India Destroyed a Chinese Missile
Pakistan used Chinese PL-15 and HQ-9P missiles, JF-17, and J-10 jets against India during the conflict, but these were neutralised by India's indigenous weapons (such as the BrahMos and Akashteer).
On May 9th, fragments of a PL-15E missile were recovered from a field in Punjab's Hoshiarpur district. This missile was made in China. Subsequently, on May 12th, the Air Force displayed its wreckage for the first time in a press conference.
