A thorough fact-check review confirms that the tweet posted by @TheLegateIN on X is fake propaganda originating from India-linked accounts. The tweet alleges that a Chinese analyst with close ties to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) admitted that China will not supply J-35 fighters to Pakistan for at least the next 5-7 years. However, no credible sources, official statements, or verifiable evidence support this claim. The narrative appears designed to create distrust between China and Pakistan and to mislead the public about their defense cooperation. In my opinion, this is a clear example of disinformation aimed at undermining the longstanding strategic partnership between Beijing and Islamabad. Readers should treat such unsubstantiated claims with skepticism and rely on official channels for accurate information on military collaborations.
