China Studies Regional Conflicts While India Evaluates Air Power Lessons from Ukraine and Iran

China has reportedly provided technical support to Pakistan during the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, using the experience to study military systems and US capabilities, including lessons from the Iran war on missile defense and combat strategies. Meanwhile, Indian analysts caution against overemphasizing drone and missile warfare based on Ukraine and Iran conflicts, warning that India must maintain robust conventional air power and carefully assess strategic lessons without replicating foreign conflict models.
