China Delivers Another Submarine to Pakistan
China gave Pakistan another submarine, the third in a series, just before a big meeting between leaders of India and China.
This is part of China's plan to help Pakistan with its navy, like sending them powerful ships and sharing important info, so that they can have a stronger navy.
The timing may be related to the U.S. wanting to cooperate with Pakistan on minerals, since China currently dominates and is trying to keep them close.
China delivered the third Hangor-class submarine to Pakistan.
The delivery occurred before the SCO Summit between Modi and Xi Jinping.
China provided live satellite imagery during Operation Sindoor.
The submarines enhance Pakistan's naval capabilities and China's presence.
China is Pakistan's primary military hardware supplier, with over 81%.
