Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir may have sold China’s JF-17 Thunder fighter jet to Libya, but the reality is that Chinese weapons are continuously being exposed. After Operation Sindoor, the latest case is of Thailand-Cambodia war, where the Chinese rocket system exploded during firing and eight Cambodian soldiers lost their lives. Cambodia’s army was using this Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) against Thailand.
The video of Thailand-Cambodia war is viral on social media. In this, Cambodian soldiers can be seen firing a multiple launch rocket system. About half a dozen Cambodian soldiers are also seen standing behind the rocket system. A soldier can also be seen making a video of the firing on his mobile. MLRS fires six rockets one after the other, but after that suddenly the rocket system explodes and catches fire.
China had made PHL-81 by copying it from Russia.
The Cambodian army uses PHL-81 type rocket systems manufactured in China. This is a version (copy) of the ‘BM021 Grad’ multiple launch rocket system of Russia (Soviet Union) in the 80s. The special thing is that the Indian Army also operates these Grad MLRS, which can fire 40 rockets in 20-22 seconds.
ANOTHER FAILURE OF CHINESE TECHNOLOGY

When the war started, Cambodia had threatened to use these rocket systems against Thailand, but the explosion of the MLRS during firing has once again raised questions on Chinese weapons and military systems.
Asim Munir lied to Libya
Recently, Pakistan has signed a JF-17 fighter jet deal with North African country Libya. JF-17 fighter jet is manufactured in China and Pakistan. Pakistani Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) Asim Munir has sold JF-17 to Libya saying that this Chinese fighter plane had shot down fighter jets like Rafale and Sukhoi of India during Operation Vermillion. Whereas the reality is that till date Pakistan has not presented any evidence of shooting down Indian fighter planes. Pakistan has not released even a single picture or video of the wreckage of these fighter jets.
Chinese HQ-9 defense system could not even detect BrahMos
During Operation Sindoor, the Chinese air defense systems HQ-9 and LY-80 used by Pakistan were not even aware of India’s air-strike and BrahMos missile attack. Chinese military systems, let alone countering Indian missiles, were even able to detect them properly.
