Chinese and Turkish Military Aircraft Reported in Pakistan Amid Defence Cooperation
Over a roughly 60-hour period, Chinese and Turkish military transport aircraft reportedly made repeated trips to Pakistan's Nur Khan and Masroor airbases. Security sources suggest these movements involved transporting military equipment, including drones and other defence matériel. This activity reflects deepening defence ties among Pakistan, China, and Turkey, with Pakistan relying on China for various military hardware and expanding cooperation with Turkey in aerospace and unmanned systems. The exact nature of the cargo remains unconfirmed, but the surge has drawn attention amid regional security concerns.
