Mumbai, July 5: Pakistani social media accounts are claiming that the Deputy Chief of Army Staff of India, Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, said that Pakistan used Chinese Technology, which played a big role in defeating India. The so-called Pakistani propaganda accounts further alleged that Lt Gen Rahul Singh also said that Pakistan's electronic warfare and C4 intelligence capability surprised them during Operation Sindoor. "Chinese technology played a big role in defeating India," the social media accounts alleged, citing the top military general. Scroll below to know the truth about the alleged claims. The claims surfaced online after a news channel made them on X (formerly Twitter). In its post, the news channel, identified as "The Daily CPEC," said that a top Indian military general said Pakistan's electronic warfare and C4 intelligence capability surprised them. "Indian general said Pakistan used Chinese Technology that played a big role in defeating India," another post by The Daily CPEC read. However, this is not the complete truth. Fact Check: Was PM Narendra Modi Served Mutton Biryani at Dinner Hosted by Trinidad and Tobago PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar? Digitally-Manipulated Image Circulated To Spread Fake News. A fact check conducted by PIB revealed that the alleged claims are fake. Debunking the fake news, PIB said that the Deputy Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Rahul R Singh, has made no such statement. PIB also termed the alleged statements attributed to Lt Gen Rahul R Singh as "fabricated claims by Pakistani propaganda accounts". Furthermore, PIB shared Lt Gen Rahul R Singh's actual statement. So the claims that Pakistan's electronic warfare and C4 intelligence capability surprised India are fake. Also, Deputy Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Rahul R Singh, did not make both statements. Lt Gen Rahul Singh made the statement while speaking at the "New Age Military Technologies" event organised by the FICCI on Friday, July 4. In the video, he is heard saying that "81 per cent of the military hardware with Pakistan is Chinese".
