a military terrorist coalition', which is a 'threat' to democracy and humanity. The Indian Armed Forces carried out targeted strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of over 100 terrorists. India repelled subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases. (ANI)

No one vacated village: Resident in Barmer following one month of Operation Sindoor
Jaisalmer (Rajasthan) [India], June 7 (ANI): Following the completion of one month of Operation Sindoor, people living near the Indo-Pak border in Rajasthan expressed happiness. A resident in Barmer said that there was too much enthusiasm among the people during Operation Sindoor, and nobody living near the border vacated their village. A resident, Raghuvir Singh, said, 'My village is just 2 km away from the Indo-Pak border. We have seen Operation Sindoor very closely. Nobody living near the border vacated their village; they supported the Indian Army and BSF. The Indian Air Force destroyed the terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and proved that this is the new India, 'jo ghar mein ghuskar maarta hai'. There was not much impact in Barmer. Uttarlai Air Force Station is nearby.' Another resident in Barmer said that the youth and senior citizens in the village were willing to be part of the operation. A resident, Ashok, said, 'We trust the leadership of PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Indian Armed Forces. We were not scared as our Indian Armed Forces are very strong.' A local in Jaisalmer said, 'There is a wave of happiness among the people. The Indian Armed Forces destroyed the terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. India gave a befitting reply to Pakistan.

Now, those houses which have suffered heavy damage will be given Rs 2 lakh, and those partially damaged will receive Rs 1 lakh more,' he said. (ANI)
