News India Live, Digital Desk:Amidst the ongoing tension in West Asia, a news has emerged that has given sleepless nights to defense experts across the world. Quoting intelligence reports and satellite data, it is being claimed that China’s mysterious cargo planes have secretly landed in Iran’s capital Tehran. The most shocking thing is that these planes had switched off their ‘transponders’ (tracking devices) just before entering Iranian airspace, so that they could not be caught on radar.
‘Secret’ landing of 4 Chinese planes within 48 hours
According to media reports and aviation trackers, at least four large Chinese cargo planes have landed at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and other military bases within the past 48 hours. It is being claimed that these planes had started hiding their location midway. Defense analysts believe that this type of ‘radio silence’ or turning off the transponder is done only when some highly sensitive or secret cargo is being carried in the aircraft.
Is China sending dangerous weapons?
This mysterious activity has further strengthened the fears that China is secretly supplying deadly weapons to Iran. US intelligence agencies had earlier indicated that Beijing is preparing to send state-of-the-art air defense systems and shoulder-fired missiles (MANPADS) to Iran. Although both China and Iran have officially termed these reports as ‘misleading’, the way these planes reached Tehran in the darkness of midnight has turned the needle of suspicion towards China.
America’s tension increased, Trump gave strict warning
There is a stir in Washington after this action of Chinese planes. Taking a tough stance on this matter, US President Donald Trump had already warned that if China provided military help to Iran, heavy tariffs and stringent sanctions would be imposed on Beijing. Recently it was also reported that there was a communication through letters between Trump and Xi Jinping, in which China had assured not to send weapons. But the latest developments have highlighted the gap between US claims and Chinese promises.
War equations may change in West Asia
If Iran is getting modern weapons and technical help from China through these aircraft, then it can completely change the equations of war in the region. Defense experts say that with China’s cooperation, Iran’s military strength can increase manifold, which will prove to be a big threat not only to Israel but also to American interests in the region. At present, efforts are being made to find out through satellite imagery what goods have been unloaded from those planes.
