How Pakistan Exposed China's 'Proxy Warfare' Tactics During India's Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Sources said the battle was a testbed for fifth-generation, multi-domain conflict orchestrated by China, executed by Pakistan, and augmented by Turkey During DGMO-level ceasefire talks in May, Pakistan provided precise details of Indian strike vectors, sourced through Chinese satellites, SIGINT aircraft, and radar sweeps, exposing Beijing's 'proxy war" tactics, top security sources told CNN-News18 on Friday. Indian encrypted communications were intercepted via Chinese ELINT platforms, compromising target secrecy and enabling precise Pakistani counterstrikes, they added. Pakistan executed strikes with unusual precision, using 81% of its combat inventory—J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and EW modules—and treated the conflict as a live weapons lab, the sources said. Bayraktar TB2 drones, accompanied by trainers and pilots, were deployed for persistent aerial surveillance and guided artillery barrages. Electronic Warfare: India's Project Kautilya jammers disrupted Chinese-Pakistani ISR channels, neutralising enemy drones and artillery accuracy. Standoff Strikes: SkyStriker drones, BrahMos, and SCALP-EG cruise missiles replaced manned missions; target decisions were compressed to under 60 minutes to evade ISR leaks. Army, Air Force, and Navy units were synchronised under a dynamic control grid, limiting adversary ISR exploitation. Proxy Warfare Now Precision-Guided: China's indirect participation weaponised both Pakistan and Turkey, avoiding diplomatic fallout. Future Warfare Will Be Sensor-Driven, Not Tank-Driven: The enemy's advantage lay in seeing first and striking first—ISR denial must now drive India's force posture. Rapid Tactical Agility is India's Edge: India's swift transition to drone-based strikes, electronic warfare, and theatre-level command within 48 hours stalled the adversary's momentum. Operation Sindoor was not a conventional war, said the sources. It was a testbed for fifth-generation, multi-domain conflict orchestrated by China, executed by Pakistan, and augmented by Turkey, they added. India's strategic success, said the sources, lay not in battlefield wins but in recognising and rapidly adapting to this paradigm.

Parag Jain is new RAW boss
NEW DELHI: Parag Jain, one of the brains behind the meticulous planning of 'Operation Sindoor', has been appointed as the new Chief of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), officials said here on Saturday. The two-year tenure of Jain, an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from the 1989 batch of the Punjab cadre, officially begins on July 1. He takes over from Ravi Sinha, who retires on June 30. The decision to appoint Jain as chief of the external intelligence agency was made by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet earlier this week, officials said. Before this, Jain was the head of the Aviation Research Centre, an organisation that deals with aerial surveillance, SIGINT operations, photo reconnaissance flights (PHOTINT), monitoring of borders and imagery intelligence (IMINT). Jain is known for his exceptional expertise in integrating both human intelligence (HUMINT) and technical intelligence (TECHINT) and is widely credited as the mastermind behind the planning of 'Operation Sindoor', providing intelligence support that enabled the armed forces to execute precise strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Meet Parag Jain, the new R&AW chief who palyed key role in Operation Sindoor
Parag Jain NEW DELHI: Parag Jain, a seasoned intelligence officer credited with masterminding the high-stakes Operation Sindoor, has been appointed the new chief of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). His appointment was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, with his two-year tenure set to begin on July 1, a day after incumbent Ravi Sinha retires. Jain, a 1989-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from the Punjab cadre, is widely regarded as an expert in both human and technical intelligence. According to the official government order, 'The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has approved the appointment of Shri Parag Jain, IPS to the post of Secretary, Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW) under Cabinet Secretariat for a tenure of two years from the date of assumption of the charge of the post until further orders, whichever is earlier. ..' Before this, he headed the Aviation Research Centre (ARC), an elite wing known for its work in aerial surveillance, SIGINT (signals intelligence), PHOTINT (photo reconnaissance), IMINT (imagery intelligence), and border monitoring. His operational depth and leadership were most recently seen in the planning and intelligence behind Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, on May 7. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tripura Mosquito Crisis Solved by Strange New Device (See How) Mosquito Eliminator Read More Undo Officials told PTI that 'the missile strikes were guided by pinpointed intelligence gathered by a team led by Jain.' His command over HUMINT and TECHINT integration was instrumental in enabling the armed forces to carry out precision strikes across the Line of Control. Jain's operational experience in Kashmir makes him an ideal fit to deal with Pakistan's attempts to revive cross-border terror infrastructure. His involvement during the 2019 reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir was significant, particularly in security coordination. Apart from domestic intelligence, Jain has served at Indian missions abroad — in Sri Lanka and Canada. In Canada, he monitored the activities of Khalistani terror modules operating from foreign soil, further strengthening his credentials as a neighbourhood specialist. He was promoted to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP) in Punjab on January 1, 2021, though he was on central deputation at the time. During the height of terrorism in Punjab, Jain served as SSP and DIG in multiple districts, contributing to critical counter-insurgency operations. With a reputation as a no-nonsense operator in the intelligence community, Jain now takes charge at a time when India's external security challenges — from Pakistan and China to cross-border terror financing and transnational extremist networks — demand sharp strategic responses.

India hit nine terror camps across the border and Line of Control, including the headquarters of banned terror outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba on May 7. The missile strikes were guided by pinpointed intelligence gathered by a team led by Jain, officials said. With extensive ground experience in Kashmir, Jain is well-positioned to counter Pakistan's ongoing efforts to rebuild terror infrastructure in PoK. Jain also brings extensive experience in addressing neighbourhood challenges and issues related to Khalistan terror groups. He played a crucial role in Jammu and Kashmir during the 2019 reorganisation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Throughout his career, Jain has held several significant positions. He was promoted to the rank of Director General of Police (DGP) in Punjab on January 1, 2021, though he was on central deputation at the time. His career includes significant operational contributions during the height of terrorism in Punjab, where he served as SSP and Deputy Inspector General of Police in various districts. Jain has also served in Indian Missions in Sri Lanka and Canada. During his tenure in Canada, he monitored Khalistan terror modules operating from the soil of that country.
