Where is this whole “China not getting credit” narrative even coming from? Who exactly said China wasn’t involved or important? And more importantly, who gave Turkiye full credit in the first place? That angle feels completely manufactured like someone’s trying to invent a controversy that didn’t exist.
Also, not quite sure how you arrived at the conclusion that "Pakistanis now realize" it was solely China behind the success. That’s just not how it happened.
In reality, the outcome was a result of a well-coordinated and integrated mix of systems: AWACS, fighters, BVRAAMs, drones, AD networks, ECM/ESM units, MLRS sourced from China, US, EU, Turkiye, and developed indigenously. It wasn’t about one country, one system, or one breakthrough.
A huge part of the success came from integrating systems like Link-16 and Link-17 into a network-centric battlefield environment. And all of that would’ve meant nothing without the professionalism and rigorous training of the pilots, engineers, and ground teams who made everything work under pressure.
Modern warfare isn’t won by one contributor alone. It’s about strategic execution, interoperability, and adaptation. Trying to assign victory to just one player whether China, Turkiye, or anyone else oversimplifies a much more complex and hard-fought success.
